Who is to say that all of these biblical occurances acutally happened. Who says that the sea actually parted? It's not that before people were not testing their faith, it's that some of these things probably did not happen.

This is off topic. Please do not respond.

Jesus wasn't proof, 2000 years ago? Or parting the sea, sending angels from heaven, that kind of thing? How come present day people are subject to this "test of faith" rule, while a couple thousand years ago they weren't?
Only certain people actually witnessed those miracles, because they were chosen by the Lord. All others have either heard about the miracles by the people who witnessed them, or learned about them form reading the Bible (which is just a written account of the same thing). People back then still had to have faith, because they had no material proof of those miracles ever taking place. (Heresay doesn't count.) After ressuraction Jesus appeared only to his apostles not all the people. By the same token, maybe miracles are still happenning, we just don't know about them or refuse to accept them for what they are.

Topic!
This is an intelligent design thread. It is discussion evolution. It is not the place to start a discussion of the accuracy of the Bible.

Re: Topic!
I didn't say anything about accuracy of the Bible. I was talking about faith, which I agrue, is a vital factor in ID and science as a whole.

Re: Topic!
That might just belong in an "Is It Science" topic or "Faith and Belief". It would drag things too far afield here.
Of course, the idea of something called "faith" but not very well defined in religion, ID and science has been discussed before.
You can take you ideas and add them to a discussion or start a new one. I suggest that you stay away from such moderately difficult philosophical questions or even one that requres careful semantics. They require great care.
