2.) Historical evidence for the honest to goodness, actually happened resurrection of Jesus Christ (see Josh McDowell or Lee Stroebel books for a detailed explanation if you so desire).
Where is the historical evidence?

oh and darwin was proven wrong long ago.
Oh really by what and by who?
KJV Gen 1:30 writes:
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Where doe the above passage mention anything that could be inferred that anythig about evolution is true or false? There is nothing inthe passage that has anything to do with evolution.

cherry picking/
How is pointing out that your passage doesn't reflect what you said it does. What do you think? Do you think we Atheists don't own and read the Bible? If you post somethig, be prepared for someone to comment on it.

one chooses the biblical accounts over all the rest because it is the only true ones out there and they do so by FAITH.
Which shows that it may be truth to you, but it does not make it true to all. Your faith is not shared by all. You, like me, may have been indoctrinated into Christianity as a young child, but some of us chose to investigate the stories and draw conclusions from the stories and any evidence for or against, not from some person telling me what the story says.

Re: To everybody else...
NOW in answer to the thread question: we prefer the Biblical account over other religion's simply because it is the truth.
What is your source that shows that your Biblical account is the truth?
Why is your mythology better than say the Egyption, Roman, Norse or Greek?

Re: And God said
The Bible which you say is not "valid" seems spot on to me. How bout you? Do you see pear trees producing apple trees?
You obviously know nothing about either natural selection or punctuated equilibrium. In neither would pear trees produce apple trees, that is just as ridiculous as the crocoduck.

Re: And God said
No just that the creo's don't understand evolution. Genus A doesn't change to genus B, even in the same family. Even Punctuated equilibrium takes a number of generations, just less that natural selection.

Re: And God said
most creation stories steal from the bible.
As if the Bible didn't steal from other sources. The spoken word creation stories Ie: genesis came later that the first of the Spoken word creation story, that of the Sumerians.
One only has to look at where Sumeria was, the lower part of Mesopotamia, the area later taken by the Babylonians, who had the land at the time Abraham left Ur and eventually wound up in Canaan. Logically he would have taken the account with him. As with any story, it changes over time do to human input. The stories may not totally jive, but the the base is the same. This can also be seen in the differences in Genesis 1 (Priestly) and Genesis 2 (Jahwist).

Re: And God said
The Hebrew nation does not exist, never did. What was , was the nation, of Israel and that splintered into Israel & Judah. and only lasted for a short time before Israel was over run by the Assyrians & Judah was over run by the Chaldeans. Whether the manuscripts are reliable or not is moot. There is no evidence to back it up.

Re: Who really rose again?
There is a lot more evidence that Jesus rose from the dead than kaang who was vomited up by a ogre.
Really? Lets see that evidence, so it can be peer reviewed.
