    Yes Scientology. The Bible actually has documented historical figures. There is nothing fictional about the people explained in the Bible. As Historians agree; there is more historical evidence that Jesus Christ Existed than all other Historical figures since 200AD

    I was aware of using lasers to "create" matter from nothing. I'm not aware that the Law of energy conservation can be broken.

    Which proves conclusively that it was, in fact, written by people who were alive a long time ago. And nothing more.

    I don't understand why Biblical scientists get so excited when something written about in the Bible turns out to have been based on history. Even the staunchest of atheists generally don't deny the historical value of religious texts! But making reference to some actual historical events doesn't establish the truth of all of a text. A newspaper may be spot-on in it's daily weather report, but that doesn't mean I take everything else it contains as gospel. No pun intended.

    It's but one of many collaborating evidences you can find for biblical Christianity, it's by no means is meant to be a knock-down argument or something. I'm just saying the facts and evidence are there for those who sincerely look for it.

    I get as excited as reading other history books. But you must be impressed that a bunch of sheephearders were able to write historical data of places thousands of miles and hundreds of years away

    You are confused. There are no matter of fact equations. That's the kind if straw man crowTrobot already pointed out.

    The evidence along with Reason along with many others seeing the same evidence and their Reason affirms it all. No evidence of a creator. Evidence of a Big Bang. Our best understanding of the observable is no singularity.

    Of course I'm not saying that. In fact, I have started a religion based on him. Want to join?

    If you're talking about so-called Biblical predictions, I think that's better evidence of confirmation bias than of magical sheepherder powers. You can find seemingly valid predictions in any text if you look hard enough.

    It all depends on what your philosophical presuppositions are. If you believe in the God of the Bible, then everything in the Bible can be believed miracle wise and as far as preservation goes.

    Oh man... I'm in.

    I remember always wishing that we got salsa to go with those wafers rather than wine. Those things could be pretty tasty with the right condiments! And then I would feel super guilty for wishing that Jesus came with salsa.

    So E=MC2 is not matter of fact? So the SQ= T dS is not a matter of fact? So the laws of science aren't "a matter of fact"?

    No I am not talking about the miracles. I am talking about actual events that took place in locations thousands of miles away and hundreds of years before it was written.
