Episode 4 of the Amateur Scientist Podcast is the Price interview I was thinking of. It's from 3 years ago, but it's still good - and it's another good show to listen to as well...just not while you're driving because you're liable to laugh so hard at some of their jokes you could run into other people or a wall.

Thanks for the tip!

Yes, but since I'm a Muslim, I don't believe that Jesus is the son of God.

Wow, using one book of fairy tales to counter another, how productive.

Now, if I have read the Bible correctly, Jesus is supposed to be the son of God. His sonship was different in that he was always the Son of God. The angels were apparently considered sons of God but they were created while Jesus alsways existed.
Quote:Speaking of David and Solomon, I forgot to mention in my original post was the genealogy of Jesus. If Jesus was supposed to be born of a virgin, why does he even [i]have[\i] a genealogy? Joseph wasn't his biological father, so why would he have a bloodline?
The genealogy in Matthew shows that Joseph was descended from the kings of Israel and would presumably have been king if the monarchy had still existed. Jesus wasn't his biological child but considered legally his son because Joseph was married to Jesus's mother. It was through Joseph that he inherited the right to be the king of Israel.
Jesus was human as well as devine because he was born of Mary. Her genealogy is given in Luke 3. Here is a good article about the two genealogies:

His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

I wish I could say the same.
But seriously, do you see something factually wrong with my statement or do you just like whining?

Oh, so he's only rightfully the king of Israel because some broke sheep herder is apparently a relative 2000 years removed from a Jewish King and not because God is him/his father?
And what about the Genealogies in Matthew and Luke being MASSIVELY different?

If anything it shows that the book is even more spectacular bullshit than even you Fundies indirectly make it out to be.

Ohhh Matt Slick, excuse me while I don't give a fuck. In case you haven't realized yet, Matt Slick is despised by almost as many Christians as he is Atheists for many reasons, but in this case it's his 'interpretations', they are at occasion like reading those humorous demonstrations of bad reasoning and reading into it that you see from Mitchel and Webb.
