IamJoseph responds to me:
quote:
I believe the pyramids are older than 5000 years and these contain earlier writing modes.
Well, no, they're not, but that's beside the point (and if they are, there goes the global flood...there's no flood damage to the pyramids.) Hebrew is alphabetic.
quote:
He is mentioned in a relic 100 years after his death.
No, he's not.
Hint: This is where you mention the item you are referring to. I'm pretty sure I know which one you mean, but you have to go first. You're the one making the claim.
quote:
Are you saying David is a myth?
I'm saying we have no real evidence for his existence. That doesn't mean he didn't exist, but he certainly didn't the way you think he did.
quote:
Life started in water; next up is air borne life.
But the Bible has it the other way around: Airborne life is described as coming first when it was the other way around. It also describes terrestrial plants coming first and that's even more ass backwards.
quote:
You have no proof of your claim
Nice try, but you're the one with the burden of proof. I don't have to prove that 2 + 2 = 4 in order to show that they don't equal 5. It would certainly be nice, but it isn't a requirement.
Since the Bible's description of the order of creation is not in agreement with the way life actually progressed, it is your burden to describe how they can be reconciled since you are the one claiming they can.
quote:
Does this apply also to a temple which was destroyed, listed in numerous books made before this date!?
Except there aren't any such references. This would be where you lay your cards on the table. You're the one making the claim. You're the one who needs to prove it.
quote:
We do need to learn it - it is indispensible: a host of primodial factors depend on it, and these are not found anywhere else.
The identical case exists for the Iliad and the Odyssey. Why do you accept the divine claims of one set of books and not another?
quote:
The origins of three religions depend on Abraham and Moses being credible entities else they fall in a heap
Why does that matter? Are you saying that if a lot of people believe in a dumb thing, that makes it not a dumb thing?
quote:
Genesis stands in the face of all notions of human history as a yard stick
Indeed.
And it fails to measure up. This would be where you provide your evidence that it does as you're the one making the claim.
quote:
significantly, we have no 'name' older than Adam
The Hindu would have something to say about that, seeing as how it's older than Judaism and its writings predate the Bible.
And by the way: "Adam" isn't a name.
quote:
the first 'king' is listed here as well as the first human cencus.
Except they're not.
quote:
Ancient names listed in the geneologies in Genesis are today used by archeology to verifiy dates.
No, not really. A couple, but only because we were able to validate their existence outside of the Bible.
quote:
There is no other writings more important or offers more to learn from: name one?
I've named two and hinted at a third source. Have you read them?
