The Historical Jesus: Did He Create the Universe?

Tanypteryx wrote: "Jesus is fictional....."“I say unequivocally that the evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is so overwhelming that it compels acceptance by proof which leaves absolutely no room for doubt.” – Sir Lionel Luckhoo, The Most Successful Attorney in History, according to the Guiness Book of RecordsSimon Greenleaf – professor of law at Harvard in the 1800s
His three-volume work, A Treatise on the Law of Evidence, has been considered by The Supreme Court to be the greatest single authority on legal evidence.He said, “If the evidence for the resurrection was set before any unbiased courtroom in the world it would be judged to be an historical fact - Jesus Christ rose from the dead.”There remains, therefore, no supposition possible to explain the recorded phenomenon except the combination of the fructification and rupture of the heart. - Samuel Houghton, M.D., great physiologist from the University of Dublin

We are told on eyewitness authority that “blood and water” came out of the pierced side of Jesus. The eyewitness clearly attached great importance to this.

This is evidence of massive clotting of the blood in the main arteries, and is exceptionally strong medical proof of death. It is all the more impressive because the evangelist could not possibly have realized its significance to a pathologist. the “blood and water” from the spear-thrust is proof positive that Jesus was already dead. - Michael Green [The New Evidence That Demands a Verdict, pages 224-225]Attorneys are experts in the analysis of evidence. Atheists summarily reject any and all evidence contrary to atheist nihilism.

"Mock them! Ridicule them (Christians)! With contempt!" - Richard DawkinsThere is NOTHING that atheists do more often than mock, ridicule, and speak in the most hateful, condescending terms possible. Nothing.This is your brand of "rationality" and "intellectualism."
You should be ashamed of your contemptible actions, but you never are and never will be.Quotations by famous people are frequently cited everywhere, without noting the source. If you are so interested in the source, look it up yourself. Don't be so lazy and demanding.
I took nothing from any Ravi Zacharias book. You make foolish assumptions and then attribute your nonsense to me - a common practice of atheists and Leftists.

You referred to Christopher Hitchens, a very vocal atheist who.... left his pregnant wife, and betrayed his close friend. Nice. How "moral" and "ethical".Then there is Ernest Hemingway: "Every thinking man is an atheist."
He put a shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger so that his third wife would find his brains all over their Idaho residence.How "thoughtful" of Ernie.Richard Dawkins of "Ridicule them (Christians)! Mock them! With contempt!"
His large American audience cheered and applauded in a very "intellectual" and "rational" manner, of which you would surely approve.Dawkins had one child, a daughter, demonstrating his failure of the Darwinian Imperative he holds so very close to his hateful heart. In comparison, Osama bin Laden had two dozen or more children.A graph of per capita income by country versus fertility rate shows the poorest have the most children. Dawkins loses again.A different graph of the least educated by country versus fertility rate.... can you guess what that shows? RIGHT! Dawkins and Darwin lose yet again, going down to miserable failure of "the fittest" surviving.Slums are the fastest growing human habitat in the world with some 23% of humanity living in them.Darwin was dead wrong for many reasons, all of which you reject for reasons you create and modify to suit your goddless agenda.Incidentally, as Professor John Lennox says, "I don't believe in the god you don't believe in."<link removed>
