Galen,

<<Your belief is based on nothing but faith, hardly evidence of anything.>>

That's a straw man. You promote falsehood about my Christianity.

No matter how much I provide you with historical, verifiable evidence for Jesus and his resurrection, you continue to dump your presuppositions on me.

Bye, bye!

OzSpen, running away is cowardly.

The bible is nothing but a miss-mash of earlier historical works. It has no truth other than the reality it was written long after the alleged events and contains evidence of multiple sources of information demonstrating the birth of our solar system and other misrepresented scientific facts. The bible is in part based on allegorical facts relating to solar and cosmic observations, Christianity has just overlaid their mythological story and piggybacked it within the texts.

Your faith is yours, you are just so closed minded you can’t see the wood for the trees.

Here is another one for you OzSpen. The bible alleges ‘in the beginning god created the heavens and the earth’. This is just an allegory for the, as we now know it, Big Bang. The god bit is just a creation, made up by people who, like us wondered about the age old question of where we come from but did not know how to explain it scientifically.

Simple evidence your blind faith refuses to acknowledge. Back to those weird 6000 year old dinosaur bones eh!

the big bang 'scientific'. You don't have a single clue Galen.

runner,

From what Rowan wrote about the Resurrection of Jesus and whether it is history, legend, or something else, what is your understanding of the historical basis for Jesus' rising from the dead.

Since nobody witnessed the actual rising but we have documented post-resurrection appearances by Jesus in reliable NT documents, what's your view on whether this is all a legend or an allegory or whatever?

Runner you are nothing but rude, ignorant and quite obviously very poorly educated judging by your silly and bigoted posts on OLO. I hope you don’t have offspring, they would be brainwashed and as ill informed as you I would imagine.
Silly little man.
