Atheists aren't any better than illiterates. Cos what other proof do you need to believe God exists. Y'all just want to be delusional.
Re: Christians Vs Atheists by donnffd(m): 8:12am On Oct 01, 2016
Normally, i dont reply threads like this but your confidence in the proof of God(jesus) as you called it is amusing, So i would ask you a couple of questions...

1. Why does the bible say the earth is 6000years old when it is clearly not?

2. Why does the bible say stars would far on the earth when the fact is its the earth that would fall in a star?

3. Why did gideon command the sun to stand still when it was the earth that was rotating?

Baby steps...

1. Verse were the bible say the earth is 6000years old.
2.Revelation 6:13-14 is talking about an Event YET to come,and as such cannot be proven or disprove by science. To say the book describe something that is impossible, is to say the event has happen. Secondly, the bible make it clear, john don't understand what he was seeing, He was only instructed to write what he see. Thirdly. The Greek word, astayr, besides being translated "star" can also have the meaning "comet," "meteor" or "asteroid", since there is no Greek word having this meaning. Even our English language refers to meteorites as "falling stars." The description of the "star" Wormwood seems to be that of a large meteorite or comet
3. The text makes it clear that Sun "stopped in the middle of the sky".We still use phrases like the "Sun rose", "Sun set". There is no English (or Hebrew) phrase indicating that the earth rotates until the horizon covers the Sun. It was a supernatural event.

1. Why does the bible say the earth is 6000years old when it is clearly not?
The earth being 6,000 years old was due to the meticulous calculations of ages and generational time frames by archbishop Asher but a logical explanation to this is that we are not the first on the earth. I draw my premise from retranslating Genesis from the original Hebrew. During retranslation I had this:
"In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth became formless and desolate"

The Hebrew word rendered as "was" can also be translated as "became". So, we are probably not the first on earth and that the earth is 6,000 years old only came from the calculation based on our own time frame and not that of the pre-existent time frame.
2. Why does the bible say stars would far on the earth when the fact is its the earth that would fall in a star?
In a literal sense, it would refer to a meteor shower but metaphorically, stars are used to refer to saints and falling from heaven to earth means backsliding.
3. Why did gideon command the sun to stand still when it was the earth that was rotating?

Baby steps...
Ps: It was Joshua and I believe the earth just stopped rotating but Joshua being primitive thought the sun stood still.

Re: Christians Vs Atheists by Nobody: 12:27pm On Oct 01, 2016
Lol. The earth stopped rotating? grin grin Do you know what would happen if the earth were to stop rotating, I laff you, The earth is moving at 1000 mph so if it were to suddenly stop moving, everything and every one would probably be destroyed, we would be blasted by 1000mph wind( a tornado is 300mph) the seas would converge at the two poles, flooding much of the middle east ( were the Bible was conceived) Europe and north America. So Joshua for don die along with all im soldiers. Ignorance is bad.

You are right, it was joshua, so sorry...

Well, my main point is that the bible was not clear, when science negates some stuffs in the bible, intellectuals try to change the meaning to a metaphorical meaning, it has been happening since the time science became fastheld.

So it shows that the bible writers werent sure about these things or got the answers wrong, either ways, its really not a great proof for an intelligent creator in my humble opinion.

Then let me ask this question, why is God vague?, why are there many religions and not one?

Every religion has the perception of an all powerful creator but there are some which feel that forces He created should be revered alongside Him and this is where polythesm comes in.

But why doesnt God reveal himself in an unambiguous way to every human being telling them that he and only he alone should be worshipped?

Why does he allow the confusion to ensue?

What is the point of being on earth?, why cant we all just be in heaven and when someone defaults, he serves his time in hell?, why the process of mortal life?

Where was our souls before we were born and when did it enter our bodies?

I do not adhere to the abhorrent doctrine of a place of eternal fiery torment. God hasn't created any new humans. He only created Adam and Eve but He gave them the ability to reproduce.

You said Joshua made the earth stop rotating, and not the sun, I proved how this would be impossible without destroying everything on earth, so what is your response?

Well, the earth's sudden pause in rotation would subject the earth to fast moving solar winds but if this were to be miraculous, then there would be no worries.

Solar winds is a long term problem sef. I'm talking about 1000 miles per hour winds ( a tornado is just 300mph), I'm talking about massive continent covering floods. So please explain.

1. Ofcourse It Is.
I could have told u just to shut up and watch lordnicklaus to learn how to debate but I guess ur case is one of honest ignorance. Let me help u out. Google out the oldest tree on earth, the oldest culture, and u would see they are order than 6,000 years. We have rocks of about 4 billion years old and u are saying it is just 6,000 years oldhuh if that were true, we would not have jumped from 2 to 6 billion people.
2. Were Does The Bible Say Star Will Fall On The Earth.
I suggest u study revelations more.
3. God Created The Universe So He Can Do Anything... Beside, The Earth Is God's Footstool.
U have done a terrible job in proving that. So on what basis should I believe u huh
.
Answer My Questions;
1. Why Do Miracles Happen When Pastors Pray?
Nope. Many of those "miracles" are stagged or just silly tricks. A real miracle would be to see a cut off arm grow again.
2. Why Is It That Humans Have Conscience But Animals Don't
Conscience denotes feeling of guilt or joy. Have u not seen when a dog which is well trained eating a food it is not supposed to runs away when someone comes in or when it is happy when the master comes inhuh our sense of conscience evolves with society eg our ancient women felt no guilt in walking topless but today our young girls feel guilt doing that. So is conscience installed or learnthuh
3. Who Made The Sun?
It should be what made the sun. Actually from a nebula from super nova explosion
4. How Come About Spirits?

Is there proof of thishuh

I do not know about a pause in the rotational movement of the earth but I do know polar reversals or a sudden retrogade rotation of the earth has an effect such as the one you mentioned.

Joshua stopped the sun(or earth) long enough for him to finish a battle. So let's estimate this at Two hours maximum. If the earth stopped at all, we'd be destroyed by a 1000 mph wind. I doubt any structure on earth would survive such an assault. Its like you're on a fast moving car and it suddenly stops moving, the acceleration that pushes you forward is basically how the fast moving earth would work if it stopped.

It takes the earth approximately 6 hours to complete a sectorial angle of 90 degrees during its rotation at which towards half of that time, it is nearly not moving and still the earth hasn't been ravaged by such cataclysmic events.

The bible was not written for scientific purpose, prophecy was not meant for prophet to understand, they were only instructed to write what they see.

God don't invent religion. Man invent religion. God created man for father and son relationship, after the fall of man, everything was lost, that is were religion come in.

Do you need a lesson in planetary rotation? Cause I honestly don't have the time to argue facts. Instead I'll just share a link from NASA

The bible is a book of fairy tales open your eyes.
