The tallest man in modern times was 2.72m. How hard can it be to fathom that ancient giants were just 0.18m taller?
1)the corpses being dug up around there are much more shorter
2)goliath's skull is depicted as enormous or something..

if jesus was really coming as the authors of the new testament said... And god doesnt want people to go to hell.. Then he'd have come back in the first century..

But its all hogwash! From a book of fiction.

You'd say i've gone to satan to get powers..that its magic i did...and you'd say you said it that atheists are satanists and that your bible prophecies are coming to light...

If one is discovered, how would you its Goliath's? It might just be the skeleton of one very tall dude that lived thousands of years ago. Myths do not carry such life.
it need not be goliath's own..
I know king david existed..
So if skeletons of gigantic humans(about ten feet or so) are discovered...then the probability is there for his story to be true..
My perspective.

The continuation '...or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut him up for a fool, you can spit at him and kill him as a demon or you can fall at his feet and call him Lord and God, but let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about his being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.' C.S. Lewis

jonbellion:
are you for realhuh You guys still believe the shroud of Turin was jesus' burial cloth even though it has been proven to be a forgery with carbon dating eons ago. Do you realise there is no significant archeological evidence that the Israelites ever been slaves in Egypt. This is odd because the Egyptians are excellent record keepers so I dunno what the Bleep your saying just just king Hezekiah existed doesn't make all thy biblical claims true . After all the Abrahamic God prophesied that Egypt would be a barren wasteland for 40 years FAIL. Isreal will always be at peace with her neighbours FAIL. Egypt would speak the language of the Canaanites FAIL. Jesus was a "direct" descendant of King David through the male line.[ Obviously, if Jesus had no human father, he couldn't have been a biological descendant of King David through the male line so FAIL There is archeological evidence that zombies walked the earth after yeshuas deathhuh Please tell me more. Abeg when jesus told his parents I'm in my fathers house was he in the church or the synagogue? There is archeological ave scientific evidence jesus flew to heavenhuh Please tell me more. There's archeological evidence the tower of babel passed the five layers of the atmosphere??I had no idea heaven was in this dimension. Yet the tower of Babel was reaching heaven. Lmao Please tell me more?? I had no idea heaven was in the sky. I thought it was not in this dimension. Yet jesus' "flew" to heaven rather than disappearing Lmao jesus told his disciples that some of them standing there would not taste death till they se the son of man coming. Ray comfort matt slick and his fellow christian apologist paks whisk this obviously failed prophecy of his return by saying he was talking about the transfiguration. Yet the transfiguration was after he made the statement in Mathew but before he made the statement in the other synoptic gospels. Woow the bible is really confused oo. Jesus told the high priest he would see him coming in the clouds. Wooow . Jesus said this generation would not pass away and christian apologists say he is talking about our generation. If he really was he would have said it in a future tense but he did not. Peter helped the early christians out in their disappointment by saying a thousand years is like a day before God. And you guys believe the earth was created in 7 days woooooow. The annoying thing about christian apologetics is that they don't then agree on the same thing. Don't you thing God should be revealing to them the same answer. Anyway don't worry jesus is coming
In the clouds. All eyes would see him even though we are in a spherical earth. He is also coming on horse too. Most anthropologists end up being agnostic. The Jews rejected him for obvious reasons and you people turned him into something he's not. He was a great guy he said cool things on pacifism. You people now made a religion out of the man The civillisatin of Syria is older than creation week anyway jesus is coming back oo don't worry grin
well said..
Jesus himself was a practising jew..
Practised judaism..
Likewise his parents..

Mr itching for a debate....your view would always hold no water with me and you know it.
sir...
If that is your assumption same way maybe 3000 yrs from today someone would be assuming same thing you are when told about how volcanic eruptions and tsumanis levelled cities and how the A bomb demolished nagasaki and hiroshima and they would say you were a super genious abi when you were no more than an Internet troll especially since you would not be there to defend yourself so yeah assume away if that helps your ego.
it could have been written with him alive...
his death doesnt need to happen for such a story to be written...
and that something incredible was writtten..doesnt mean it happened...
I gave an explicit parallel...---Egyptian pharaohs.

Sarassin:
For more than 300 years Christians happily visited the empty tomb on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, we know this from the writings of the Christian historian Eusebius;

“Believers in Jesus all congregate from all parts of the world....that they may worship at the Mount of Olives opposite the city....to the cave that is shown there.” (Eusebius, Proof of the Gospel, Bk. VI. ch. 18).

In addition, from the Gospel writer Luke we know that Calvary was located on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem (Luke 23:33) and the empty tomb was nearby.

However, in the year 326, Constantine sent his mother Helena to Jerusalem to discover the spot that he had foreseen as the place of Jesus' Resurrection. Constantine's mother "discovered" the site upon finding three crosses that had supposedly not deteriorated after more than three hundred years.

It turned out this was the site of the temple of Venus on the western side of Jerusalem. Constantine ordered the temple torn down and a church constructed on the site. This is called the church of the "Holy" Sepulchre to this day. Curiously we know that when the Romans finally conquered Jerusalem in 135 A.D., as an insult to the Jews, they built a Temple of Venus over a monument to the Jewish freedom fighter named John Hyrcanus.

This "gloomy shrine of lifeless idols", according to Eusebius was the site which Constantine later chose to build his Church of the "Holy" Sepulchre: (Life of Constantine, chapter 26).
i dont even know where to start..
They apparently know nothing except the biblical narrative

Similar to olumba olumba style...david was a good king of the israel people....
Stories of births and mythical abilities of pharaoh's are also like that sire.

'an atavism is an evolutionary throwback, such
as traits reappearing that had disappeared generations
before.' - Wikipedia

Therefore if you say it is evidence of evolution you are using circular reasoning.
are embroyological similarities circular reasoning ?
Read what i sent you..its a description of how the atavistic trait----tails..
Appear in modern homosapiens..
Christianity Etc › Re: Proof Of Evolution: Early Human Fossils by raphieMontella: 10:25pm On Oct 27, 2016
UyiIredia:
7000 years is a lot of time. But just check out living fossils which are fossils of species which exist today. These species where supposedly unchanged for millions of years. In fact, this contradicts evolution.
this is wrong tho...seems you're looking at evolution from a weird angle...let me help..

1)Living fossils would only contradict evolution...if they are found in every other layer(upper) apart from that singular layer they were once found...
2)theres nowhere in darwinism that states that -----all individuals of a specie must evolve morphologically...
3)living fossils would contradict evolution..if they are found in a lower layer than the way darwinism proposes---e.g finding a ''living vertebrate fossil'' in the fossil layers of ''invertebrates''..
Christianity Etc › Re: Proof Of Evolution: Early Human Fossils by raphieMontella: 10:17pm On Oct 27, 2016
UyiIredia:
No. It doesn't. In fact, the very definition of atavism presumes evolution. It's a classic case of circular reasoning.
its not circular reasoning...
Like the kids born with ''tails''...
Thats as a result of the failure of the embyonic tail which is a developing coccyx-----the ''continuation'' of the vertebral column to regress...
If humans were created ''distinctively''..such wouldnt occur...as the ''tails'' are always from there...
Atavism is not in only humans btw...it occurs in other species and its inline with the relationship proposed by darwinism...
Design wont have us be linked with other species in the way we see it today...as they are clearly distinct..only common ancestry....

AnonyNymous:
People like you are an example of what I'm talking about. @The bolded, everybody thinks their religion is the perfect religion. Its isn't rocket science for you to acknowledge that you cannot change everyone's mind: just the way you think you're right, others will also think they're right as well.

Once again, I'm repeating myself to you. The problem is not being an atheist, a clear example is how both Christians and atheists are rejecting 'ownership' of Hitler. Everyone recognises that he was a bad person. Because he was bad, not because his religion told him to do something bad.
Atheists have realised, like the popular proverb says, 'a child that cries at night to wake his mother up, will not also sleep'. In other words, the only way for there to be peace is if we all try to respect each other and that is where the human rights code of the UN was drafted from. So stop all this bs of 'atheists have no morality'. Everyone knows when something is good and when something us bad.

All atheists are asking for is that laws that are partaining to a general population should be made on a secular basis, laws that benefit everybody. Your personal religion should not get in the way, period
well said boss!

We've already covered this, That happened when we knew little of evolution. In the 1920's for christ sake, evolution theory was barely 60 years then and science was primitive compared to today, beside it was still scientist an atheist scientist that exposed the fraud as science is impartial. The creationist didn't discover the fraud rather other scientist an atheist scientist did. You can't blame all of science for the work of a few.
