Before christianity .....hence ( before christ).   God made a promise to Abraham to make his family line, the one that would give birth to the savoir Jesus Christ.
This started the Jewish religion ( as accounted by Moses).   They had very detailed and burdensome laws to live by though.   This was the price for them to pay to be Gods chosen people.

This was called the Mosaic law. Not just 10 comandments, but hundreds.  The local jewish scholars were called Pharisee's and Saducee's. They added huge amounts of more details that were not required.

Hence when Jesus ( Gods son )  finally got here.  The mosaic law was really messed up and Jesus taught that he was the new law.  Matt 5:17.     It was shocking to the jews that Jesus was healing people on sabbath days.  He was eating with prostitutes and lepers.  The Jews hated him, they were pompous and self-rightous.

True christianity was born, but less tha 100yrs after he died, pagan beliefs started entering the church again.      But the truth is still out there. ;)

I'd like someone to scientifically prove the events of the bible(WITHOUT USING THE BIBLE). Scientifically prove everything happened in the bible without once referencing the bible. Prove Genesis,Exodus,Ect..ect without using the bible. But using science and history.

 ???  wait   ???

how do you prove the events of the Bible without actually using the Bible?  in other words, are you making a point to say, "if you take away the Bible, nothing really happened."  Is this what you're asking, JA?

I'm saying the bible is just an old book. You can't use the bible to confirm the bible,That's circular reasoning. I'm asking for confirmation of the events in the bible without refrencing the bible as evidence of the bible.

Prove the events in the bible scientifically and historically. Without ever saying "Becuase the bible says so!".

Toxy,

War-Horse's post is great...here's an even shorter explanation of the difference:

 Jews (in gen) don't believe Jesus was/is the Messiah.  Christians do.

And like War-Horse said, thanks for being respectful and wanting to learn stuff :)




I've got a lot of questions for haidar and Dan-O.....but I'll start threads on those later...got to get to the gym...

"Circular reasoning" is using a claim as evidence of a claim.

The claim is the bible is true. Claming the bible is true based on the bible being true is a circular claim.

You can't use the bible as evidence of the bible. It's just an old book. IF it is indeed true you should be able to establish the claims the bible makes without using the bible itself as evidence of the claims.

For instance the "Great flood". Let's forget the bible exists. The claim is there was a global flood a few thousand years ago. The goal is to prove that claim scientifically.

Well Johnny.   Science and God can work together.  Did you know the reason for the ice age and lack of fossils is explained by the suddeness of the flood in noahs day??   The temperature was different in other parts of the earth.....hence mammoths dug up with food still in their stomach.   Dinosaurs leaving remains because the weight of the soil pressed by the water was an instant package of death.

All the answers are there. Even the explanation of special enviroments it would take to fossilize.

Philisophers and astronomers were still arguing the earth was flat and told columbus he would sail off the edge as late as 1492.     The bible stated flat out that the earth was round in Genesis, Thats 3-4000 yrs later.    Also in 800 bce. Amos 5:8 described earths water cycle of evaporation from the water bodies back down to rivers and lakes, back to the sea and again.  King Solomon described it at Ecc1:7.     

Sodom and gommorah the ancient city destroyed by brimstone......has been found and scholars cant explain the charred remains....theres no volcano anywhere.    I could go on and on........

You're a damn liar "mr. intenseone". Infact i've addressed MOST of your pathetic articles. I only stopped doing it because you would not respond to what I refuted about them. You spend 5 seconds copying pasting articles written by other people, I spend 45 minutes refuting the article..Then you don't even address what I posted point by point.

Good grief, Never heard THIS one before... ::)

According to bible chronology the flood occured about 4,000 years ago. The ice age ended over 12,000 years ago! Do the math!


Lack of fossils? We have PLENTY of fossils. The reason for the fact we don't have more is because fossilization itself is rare. The process doesn't happen alot. The conditions required for fossilization are rare.

Mammoths being frozen with food in their stomach isn't a sign of some sudden catastrophe. Mammoths would of always had food in their stomach. They died with it in their stomach and then were preserved by the freezing tempeture(which they lived in).

All the answers are there. Even the explanation of special enviroments it would take to fossilize.

Philisophers and astronomers were still arguing the earth was flat and told columbus he would sail off the edge as late as 1492.     The bible stated flat out that the earth was round in Genesis, Thats 3-4000 yrs later.    Also in 800 bce.

Sodom and gommorah the ancient city destroyed by brimstone......has been found and scholars cant explain the charred remains....theres no volcano anywhere.    I could go on and on........

This is absolutely false. Do more research.

We KNEW the earth was round as far back as ancient times. The Alexandrian philosopher  Eratosthenes was the first to MEASURE the circumfrence of the earth by using shadows in wells.

Hundreds of years prior to that Aristotle argued the earth was a sphere in his writings because of the fact the shadow of the earth on the moon during an eclipse was circular(Only possible with a spherical earth). This is before the bible was even written.

Christians like to use the passage where it says the "Circile of the earth" to claim they claimed it was round. In reality the "circle of the earth" is meant to describe the horizion of the sky(Which is a circle) not the shape of the globe itself. The earth is a sphere not a "circle".
The bible claims the eart  is FLAT.
Matthew 4:8 claims jesus saw the entire world from the highest mountain.(not possible on a sphere earth)
Daniel 4:7-8 mentions a tree at the "center of the world". This also implies the earth is flat. Considering such a tree would of been impossible on a round earth.


The fact of the matter is simple..The authors of the bible would of KNOWN scientists believed in a round earth even before the bible was written(Eratosthenes,Aristotle). Yet they still made it as if the earth was flat!

More lies.

You've NEVER read them. If you had you could DEFEND THEM. Or else you wouldn't believe them in which case you would not post them.

You obviously have never read them.

You can't defend them or even argue them in your own words. I've spent years reading SCIENCE and I can defend whatever is claimed by science and can argue it in my own words. You on the other hand can't.

If you can..DO IT. Stop making up excuses.

The bible isn't a History book. It's a RELIGIOUS book.

The 7 day week has it's origins in rome not from christianity. Back then there were only 5 known planets and the astrologers decided to make a day for every known planet and the sun + the moon making 7 days.

The Bible is both a historical and religious book.  Surely you're not contending everything in the Bible is fiction? 


Re the seven-day week:  doesn't sound like science to me.  You can scientifically measure certain units of time (earth rotating around the moon, earth rotating on it's axis), but how do you scientifically measure the seven-day week?
