Re: Metas
Because I don't find them equally implausible.
​
How did you come to this conclusion given that they are equally unsupported by evidence?
​
Brian.

Re: Metas
Evidence against can be a problem.
​
There's evidence against Jesus' exploits as well.
​
I think its obvious that humans did not emerge as described by Genesis.
​
I think it is obvious that men do not die and then come back to life three days later.
​
A simple lack of evidence for Jesus' divinity isn't going to end my faith.
​
With a little more faith you could believe in Genesis too?
​
Thanks for the replies.
​
Brian.

Nicene Creed
Hi J,
​
But they are simply statements that define what a Christian believes, they do not preclude an Atheist from being saved.
​
The point I was making was in reference to this statement from post 18:
​
According to the Bible and the Creeds, God, for us and our salvation, came down from heaven and became man. There are no restrictions on who the "us" refers to.
​
According to the Nicene Creed, God did not come down for everyone, it clearly states who the 'us' are, and it certainly isn't atheists.
​
Brian.
