    The Bible And Science: Pi (Take 2)

    It is often suggested, among unbelievers, that the writers of the Bible at 1 Kings 7:23 and 2 Chronicles 4:2, where the molten sea, which is circular, in the courtyard of Solomon's temple, was, in fact, ten cubits from the brim to brim and "it took a line of thirty cubits to circle all around...

    The Bible And Science: Prenatal Influence

    The Bible, unlike what the typical uninformed baseless speculation of the atheist Bible critic suggests, doesn't promote the idea of prenatal influence or as it is sometimes called, maternal impressions. Lets look at Genesis 30:37-43. Jacob wanted to leave his father in law Laban's service...

    The Bible And Science: Bats And Birds

    Many Bible critics will often make the incorrect assumption that the Bible confuses bats with being birds, and this is not the case. The reasoning behind this incorrect assumption is due to a misunderstanding of Leviticus 11:13-20. We are talking about the implication that science minded...

    The Bible And Science: Insects

    The Bible critic will sometimes make the uninformed claim that the Bible isn't scientific because it says that insects have four legs. Leviticus 11:20-23 - Every winged swarming creature that goes on all fours is a loathsome thing to you. Only this is what you may eat of all the winged...

    Looking For A Smart Atheist

    So, uh . . . as it turns out, I'm looking for a smart open minded atheist to devote . . . probably a few minutes a day, to a consideration - a test of sorts - of the Bible. Difficult. Very difficult. Because what I mean by open minded is that the atheist has to be able to see the Bible without...

    31 Fallacies In 8 Minutes

    Recently I made my aversion to using terminology in argument and debate. It isn't that I don't acknowledge these terms, it's just that when you overcompensate by using many terms in a debate or argument it isn't really good debate. This is for a variety of reasons, some of which are actually...

    Blank On Blank

    I just discovered Blank On Blank, an animated video interview You Tube channel (Link) It's interesting that the interviews I found most interesting were by the artists I wasn't particularly interested in in general. I'm not an admirer of these artists, but the interviews are cool. They also...

    Bruce Is Sleeping

    I just had to post this video. It's the funniest thing I've seen in a long time. In context, Joe started off talking about being surrounded by women. His wife and two daughters.

    Inconsistent Bible Criticisms

    Have you ever noticed inconsistencies in criticisms of the Bible? For example, who wrote the Bible, primitive goat herders or priests and scholars in Babylonian exile? Given either one of those possibilities was it written to control people who were long dead or was it written as an sort of...

    When Was The Universe Created?

    The Bible doesn't say. At Genesis 1:1 the heavens and earth were complete, and after an apparent pause for an indeterminate period of time the 6 creative "days" or epochs, each also taking an indeterminate period of time were complete. The seventh day, one of rest, which began after the end of...

    Who Created The Heavens And Earth?

    The Skeptic's Annotated Bible uses Genesis 1:1; Isaiah 44:24 in reference to God the Father creating the heavens and earth by himself. They use John 1:6-10 in reference for Jesus having done it, and 1 Corinthians 8:6 for both of them having done it. They are all correct. Without Jehovah, the...

    When Was Heaven Created?

    A response to the Skeptic's Annotated Bible When Was Heaven Created? The Hebrew perfect state of bara (created), at Genesis 1:1, indicates without a doubt that the heavens and earth were complete at that time. The creative "days" that followed were periods of time when the completed heavens and...

    Two Creation Accounts?

    Why the contradiction in the two creation accounts of Genesis 1:1-4:26? The two creation accounts are given in different order, but that doesn't make them contradictory. The first account is a chronological account (Genesis 1:1-2:4) and the second account is a topical account. (Genesis...

    Prodigal Son

    The Prodigal Son . . . a great song by the Rolling Stones. I used to listen to the entire stones catalog back in the '80's and years later I just rediscovered how freakin' awesome that music was. I hadn't heard it for years. These videos are creative in that they include the lyrics in the style...

    Atheist Poll (Judgment Day)

    According to my understanding of the Bible, believers are judged in this life, so judgement day isn't for them. Judgement day is also not for the unbelievers because they are, like Christians, judged in this lifetime. Judgement day is a period of time when the unrighteous are resurrected in...

    Christian Poll (Armageddon)

    Some Jehovah's Witnesses were once having a good conversation with a Christian who was a decorated army person. A general I think, but I'm not sure. The discussion turned sour when the Witnesses mentioned Armageddon and Jehovah of Armies fighting against all of the nations in order to establish...

    Favorite Scene In A Movie

    Though the movie itself wasn't my cup of tea, I could barely watch all of it, my favorite scene of all time in a movie would be the scene below with Michael Caine and Sandra Bullock. Half masticated cow rolling around in your wide open trap.
