And history confirms and finds materials that supports the historicity of a myth? Where did u keep ur head?
Oh my goodness can this get any boring than thishuh

This princess doesn't really know when something is classified a myth and what is not. . . History is reconstructed by archeological finds. . I think you need go check the myths you swallow and contrast them with scholarly consensus based on archeological facts. . .Maybe then we could manage to make something of you at least who can distinguish between myth and historical event.



Christendom, not xtainity honey. Hahaha

Christendom /ˈkrɪs(ə)ndəm/
noun
the worldwide body or society of Christians.

are you really sure you knew the correct usage of that word when you employed it?


Go and think the meaning of the phrase "in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth". That will clear u up
Oh oh sorry is it time to twist biblical texts already?

I think every clearly knows according to the bible "Sun, moon and stars were created on the fourth day" princess you won't do a good job trying to twist that.

this is what we get when beliefs in myths run the minds of 21st century beings and somehow you still has the ludicrous idea that you are better than egyptians over their own myths.

they obviously are far better because they believed their own myths and you believe one that is a construct of ancient middle eastern civilization

Add this one to your list of idiotic assertions alongside "The known Unknown" "They will rather explain it via scientific means"


If this is the type of lunacy it takes to be a theist, denying obvious clear explanations just to cling to already destroyed myths.

Since you don't love the truth, God let operation of error to inhabit you. You can't see that your myth above does not relate to the bible. You love lie, so you have myths.
Lmao bursted are we? grin

God Zeus impregnated a human woman Danaë and had a son Perseus (Johnydon: this is a myth... JMAN5: yes it is a myth.)

The God Zeus impregnated a human woman Alcmene and had a son Hercules (Johnydon: That is a clear myth. . . JMAN5: Of course it is myth)

The God yahweh impregnated a human woman Mary and had a son Jesus (Johnydon: That obviously like others is a myth.
JMAN5: you don't love the truth, this one is the truth of God angry)

Can bigotry get any lower? grin

The difference between us is that you disbelieve other myths and believe only the one found in your religion while i myself disbelieve both other myths and yours too





Wonderful. Care to tell? Looking for another wiki.
Hinduism remains one of the top three major religions in the world even though it is the oldest religion known to man.

I do refer you to a Hindu and ask them how their old religion survived till now smiley



And u are here saying the bible is.

You ve not answered the question tho:
It is important to tell yourself the truth man cos your being blind to it does not change it. Its ur life tho.
I think you need to check the meaning of Myth and then relate it the stories.

The story of Achilles has tons of archeological findings suggesting Achilles is a historical figure but amidst this, Achilles mother being a Nymph is a pure myth.

You see, you don't even know what premise you were arguing over... Pretty lame

Oga did genesis account make the claim I stated above since it was copied from Enuma Elish?
Lmao. . . You just have no idea what comparative mythology is. Nobody copies myths word for word rather it is reworked in the cultural decorum of the newer civilization.

We all see it evidently in both enuma elish and Epic of gilgamesh. . .The older myth Gilgamesh attributed it to the God ea and the newer version attributed it to the God yahweh and a man named Noah....

This is the same way Genesis myth copied both style, motif and theme from the enuma elish...

It's so sad the young man doesn't know how to identify comparative mythologies.

Well I don't blame you, Christendom has filled ur head with the thought that day and night came before the sun.
Oh sweetheart you now want to blame CHRISTIANITY? seriously? undecided

Actually Christianity has nothing to do with it rather the same Genesis, a mythological antiquity that you are here selling made that assertion where "Day and night got created in the first day and the sun on the fourth day"

This is what we get when 21st century beings base their thinking based on myths as stipulated by idiotic beliefs.

5minsmadness:
Two Oceans Meet But Do Not Mix

There is a place in the gulf of Alaska where two oceans meet but don’t mix. If you look at the photo below you will notice that indeed two different oceans (as seen by their different colors) are meeting each other but not mixing (hence the foam in the middle of the picture.)

Now a lot of you might find this to be quite shocking and your first conclusion is to call the picture a fake saying that it is Photoshopped. The fact of the matter is that the picture is 100% REAL.


This is just one of the wonders of creation that believers will find awesome and inspiring. Atheists however will overlook the beauty of this phenomenon and [size=20]choose rather to explain it away via scientific means [/size] even though it only occurs in this one particular place in our entire magnificent world.

Horizontal sedimentation is well known e.g oil not mixing with water or salt water lying below freshwater. However vertical sedimentation is virtually non existent except in the gulf of Alaska where this beautiful phenomenon of nature is set in full display. Of course the oceans eventually mix but at an atomic level and this phenomenon doesn't last forever. However it shows the magnificence and power of an awesome creator who infuses beauty in nature in the strangest of places.
You see people? 5minsmadness would have us just like him reject scientific explanation of a simple natural phenomenon just to uphold his preposterous superstition.

Can intellectual dishonesty get any lower than this?

"Reject the obvious explanation just say a creator did it" Why do people keep retarding themselves in such an idiotic manner.

And the post couldn't get dumber that according to the post "acknowledging a creator did it is synonymous to appreciating beauty"

As a matter of fact we appreciate the beauty of the world far more better than you but we just lack the daftness it takes to deny SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION in order to uphold superstition.

Isn't it enough to acknowledge that a butterfly wings are beautiful without having to claim fairies painted and designed it?

Pheeeeew

The school were quite too hasty and drastically blinded by suspicion and fear by mistaking Ahmed's clock to be a bomb.

Though a critical look at it will see that the school were moved by the relationship between Islam and bombing in the world today...Nobody wants to die.

But it is also good to note that Ahmed has since being released when it was found that it was only a clock and not a bomb and President Barrack Obama invited him to the white house to make up for the false accusation.

The school administration should seriously apologize and even compensate Ahmed for putting him through such troubles . . . Intelligent innocent young man

I disagree with that. The emperor himself was also viewed as a god. as such, thats not monotheism.
The Pharaoh was known as Son of Aten which influenced the change of his name from Amehotep to Akhenaton.

The ancient religion of Aten as introduced by Akhenaton is a monotheistic religion, stop bringing up unfounded assertions https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akhenaten


So funny how people like you just want to false the things to support your position. El is a title that can refer to both Jehovah and any other god. That is how it is used in the scriptures. Now is that how Canaanites view El?

El to the canaanite is used to connote the canaanite head of pantheon, the canaaite chief God and the father of other canaanite Gods. in Semitic tongue can be used to refer to any other deity.

Here is where you can find the canaanite usage of El read it up https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaanite_religion


secondly, how can Moses possibly copy Canaanites when he hasnt gotten there before penning the Torah?
The Tetegrammaton has not developed when? Tell me more.
Lmao and the boy still holds the jewish theological tradition that moses wrote the torah... The tetragrammaton derived from the word "I am what i am"
Israel was never polytheic oga.
Pheeeew i really am in no mood for any childish higi haga https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahweh


Bible scholar, how do Jews view El, as a proper name or a title? Do Canaanotes view El as something to be translated as "God" or they view it as a proper name?
Refer to above.
And Jehovah had to drive them out cos of false worship, and punished the Jews for often doing the same. How then can such be if the worshiped Canaanite gods were proper?
So wrote the jews and i am supposed to start weighing jewish mythology with you now?

Lmao..

JMAN05:
You are too naive to bring this point I must say. Did you read this myths (note what they are myths) with open mind cos the above is quite otiose.
I have read both the Enuma Elish and the genesis account and both of them plainly are myths. . . You think the other real and the other myth betraying the abject bigotry induced by belief in one myth over another.
Enuma elish, or Sumerian-Babylonian “Epic of Creation.” According to this ancient record, Marduk, city-god of Babylon, vanquished the primeval sea goddess Tiamat and cut her in two. “From one half he fashioned the vault of the heavens, from the other the solid earth. That done, he organized the world. . . . Then ‘in order that the gods should live in a world to rejoice their hearts’ Marduk created humanity.”—Larousse Encyclopedia of Mythology.
[b][i]
1rst generation of gods and 1rst day of Genesis creation:
(From start of Enuma Elish)
When on high the heaven had not been named, Firm ground below had not
been called by name, Naught but primordial Apsu, their begetter, And
Mummu-Tiamat, she who bore them all, Their waters commingling as a
single body;
Apsu is the god of water.
Tiamat is the god of primeval chaos and bearer of the sky and the earth.
(Gen 1:1-2 NRSV) In the beginning when God created the heavens and the
earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the
deep (or watery chaos), (Tehowm) while a wind from God swept over the
face of the waters. ...
(Gen 1:5 NRSV) ...And there was evening and there was morning, the first
day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
2nd and 3rd generation of gods and 2nd and 3rd day of Genesis creation:
... Lahmu and Lahamu were brought forth, by name they were called. ...
Anshar and Kishar were formed, surpassing the others. ...
(Lahamu was the god of muddy silt and Kishar was the god of the Earth)
(Gen 1:6-7 NRSV) And God said, "Let there be a dome in the midst of the
waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters."
(Here God (Elohim) slices the waters into two with a sky dome to make the
sky and the oceans, in Enuma Elish this also parallels Marduk slicing Tiamat
(Tehowm in the bible) into two to make the land and sky.)
(Gen 1:8 NRSV) ...evening and there was morning, the second day.
(Gen 1:9-10 NRSV) And God said, "Let the waters under the sky be gathered
together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. God
called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he
called Seas. ...
(Gen 1:13 NRSV) ...evening and there was morning, the third day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
4rth generation of gods and 4rth day of Genesis creation:
Anu was their heir... (Anu was the god of the sky) ...
(Gen 1:16 NRSV) God made the two great lights--the greater light to rule the
day and the lesser light to rule the night-- and the stars. ... (and set them in
the sky dome)
(Gen 1:19 NRSV) ...evening and there was morning, the fourth day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
5th generation of gods and 5th day of Genesis creation:
He who begot him (Marduk) was Ea, (Ea was the god of all things of the
Earth and also of cantations, when he speaks things are made (God (Elohim)
makes things by speaking))
(Gen 1:21 NRSV) So God created the great sea monsters and every living
creature that moves, of every kind, with which the waters swarm, and every
winged bird of every kind. And God saw that it was good. ...
(Gen 1:23 NRSV) evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------
6th generation of gods and 6th day of Genesis creation:
In the heart of holy Apsu was Marduk created. He who begot him was Ea,
his father;
(Marduk became king of the Gods and creator of man) "Blood I will mass
and cause bones to be.
I will establish a savage, `man' shall be his name. truly, savage-man I will
create. He shall be charged with the service of the gods That they might be
at ease! (Parallel this with God (Elohim) resting after creating man)
(Gen 1:26 NRSV) Then God said, "Let us make humankind in our image,
(Gen 1:31 NRSV) ...evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
(Gen 2:2 NRSV) And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had
done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done.
So Marduk made man a slave so the gods could rest. After God (Elohim)
makes man he rests on the seventh day:





Wikipedia encyclopedia
The Enûma Eliš was recognized as being related to the Jewish Genesis
creation account from its first publication (Smith 1876), and it was an
important step in the recognition of the roots of the account found in the Bible
and in other Ancient Near Eastern ( Canaanite and Mesopotamian ) myths .
In one interpretation, Genesis 1:1-3 can be taken as describing the state of
chaos immediately before God's act of creation:

Do you believe man came from Ra’s tears? Many highly civilized and educated Egyptians did.
Neither do i believe man came from yahweh moulding some dirt, many civilized and educated 21st century beings think so like you

Or can you accept the assertion that the cloven body of a goddess gave rise to the heavens and the earth?
Where did the bible make such a claim?

Neither do i accept the assertion that earth was created first with day and night before it's parent star and the cause of day and night the sun.
But yet 21st century man like you still sheepishly believe it and at the same time somehow is under the stuporous impression that you are better than the Egyptians who believe their own myth..

Oh yeah we all know the myths inside the fable.

We have hundreds of cases of Gods having children by human women, i really do not need start counting them out for you.
why has religion of Jews survived till date?

thisisjboy:
I wouldn't go as far as "unlikely". I mean, a star burning out its core automatically has its gravitational pull on the surrounding objects lessened. Think of its gravity as a tightly wound rope, when loosened, it only makes sense that the said object(s) would drift away. I'd say it's one of the possible scenarios, I'd rather not quantify it's probability.
A star during the process of nuclear fusion do not loose it's gravitational pull in fact the reverse is the case, a star accumulates more gravity to it's core during the process..
