The Bible

[maynoth]

Got awful quite in here. lol wonder if we ran all the X-tians off?

I see the bible as being like our American constitution.....great in it's concept! And religion like politics....taking that concept and bending it to fit one's own bias. In other words...Bible=good....Religion=not so good!

dale!!!, the Bible isn't scientifically accurate at all.
It is right on some points, but the majority is whether too vague or too subjective to be accuratetly interpreted.

For instance, how does the Bible explain the fact that so many different races exist, when Adam and Eve were both white?
There is no objective answer to this in the Bible, because it's completely impossible.

Also how did Adam and Eve's offspring populated the Earth without recurring to incest?
They didn't! They actually commited incest!
Does this seem like a "perfect" plan from a perfect God?
And the incest is repeated again in the Flood, when Noah's family has to re-populate the Earth.
Does this actually make any sense to you?!

The Bible's partially accurate predictions can easily be explained in many ways.
For instance, Leonardo Da Vinci predicted some of the inventions that are common to us, in our days, like the helicopter, the parachute and the tank.

Many science fiction authors have accurately predicted holograms, fax machines, submarines, satellites, astronauts, space stations, nanotechnology, virtual reality, etc...

Were all these men prophets writing the words of God?
I don't think so. These were men with similar creativity to the ones who wrote the Bible.

You know how Jesus was "supposed" to have lived during Ancient Rome?
Well, i was wondering if a sword stabbed in the ground was the so called "cross"?
Evil fliped down? Fighting turned off?
I believe something made this, but I also believe people dont know anything about it. God is probably something completely different.

Untill i know everything about Space and Time.. this religion is here to help others (besides me) keep from knowing the "REAL TRUTH".

My life goal is to find out how it's possible we are here when everything must have a creator.. so the first being is impossible without a creator before it.

..................................................................................... we know nothing yet



btw, i think if jesus was real.. he may have been allmost an alien life form from the race that might have created us. But what created that race?
They may be amoung us as we speak.. hideing.. in they're deminsion. Those Ghost sightings may have been them...

creepy, no?



Recent studies show that through a series of words shown.. religous words caused people (even the non beilievers) to have the most activity in heart rate..etc.
They even tested people who didnt even know what the words ment (they were from other countrys).. still.. highest heart rate on those words.

Where'd you get that from?

Interesting Topic...here is my 2 Cents:

1. For the Bible to be the absolute "Word of God" and the only Living testament of Gods plan and design for Human beings it is safe to assume that, since he is all knowing supreme being, that this book must be the truth. The complete truth.

God is basing your entire existance upon faith of the "TRUTH" with in those pages.

2. If you find errancy in those pages then there is flaw...and if there is flaw then you have to allow for the fact that it wasnt completely "inspired by God" and if it is not Completly designed by God then who is to say what part is and what part isnt.

Or if it even came from "God"

Seems pretty thin to me.

Me 2 Kragon.... It’s really odd we haven't seen more Christians here defending themselves... Maybe it’s because at an unconscious level they know believing things on faith is BS, and that you cannot do stupid things like that now in the 21st Century. Maybe they have to cling to lies in order to feel like there is some purpose to their life. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Anyone know why this thread keeps disappearing?

Johnny, It doesn&#39;t say in the bible that they were both white. Even so God would have given them the genes for the whole human race.

BWAHAHAHAH... Yes god made Adam and Eve with genes for the Caucasoid, Negroid and Mongoloid genomes&#33; BWAHAHAHAH.
