Why focus your life on making someone believe something that they don’t want to. Focus your energies on more important things.

We focus our efforts on finding the truth. Since we do not believe the truth can be found in religious texts, we argue against them.

but many scientist and astrology (I spell it wrong but the word that people who study history through digging or discover things) found what is strange is that anyone usually write or draw what they witness through out history yet NOT ONE HAS FOUND ANYTHING MENTION JESUS IN HIS TIME. he’ve been famous of his time and nobody mention of him? not even in dairy.

Jesus is only mention in the bible and who wrote the bible mention Jesus birthdate at two different time. which are conflict to “accuracy and trustworthy”

I found out those at Knowreligion.net

Since then other evidence has also been bought to the table so to speak:
How the cosmos looks in the microwave spectrum (you could build a microwave telescope if your heart desired), the abundance of Hydrogen and Helium when compared with Uranium and Plutonium (on a cosmological scale, you can again do this although harder), and the fact that computer simulations predict the outcome of the universe if given a singularity and the laws of physics we know (i.e. gravitational constant, magnet spin, positive and negative charges, etc all hold true).

Now until a more likely theory is put forward most Scientists agree this is the most likely given the evidence.

I never said I didn’t accept the chance that someone could live to those ages, I said it would be “miraculous” if they did, especially in those days where disease was rife and people were lucky to live past 35, let alone 70.

I hate it when people refer to Evolution as “chance” because it is nothing of the sort. Yes, there are probabilities involved, but it all comes down to natural selection, a far from random process.

At the end of the day, there is more proof for the Big Bang and Evolution than there is for anything in the Bible. I’m not disregarding the theory that God “used” these two methods to create life, but I have no proof to suggest that he did.

A small chance of life forming is an inevitability given enough time. I also accept that it is possible a god created the first microorganism.

It’s not that hard to replicate early life being created. See the Miller-Urey experiment:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller-Urey_experiment
It’s not certain whether the early atmosphere of the earth was reducing or not.

“how can you so easily dismiss his experience? I thought that Atheist regard empiricism as the holy grail. His experience may be nothing like mine or yours, but…I haven’t seen Big Bangs recently, either.

The point here is: you accept the science that already conforms with your world view. Atheist criticize science and experience that differs from what they KNOW to be true.”

Because the story is obviously unrealistically biased. It has someone turning from a right-wing’s stereotypical “evil atheist” into their stereotypical “perfect Christian”.

The difference is that I have seen PROOF of the Big Bang lately. There is evidence to support it. Why are you posting on an atheist blog if you don’t believe things for which there is evidence? Should I assume you accept things without evidence, such as a clearly biased (and most likely completely fabricated) story?

As for the possibility of the bible having been written completely by the actual disciples of Jesus, it is clearly impossible. Most of the writtings in the bible are much older. Also, as mentioned, the early writings are disputable for the reasons mentioned. THe large majority of the writing of the bible came “from dreams” and not any personal account of Jesus. This is FACT, it’s not a theory.

It is highly probable that Paul’s dream boy morphed into a real person over a few generations as more and more common lore was added to the story as well.

No one says life formed from nothing. We are made of atoms. Watch the videos from Potholer54. He shows how life was most probably formed.

There is absolutely no evidence that anyone could possibly live beyond 125, even with todays advancements in science.
