Good grief!!! Some of you guys need to chill out about being offended by this!!! It's not like the title of the thread is " Pretty Cool Website You Need to Read it or Burn in Hell!" Give a guy a break! Move on.

This is a classic "straw man" diversion you have going here. I say I am not proud of the lack of intellect displayed by making the case that there is more evidence for God than the moon landing, and you insinuate I'm racist and elitist.

Do YOU think there is tangible proof of God, more so than landing on the moon?

On second thought, don't answer that.

So you have to have tangible proof to believe in the validity of something?

There are more writings from differing authors on a man named Jesus than there is a guy named Alexander the Great. Yet no one has any problem identifying Alexander as having been alive and his life story be validated.

That last paragraph is just perspective -- not directly linked to the first sentence.

One just for you! This is the only one i'll post so I don't get the boot!

Jesus descended from which son of David?

(a) Solomon (Matthew 1:6)
(b) Nathan (Luke 3:31)

If you don't believe me...look it up in the Bible!! If you want more PM me and I can give you pages of text along with the verses to back them up!

That's not contradiction -- that's mere ignorance. Luke 3 gives a bloodline from the descendants up until Joseph. Matthew gives a bloodline through Mary.

I guarantee you that Yahweh, Muhammad, Buddha, and Confucius have as much to do with football as Jesus does

Certainly not. But there is no tangible proof there is a god, yet the site said there was more than there is for the moon landIng. That isn't true at all.

I would agree that there is no tangible evidence, as the biblical God isn't physical. May I ask where you saw the moon landing reference? Although I didn't look very hard, I didn't see it.

If people get offended, why not just move on? BTW, who is being proselytized? Proselytize means to convert to another faith or religion. Do we have converts from this forum? THAT WOULD BE EPIC!

Yea, that's not one. That's the result of looking for contradictions in a text written in a specific historical and cultural context with no concern for that context (in this example their specific genealogical practices). But hey, it's certainly more convenient to ignore those considerations if it helps make your point. Don't you think if it was really that simple that belief in the inerrancy of the Bible would have been abandoned a long time ago?

Double standard with Christians.

I don't see how the issue of open-mindedness even enters the discussion. The issue is objective Truth. Christians use a set of criterion which they believe to be useful in ascertaining truth, and come to Christian beliefs, which they then follow to their logical conclusions (which includes a belief in the exclusivity of Christianity, and therefore a desire to proselytize); non-Christians use a set of criterion which they believe to be useful in ascertaining truth and come to non-Christian beliefs which they generally follow to their logical conclusions (like "not being a fan of that stuff".) People are free to believe either way, but they shouldn't be forced to back off the logical conclusions of their beliefs for the sake of "open-mindedness". If you think the belief is wrong, that's another issue.

Click on the "beyond the ultimate" button at the top of the page, and look under, "Is there a God?"

That whole section is the bastardization and cherry-picking of science to fit the argument of the necessity of a creator based on the complexity of nature-- which isn't consistent with the scientific process. Had we just accepted that sort of answer, we never would have learned about the very things listed as "evidence" in the first place.

Agreed. I am free to make a comment, just as much as the OP was free to start the thread I am commenting in. I just thought it was funny that I was labeled as "closed minded" for not getting in lock-step with the majority's view.
