It must just be me then. In fact, clowns kind of freak me out as well. Maybe I need therapy? :'(

Lol....But those drawings depict just a small touch of what the paradise will be like in the future.

Sure, the Bible is a bunch of nonsense. Just ask a Biblical acrcheologist. Its just a bunch of made up myths.

Well the story of Noah and the flood is for sure.

Interesting quote from biblical archaeologist William G.Dever Ph.D,

Archaeology as it is practiced today must be able to challenge, as well as confirm, the Bible stories. Some things described there really did happen, but others did not. The Biblical narratives about Abraham, Moses, Joshua and Solomon probably reflect some historical memories of people and places, but the 'larger than life' portraits of the Bible are unrealistic and contradicted by the archaeological evidence.

and

My view all along—and especially in the recent books—is first that the biblical narratives are indeed 'stories,' often fictional and almost always propagandistic, but that here and there they contain some valid historical information.

If you chart humanities course from the time of Adam, the Biblical account is on target. However, what you are discussing is the pre-Adam account of the six days of creation.

As for myself, I am of the opinion that this is not a literal 6 days. In addition, I think mankind became "human" only when God breathed a soul life into Adam. How God created Adam up till that point is but a mystery.

Really? Run me through that whodey.

No i'm not. I'm after evidence for the Biblical account of Adam & Eve. ie humanity has only been around for 6,000yrs or so.

Evidence Galvo. You can't use text from the Bible to prove the Bible true, it's a logical contradiction.

The Bible is true.

How come?

Ermmm......because the Bible says so.

I need a little bit more than that.

How did I know that when you wanted proof and it's shown to you from the Bible you don't accept it? I saw that coming from a mile away...

I can look it up thanks.

But that's not evidence, here's a greek mythology family tree. Does that mean greek mythology is true?

Well I have no idea what proof you want. I'd love to go to a bunch of museums to get that info you but I' just can't afford it at this moment...
But for you I'll keep looking. 🙂


PS. I can't say for sure but for WIKI to publish that info, I'm sure it was reasearched by them to make sure and get the info right. ?????

I think he is looking for birth certificates. Of course, not even Obama can produce that so I'm not sure how to convince him. 😛

Well lets see, some claimed that David was a myth, until they found archeological evidence that countered that. Many also declared the Israelite existence in Egypt a myth, until archealogical evidence said otherwise.

He may need to go see for himself to know it's truely real....

Sorry you feel resentful, i'm merely calling it as i see it.

Evidence from archaeology. Where's the evidence for the 6,000yr history of mankind as you so believe?

We'll start there, at the beginning.

i was referring to archaeological evidence which verifies biblical accounts, like the fall of Tyre, the destruction of Babylon, indeed i would like to ask you, which of these is a fairy tale as you so eloquently put it?

perhaps there is written evidence earlier than six thousand years, perhaps there are settlements older than six thousand years? indeed as it has been pointed out, it seems extraordinarily strange that humans should have been evolving for several thousand years for them suddenly to start writing things down only as recently as 3000 years ago, yes , very strange indeed that we had the capacity for thought and writing but that no one used it for almost eighty thousand or so years, strange indeed! anyway, this is a thread about who goes to heaven, for the benefit of divegeester and deucer and raj, who obviously dont know and who have called out Jesus as a liar, therefore we can fry these other fish first before we tackle these other issues?
