    Imams banned from charity event

    Persia was officially Zoroastrian, but by the time the Muslims arrived it had been majority Christian for a long time. The Afghans were never Zoroastrian to any degree. The Mideast was not mostly pagan. Some southern Arabs were, but most city dwelling Arabs and the northern tribes were...

    You might try the book One Faith by Michael Hari to help with these kinds of questions.

    Is the Bible Really True?

    Your answer is a cousin of the "no true Scotsman" fallacy. By making such statements as "no credible work is focused there at all," you simply make your own evaluation of the credibility of the work the arbiter of its existence. Its fallacious, and therefore impossible to answer.

    Is the Bible Really True?

    I didn't re-post your reply concerning the evidence for the Exodus and the destruction of Ai and Jericho because of its length, but I will try to answer it. Those three events are very hard to date. There are people who disagree as to the dating by as much as 1,000 years. Also, the actual...

    Imams banned from charity event

    Have you studied the history of Islam? ISIS is the Rashidun caliphate, basically. This Karen Armstrong version of Islam is make believe. North Africa, the Mideast, Egypt, Persian, North Arabia, and Afghanistan were Christian until they came slaughtering out of Arabia. Do you know where the...

    The world in general is getting more religious, and more religiously conservative.

    Big Bang, Deflated? Universe May Have Had No Beginning

    This is grasping at straws to try to save the idea of an infinite universe. It's worse than Hawkings pluggin in imaginary numbers.

    Is the Bible Really True?

    Skeptics have been losing ground for a long time, practically since the higher criticism began. All their predictions regarding texts have been shown to be false. Earlier NT texts do not differ from later ones. Earlier ones do not lack the supernatural accounts of later ones. Archaeology has...

    Which Religions Will Die Out?

    I just realized I didn't finish answering your question. There are only about 53 million people in England, which makes it a pretty tiny part of the West. Christianity is doing quite well in the West outside of Europe.

    Which Religions Will Die Out?

    European Christianity is a little bit of an anomaly, but there are two problems with that data. One of them is that Europeans as a race are shrinking in population, even in Europe--while unborn Europeans are being replaced by foreigners. In addition, there is a tremendous rise in conservative...

    Imams banned from charity event

    I think in addition to the Imams that they denied access to, they should deport the ones that are already in the Netherlands. From then on, if they catch any in the country they should hang them.

    Is the Bible Really True?

    The camel was not "introduced." It was domesticated. It probably took place in different places at different times, and was no doubt rare for a very long time after it was first domesticated. All archaeology can tell us is when it became common, not when it first happened. We wouldn't expect...

    Is the Bible Really True?

    I'd like to see scientific proof that Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation. You don't use science to answer these kinds of questions. You use history.

    Which Religions Will Die Out?

    That was called the desecularization hypothesis, it was discredited beginning in the early 1970's and has been toast since the late 1990's. Students of the sociology of religion have documented the desecularization of the world extensively since then. The world is becoming more conservative...

    Which Religions Will Die Out?

    #1. There is no evidence that people are leaving Christianity in the West. #2. Your statistics regarding Islam don't mean what you think they do. In order to become an increasingly percentage of the world's population Islam only has to keep pace with population growth. Since secular...
