Well, I believe unlike all of the other religions of the world, what God did with putting
together the Jewish nation and the Bible, sets the God of the Bible apart from everything
and everyone else. Any religion can produce a creation story, but how many have the
story begin then through time give a list of names that go from Adam to Jesus? What
other religion has the beginning of several other nationalities recorded, and many of
these people are alive now? You can look at things from medical advice to several other
things within scripture and find sound teachings even by modern standards. The
supernatural aside and religious practices we would do well obeying the things taught
in scripture. If we limited our sexual practices to what is written, STD would vanish, and
single parents homes would be greatly reduced, the list goes on and on.

So you are saying this "the entire universe is evidence" thing is proof only of your religion being true, and not the religions of others who think it's evidence for their belief in God?

You don't follow along well.

Why would other religions need to have such a list?

I follow along fine. Are the claims of other religions - that there is a creator God - false? If you believe that God reveals Himself through creation, why has He revealed Himself to people with religions other than your own?

"What God did with putting together the Jewish nation and the Bible, sets the God of the Bible apart from everything and everyone else."

You place a lot of store on the ancient Hebrews creating a mythology and a religion thousands of years ago and placing themselves at the centre of it.

Exactly why do you think the evidence is non-existent? The entire universe is evidence in my opinion.

I am not talking about "STDs" etc. and I am not interested in your Grampy Bobby-like circular logic where you mention things exclusive to Christianity and then cite them as evidence that Christianity is "true". This is the question: Is every religion ~ and not just yours ~ fully entitled to cite "the universe" as evidence?

Its the list and the history around them, it sets Biblical scripture apart from the rest.
If you don't care, you don't care!

If the Biblical account is true than that would mean all other accounts are not if they don't
line up with it.

Okay, whatever.

You mean, in order for a religion to be "true", it must have "the list" in its book ~ by which I mean "the list" that's present in your religion's book ~ the presence of which makes your religion "true"?

This isn't an answer. The question was: Is every religion ~ and not just yours ~ fully entitled to cite "the universe" as evidence supporting its belief in a creator?

So you do place a lot of store on the ancient Hebrews creating a mythology and a religion thousands of years ago and placing themselves at the centre of it. OK. Does the fact that ancient Hebrews created a religion and placed themselves at the centre of it make it true?

I told you what I thought set it apart, you don't agree, I don't care! If you have something
someone else has that is better bring to the discussion, beyond that you are not saying
anything here outside of you don't believe.
