Research findings is different from silly unprovable theories and speculations. One day, Samuel will have sense in Jesus name.
"the discovery proves the ancient city of Jerusalem was surrounded by an impressive, fortified wall." They unearthed material in square meters. No need for private propaganda. When you unearth a bone, no one has a problem with it.The problem arises when you begin to scope us that this tiny bone is 70million years old, it's best food was bread and tea and it died of herdsman crises. Receive sense dear.

Learn about Scientific Method of research,
How scientific theories and findings (peer review etc) are approved and also learn about critical thinking.

...but,you would have believed if stone age goat herders,like the ones who wrote your bible,had told you so undecided
"Okay, so the name "science" makes it logical"– Go check out what science entails.
A myriad of methods exists which they use in dating these fossils e.g radiometric dating.

Nope, you are equivocating. Stand well well and explain logically how a piece of bone is found to be 70million years, loved bread and tea and was killed by herdmen. Is it dating that says all these? Can you logically explain how?

When the research challenges their belief, they call it lies. But when it aligns, they agree that it's true. These are the same archeologists you people call liars o. Make una tell una sef the truth for once.

Thanks for saying this!

Before I opened the thread, I knew a bunch of people would be here saying this is proof of God and Jesus.

But this same set of people would quickly call bullshit on discoveries of paleontologists — because it counters their belief.

Nor be juju be that?

The critics can always multi-task. We bash religion, then we praise tech. Religion doesn't get a free pass.

The damage it has done far outweighs its advantages. It'll and will always be the scapegoat for backwardness. You can't even come out as an atheist in some countries without losing your life.

There's nothing woke about this.
You believe in a god, I don't. Don't misuse that word "woke". If the adherents of religion will keep using their beliefs as a stumbling block in many areas of life, then I guess it deserves its critics.

Finally, you can't tell someone to disprove what you can't and haven't proved yourself. It's like asking you to prove that the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist. The burden of proof is on you who is making the claim of existence.

Praising tech is crap , building it is what's necessary. I won't call that multi tasking, just woke antics.

Religion hasn't caused more harm, it's the bedrock for science and western/ Mediterranean civilization. The tech you talk about has roots in religion.

Atheism is a fool's errand, an excise in futility, complete emptiness. How does people's beliefs in deities affect your ability to build meaningful technology?

There's no burden of proof on my part, as no one is forcing you to believe, it's you forcing others to acknowledge the non existence of God, that must provide evidence.

Trust me, you don't have the iq to disprove that God doesn't exist despite whatever articles/ talk's you may have studied

Anti religion is the new woke for lazy educated Africans who can't build, discover shit on there own and now looking for scapegoats (religion) to blame.

There is no up or down in space.
What you call Up and Down is a function of gravity.
If something goes against gravity, it goes up.
If it goes towards gravity, it goes down.
Hypothetically if you create a device that can create gravitational force and carry it to space, if it attracts something, that thing is going down

Yet fools still doubt/reject the veracity of the bible. They would continue to doubt even if the Almighty Himself appeared to them from heaven. They would hide under some foolish scientific theories. This is why they're condemned; they refuse to accept the truth (John 3:18-19). Nothing more can be done for those who refuse to believe.

It couldn't occur to you that they're the last of people who should be oblivious to the knowledge of how bodies decay–something which is even apparent to the layman–and hence do further research to gain better understanding for their reasons,rather than automatically jumping into such conclusions.

That is the beauty of science , what is seen as truth today may be said to be false tomorrow . read Jean Lamarck's and Charles Darwin's beliefs on evolution of life as well as the theory of spontaneous generation.

Let me repeat, you don't have the iq to disprove the existence of God.

Like I said woke antics, all leftists ideology, egalitarian nonesense that has no bearings with the real world and you can't differentiate between capitalism, morality and it's affects, evolution and religion, and how everything intersects.

There are good reasons why religion is fear based, there are also reasons for why it's become capitalist and extreme in places like Africa where iq is generally low.

Bottom line, it's not the religion, it's the iq, the same level of understanding that marred religion, is the same reason why you egalitarian lefiists wannabes would always get it wrong.

An intelligent man would never boldly subscribe to a philosophy he can't back up with fact's and data , if there's no way to disprove the existence of God, then it's best to keep an open mind until more data is available.

The bible was overtly exaggerated. The narrative structure is in such context that it either over emphasised or deemphasized.
Now I'm not saying it's false but In new light modern facts such as these archeological find show that even though the events can be corroborated they are easily not 100% factual. So therefore using the bible as the only reference for history is a big mistake.
Even as a religious text for doctrine the Bible is open to multiple interpretations.
More things will be uncovered by gods grace.

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free indeed. You may believe to have a point which your honest opinion. But believe me, the Bible is not just a book, but the word of God. Remember, none of the word of God shall go unfulfilled.

For those who are obsessed with erecting gargantuan places of worship here on Earth in the name of God, thinking that it meant anything to God, and the advancement of His Kingdom here on Earth, the instance of the first temple built by king Solomon could teach them a lesson or two, on the value God places on such things.

If they only knew how much time, effort and resources went into the construction of the temple Solomon built for God, and how much details was involved. Some estimate the cost of the building to be in the region 20 billion dollars in today's currency value when inflation and other parameters were factored in. Yet when the hearts of the people of Israel were turned against God, and they had begun to work abominations and went contrary to His ways, He didn't hesitate to send men who would raze the impressive building down among other things, to prove what was more important to Him.

This was even before the coming of Jesus when God yet literally dwelt in a temple built with men's hands, to show that such structures no matter how impressive and valuable were secondary to God. And that the most important thing to Him is the heart of a man, which was the basis of house that Jesus built for Him without men's hands.

Hence when the disciples who were impressed themselves, showed Him how impressive the building and stones of the temple were, He told them that not one stone would be left on top of the other that would not be thrown down, to change their orientation towards such things, so they'd also know the value God places on such. And that what was more important to God was not such houses built with men's hands, no matter how impressive, but the heart of a man, where He now dwells. Matthew 13:1-2.

Hence that's what they should focus on and try to make as impressive as possible, and a befitting place for God to dwell.

God bless.
do you really think Solomon's temple is a literal temple?
What kind of temple can someone build that "no hammer was heard"?
Maybe he was talking of a social order.
Maybe that's why freemasons claim that Solomon is their member

No dear.
We don't live in a Galaxy with 7 or 9 planets.
We live in a solar system with 1 Star(our Sun) , and 9 identifiable planets. Our solar system lies in the far edges of the Milky Way Galaxy, which has about 100 billion Stars.

And secondly, the Earth is not floating in Space, it simply occupies space, just like the moon, the Sun and the other 100 billion Stars in our Galaxy System.
And No, the Earth has no place to fall off to. Without gravity, there is no up or down, therefore no issue of falling off anything.
