It bears no resemblance to the original Hebrew text so 'many times' is the only answer.

Re: The existence of God
 

Yes. are the answers you have right to you?

Re: The existence of God
 

It bears no resemblance because it's now a different language. It was translated in to Latin and English. The Dead Sea Scrolls proved the translation we have today is just about spot-on. Is that what you're calling 'many times'?

In which case as an atheist you'll never find an answer that satisfyies you.

Yes, they make sense and get bourne out from other sources too.

Re: The existence of God
 

Can you take me off the door to door list then? :D

The September Clues make sense too. do you believe that? :)

Re: The existence of God
 

september ? give us mere mortals a clue -whats that about?

Re: The existence of God
 

You'll have to speak to them then, I don't know anyone who goes door knocking.

I've not seen it but I'd prefer it if you kept things on topic.

The conspiracy about 9/11 and that it wasn't terrorists that blew the towers up, but missiles.

If you believe it or not. it's really interesting to watch :)

Sorry Russ. I couldn't think of an example about what you said about making sense.

Re: The existence of God
 

Ever get the feeling liquid is being extracted from you, time and time, and time and time again?

Gary L, Russ has provide reading for you about God.

No one can give you the right answer, you have to come up with that on your own.

Re: The existence of God
 

I'm trying to ignore you.
You are still not reading the thread properly. get rid of the blindfold :)

Re: The existence of God
 

In which way am I not reading properly?

Re: The existence of God
 

People 'needed' an explanation as to their existence and surroundings, for hundreds of years the Bible gave the comfort and hope.

With our current knowledge of science, the whole idea of the existence of God, or all religions for that matter has been discredited as illogical and impossible. Some of the 'stories' in the bible are just laughable and completely defy the laws of physics.

I was brought up as a Methodist and I strongly agree with the 'Morals' that the bible teaches... I just couldn't believe in talking snakes.

Re: The existence of God
 

By who, the Christian scientists, doctors, scholars etc?

...which is what a miracle is supposed to do otherwise it's no longer a miracle....

Re: The existence of God
 

No .... 'proper' scientists. Not those Creationist loonies who go out hunting for a mile long wooden boats on tops of mountains.

Re: The existence of God
 

In which case I'm sure it'll surprise you to find out that there are many 'proper' scientists who are Christians, unless of course your definition of 'proper' is "atheist" in which case you should have said so.

Isaac Newton? Heard of him? Christian.

One of CF's members is a doctor and also a Christian.

Re: The existence of God
 

But I think this is what makes people find it not credible. calling something a miracle as a justification for something that would be seen today as laughable.

it's like a talking sheep :)

Russ the world is full of cranks. be they atheists or not. do you believe that some believers can be these kind of people?
this is not meant in anyway to be disrespectful to anyone, but do believers know that these people possibly don't even know the true cause of their belief?
