Fairytales won't produce such a land, that's for sure.

Bros the truth is universal. Even scientists have confirmed in research that the earth or dry land was overthrowned by water which reduced the human population. They claimed it was because the Artantica, a continent covered in iceberg melted and thereby drowning majority of the the Earth's population. Now this is referring to the flood and Noah. There was speculations that our hearts have a tiny hole in the middle also and this is buttresding theories that God lives in our hearts. The Bible is not a book of tales, it is a book of plans or programs that will eventually play itself out just like Noah warned of the floods, the gospel of the kingdom is real but not here yet.

We've confirmed no such thing. If we have it won't be necessary for this thread to ask us what type of evidence of gods we would require. All books that we know of were written by men including the one you claim confirms a god so please produce the evidence that confirms this god.

Meanwhile whether the weapon was built in my backyard or bought from abroad, its efficacy against horses and chariots is not in question, gods on the other hand can produce themselves and allow us to test our weapons against their claims.

I think the men who wrote the scriptures of the Bible were mostly scribes, prophets and apostles. Scribe is a department under the priesthood family who would listen to inspired prophecies and events happening which resembles the fulfillment of the prophecies foretold.
Moses was the first to put inspired visions on tablets of stones. People have argued that he could have learned them orally having schooled in Egypt for 40 years but we think he actually wrote the account of creation in Genesis after he met God in form of Jehovah in the burning bush that wasn't burning. He would either go into truanc or direct hearing. Same applies to the other prophets and their visions and prophecies has never failed. The Jews after a long time under the Law corrupted it until they missed the prophecy of the Messiah, this was God himself walking among them but they were so full of themselves that they tested and tried him till he took His last breath (God can not die). They were only fulfilling what was written down long ago. The same book of prophecy says that Jesus will be back and some day we will have a perfect world system and we are not getting ready for that.
Lastly, the world that exists today wasn't as advanced as the one of Noah. In fact all what Ham, the founder of Egypt had were a carryover from the first world or his ancestors. The book of Genesis called them Giants and men of reknown. All the ruling planets of our Zodiac or star signs are named after them

Why are you just making up nonsense to buttress your assertions? There is no evidence of a universal flood, there's no hole in a normal heart. Please if you want to have a conversation be grounded in reality not nonsense made up bullshit.

Two words - Moderation and Equality.
A universe devoid of all forms of extremism, unhealthy rivalry, bitterness and strife. A universe where extreme pain, sorrow and anguish is but a dream and real joy, laughter, merriment and satisfaction is a core part of our reality not only for a select few but for each and everyone. A universe where everyone is mentally, physically and psychologically placed on an equal pedestal, if not completely, at least almost. The parity is simply too much. A universe of one tribe, race and religion. A universe totally devoid of all forms of discrimination, hate and abuse, one where we would not have to tolerate each other because we're all exactly like each other. A universe where each and everyone matters, I mean truly matter in the scheme of things.

Too many people are full of opinions, with knowing less than half the facts. SMH.

What a better place it'll be, if us humans naturally have love, compassion and empathy.
It's comforting to know that, in the end,

We can like the world to be equal and moderated , but equality to be fair must be self regulated, not externally mandated. It is up to you to make the world what you expect of it. The mechanism to make the world already is in place

1- Can everyone have a great education? Yes.
2- Can everyone be financially secure? Yes.
3- Can everyone be well fed? Yes.
4- Can everyone be healthy? Yes.
5 -can everyone love themselves? Yes.

I list education first because all else flows from education [i.e]. If you are educated, you can find a job. Then you tailor your lifestyle to your income. With proper budgeting you can also eat well, and maintain your health. With any excess income you can buy luxuries.if all this are achieved, there will be no need for hatred. And love itself will be our main goal.

This would only have be realistically possible if all things had originally been made equal. There are persons not factored into your disposition - the dweebs, the misfits, the pariahs, persons born with one or multiple forms of physical or intellectual disability or disorder. I'm not asking that if he exists, he should provide for us that which he has empowered us to provide for ourselves. I'm rather demanding that he shows up like the all knowing, all powerful, omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient God of gods he, along with theists claim he is and provide for us that which we cannot seem to provide for ourselves, I'm demanding that he shows up and fix the loopholes and messes in the superstructure he designed. Engineers commit blunders in the first generation of their inventions which they fix subsequently. No matter how much a father empowers his children to provide for themselves, there will always be things the children will not be able to provide for themselves without the assistance and/or support of the father, a great and caring father, not a dead beat father. If God exists, then he's no more than a father who abandoned his family when the going got tough or for some other reason or maybe, just maybe, he never and doesn't exist but is rather an invention of the imagination of certain persons to serve as an easy explanation to the absurdities of the universe in which we live.

it seems you are reading mantra . I will expect you to be more logical and critical.

Nature is reasonably meritocratic,(survival of the fittest) meaning ""equality of opportunity exists to every one "" notions of fairness and equality are human concepts. Nature, when anthropomorphized, is merciless, ruthless & pragmatic. Those organisms that are best adapted to survive & reproduce, will. Those that aren't, are eaten or, in some other way, used to advance the survival & reproduction of a more "fit" organism. That make morw sense to me.

If a lifeform is fit, it will out-perform others. Weak and diseased creatures underperform. This may result to some human concept notion ""inequality"" but each individual gets an equal chance at success.

I've been humble and in awe for a long time, a time way more than long enough. Too much of everything and anything is bad, very very bad for all round growth, progress and development. Africans have been humble and in awe ever since the Whites invaded the continent with their junks, religion and language. See what has become of the continent and her people today. Humility without rationality and commonsense, a thirst for knowledge, the desire to learn, relearn and unlearn antiquated ideas, beliefs and doctrines is a paragon of blind followership of which the consequences inherent are bound to be disastrous.

You shouild used what or how instead of who. What and how allow the possibility of research and who limit it. The nature is everything that exist around us and has been created in long term processes by very simple elements that evolute in much more complicate organisms. Something much more more pragmatic start the process that created the nature.. "" we nickname it God""

Weak and deasese people exist for a variety of reasons...for example ""genetic reasons"" which is part of the evolutionary process . Remember . It is survival of the fittest where equal chance is given to all.

I would never say I have all the answers because humans, no matter how intelligent they are cannot think outside time, space and energy/matter. Well the things that convinced me of Elokim's existence;
1 The prophecies in Daniel, Ezekiel, Jusus's prediction of the destruction of jerusalem after his death and of no stone remaining on the second temple location, the siege of jerusalem, the deatructive desolation standing in the holy place which is the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the rock standing there now. Jerusalem being trodden by the feet of men until the fulfillment of the gentiles in 1948 after the 6 day Arab war. The prophecy of paul in 1 Timothy 4:3 and what it relates to in the second lateran council in 1139 AD. Those of Ezekiel of about those that turn their backs against the temple praying towards the east, prostrating which is how those who worship in the Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome pray currently in Jerusalem.
2 "Tohu and Bohu", "Bohu" which means building blocks of matter, translated by Moses Maimonides 1125 AD regarded by Jews as the greateat teacher of the Torah after Moses in the bible in genesis.
3 Other human like creatures before Adam (although many Christians would say no) but without the living soul which Yahweh gave. This had also been said by scholars of the Torah like Nahmanides 1190 AD, Rashi 1109 CE and Maimonides 1125 CE centuries before paleontology.
4 A wing in the London museum dedicated to the beginning of civilization and trade by barter about 5750 years ago, about the time of Adam even though farming had existed for about 10k years.
There are others I can't remember at the moment but I'm very sure of these.
I don't just read the bible. I read other books, science, religion, history etc when I can find them, even Erich Don Vaniken's books about alien technology lol.
I used to be an atheist though and brothers, not to be judgemental, I do not have a right to be, I do not think I can go back to being an atheist with all the things that I've found myself. I do not claim I have all the answers but it's little by little.
