Re: Best Positive Evidence
Just fine, thanks; and yourself?
I am very well thanks.
Last I knew you finally got bored with the Fundies and took a leave of absence?
Fundies, biased mods, and over-moderation were the factors.
But I am only back until Monday, then I am off to Spain for a week, come back for a few days then off on a dig for a week (unrelated to the Bible), then back for a few days before starting work again. So, I'll be going inactive again on Monday until probably xmas time.
also see that you are still saying there is no evidence in reality supporting the Octateuch.
Well, not quite. I am saying that the evidence isn't as blatant as Joseph seems to think it is, and that a lot has been falsified by archaeology. But the poor guy has problems reading.
This means that you are still an Atheist, correct?
Can't imagine being anything else, unless I see Jesus coming over the horizon as I take my last breath then I'll believe in my heart etc. I just hope He hasnt shaved the beard off or I may mistake Him for someone else!
Would you like to see some evidence of Abraham or Hebrews in Egypt? Let me know?
I don't really have much spare time, but if you want to chat my new addy is bj25 at le.ac.uk, my Glasgow Uni addy is still active at the moment but is due to be archived very soon.
Take care of yourself and good luck with your project.
Brian.

Re: What's the connection? (back to the topic?)
Not all deists believe in creation though.

Re: Best Positive Evidence
Do you have good evidence that 5000 years ago people could live to almost a thousand years of age?

Re: Best Positive Evidence
Yes, are you familiar with the book of Genesis?
I am familiar with it yes. Do you have any evidence to support the claim in the Book of Genesis that people could live to nearly one thousand years of age?
To save the dance, what external evidence do you have that the Book of Genesis is correct here.
That there's 155 unidentified Palestinian cities engraved on my ass has nothing to do with what I asked.

No evidence then, just like the rest of the thread?
There is external evidence that corroborates but I am not "fluent" in presenting it.
Well I am aware of a great deal that contradicts it, so we will have to say at the moment you have no external evidence to support Genesis' claim here.
We know there was a canopy over the Earth which shielded harmful sun rays and enabled ancient men to live very long.
Okay, so what's your evidence for this canopy and what is the evidence that ancient men lived very long lives? Do you have any human remains that support your claim?
But my point in the other post was that, like Karnak, the recording of information is so that it is not lost.
The recording of fairy tales is done for the same reason, doesnt mean they are true though.
We know that at least 17 out of 155 cities have been identified. Nobody would doubt the existence of the others,
I think it is a very poor scholar who would jump to that conclusion, given that we know the ancients sometimes exaggerated a great deal.
why would anyone doubt Genesis based on the same formula?
It is called critical research.
Do you think if one thing in a book is shown to be correct that this automatically means everything in that book is correct?
Brian.
