    It's not a valid source because a resurrection and post mortem appearances are not the same as establishing natural occurring events. Again, as I've said many times, not all claims are created equal. Reports of someone being shot, are not the same as reports of ghosts. Are you gonna answer the...

    Survival

    You're not getting it. I really don't care if they were written during Jesus' life. It's not a valid source to determine the miraculous aspect of the text. It might be good for establishing certain events, but not miraculous events. And if you took a few minutes to think about what other...

    As I said the writing were done anonymously. And as you just said yourself the early church fathers attributed the names to the writings. That doesn't seem like a very accurate way of determining the actual authors. I'm not determining that they weren't eyewitnesses, the experts in the field...

    Survival

    Well, considering that I'm sure the authors didn't write the text the minute after they were born. About fifty or so years after the events is somewhat accurate. Given that perhaps they were born 20 years after, they probably didn't write it down till they were about 25 or 30 years of age. That...

    Being a christian, you do realize that the names attributed to the authors was done somewhere around the 2nd and 3rd century. We have no clue of the actual names of the authors, because the writings were done anonymously. Secondly, it's widely accepted that none of the authors were actual...

    You don't have to be somewhere to establish that certain events took place. You need reasonable evidence for the claim. That being said, not all claims are created equal. The claim that Lincoln was shot in Ford's theatre, is not on equal footing as the claim that a man named Jesus was a god or...

    How is the historicity of Jesus in any way tied to the claims of miracles about him? I mean I believe George Washington existed, but I don't believe he chopped down a cherry tree, or that he never told a lie. The historicity of an individual is not a confirmation of the outlandish claims...

    It wouldn't matter if you had a thousand documents dating from that period (which you don't), textual evidence is not enough to support the claims offered by that book. I mean there are people you can talk to today, and get first hand reports from, who claim to have been abducted by aliens, and...

    Dawkins interview

    I'm not sure what "issues" your referring to about atheism. But, I tend to agree, Dawkins is a little over the top, and some of his arguments seem rather childish. But you have to remember, he's been doing this forever, and he might be a little sick of addressing the same claims and arguments...

    Do you have Hume’s Syndrome?

    If you're arguming that it can't be explained by a measurable manifestation, then by what other process can we use to determine that the thing actually exists? And are you claiming that it exists? If so, how are you defining existence?

    INDISPUTABLE Rational Proof That God Exists (Or Existed)

    Ok, please don't use an argument that is clearly false, that was my only point.

    INDISPUTABLE Rational Proof That God Exists (Or Existed)

    So, a 79 year old man who dies of missing limbs, weak heart, one kidney, cancer and diabetes while a healthy 22 year old lives is evidence that a god doesn't exist? Going by your logical train of thought this should be a true statement. By the way, life is evidence of life, not how it got here.

    Why does my God allow children to die? Is he evil?

    Treating others with a sense of decency and humanity regardless of whether or not they believe in a deity. Thats a moral standard that you do not find the God of the bible endorsing. Also, do not own another human being as property and beat him or her, thats another one that would have made the...

    There is no evidence for a god.

    Well, what you personally think is irrelevant to what actually is.

    Christianity & Atheism

    Atheists don't believe that any god exists, not just jesus.
