My mother was very religious. She used to read revelations to me as a bed time story. I lived a terrified childhood. Anyways, she told me that the people back then had a very blind perspective of the world because they didn't have science, telescopes, spaceships, etc. Their idea of the whole world was probably rather small. She said the whole world probably did not flood, but just a whole region that their small minds perceived as the whole world. The flood extended as far as the people knew to be their entire world. So supposedly Noah just rounded up the animals of the local area and some still were probably missed but existed elsewhere....which is more believable. She described how inaccurate most stories are from back then because of the small mindedness and lack of knowledge the people suffered from. She said you'd have to read between the lines with the Bible because the authors were ignorant. My poor sweet mother was a strange religious fanatic. She said southern baptists were pagans. Actually everyone but her was a pagan, a witch, or satanic. She had a much more cosmic view of God. That always stuck with me. Changed a bit when cancer got her though. God answered her prayers many times. I read a prayer of hers that was written before I was born. She asked for a perfect description of me when she wanted a child. Well, she got me. But when the cancer got her, she begged for God to heal her. I read the prayers and they were so sad. All of her talk of reading between the lines didn't change the fact that she brought up God's healing power stories in her prayers. My mother once told me that I would go to hell for listening to the backstreet boys. She was devout and God didn't spare her suffering. Preachers told me that she was just so devout that God wanted her to come home.

But she was a fanatic, and in the end it don't save her. All her actions did was push me away from religion. Now I have a cynical view on life & have no faith in established religion. I follow my own beliefs. I grew up bouncing from religion to religion, denomination to denomination. No church or religion was ever devout enough for my mother. Did you see the part about how every church was into paganism or witchcraft in her eyes? I grew up having to allow old men to wash my feet. Looking back on that with my adult knowledge, a man with a foot fetish very well could have been getting off on that. Once we had to handle snakes, and I was terrified. Luckily God saw me as a true believer and chose to not let the snake bite me. I never got a Halloween as a child, now I go all out for it. Christmas was also not allowed, neither was Easter. Religion was so drilled into my head that I was a fool. I survived a school shooting, but only because a wise teacher threw me into a classroom. The religion drilled into my head made me think that I could talk to the shooter about the love of the lord & pray with him. I was on my way to do just that when I was saved. See, I don't mind people being into religion. Whatever brings comfort, ya know? But not to the point where it makes children into fools. It took many years to fix the damage that had been done.

Understand the common bible, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. The common bible that is so easily found in many different versions increasingly throughout the generations, was wholly amalgamated by Rome, by Constantine and his self elected council of Nicaea, who also changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. They stole from Authentic Hebrew sources, then referenced Gospel of the Nazarenes, which Yeshua whom they gave the name Jesus, had His happenings and sayings secretly recorded by His brother James the Just and mother Mary, amalgamated by John in prison. Made the New Testament, and burnt every copy available and killed many then, with one secret copy hidden in Tibet that was rediscovered in 1870’s by Friar Placidus, who translated it on his way back from Aramaic to Latin. Yeshua fed melons for example and bread in that Gospel to the thousand and cured their fever. Not fish. He stopped Judah from killing a lamb at the Last Supper, for He was the sacrificial lamb, for Moses in his error and rage allowed some of the Israelites to eat meat, that carried on for a few generations. So Yeshua was trying to bring about Isaiah 11: 6-9. Read that, and you will start to understand the common book, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. But in the beginning it was not so. The book, if you like to understand, had areas where it was allowed to be modified, For eg: When satan was allowed to negotiate Job's sufferings, so in some areas he wasn't able to influence the book makers at 325AD, because Heaven didn’t allow it. Like the saying goes, not one hair will drop from your head, if it wasn't allowed. So some books in the bible, was not allowed to be corrupted coming from Heaven, and so on earth it wasn't allowed. Another example, read Matt 5: 17 -20, then read Romans 10:4. Complete contradiction to one another's message. Paul is a fake apostle, the ultimate weapon of Rome against believers at the time.

[@dealarr]

Evidence the New Testament is fictatious: “And in every case they discuss the bread but they don’t mention anything about fish. So I think that fish is a later addition. In fact, if you even look at the New Testament, it says, at another point, when Jesus is talking about the feeding of the five thousand, he says, ‘Don’t you remember when I fed the multitudes and all the bread that we took up?’ And he doesn’t mention the fish. The horse leg is also revealed (Horse leg is a saying to say a horse is pretending to be a human, but is exposed) in every version of the bible today: Matthew 16:9 New International Version Yeshua said: 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Where the fish at? Mark 8:16-21 New International Version 16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied. 20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.” 21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” Where is the mention of fish He supposedly broken up too. In the original Gospel where the New Testament is referenced from, Gospel of the Nazarenes, it was bread and melons, and fruits. They removed that in the first versions of the Bybaal, sorry, bible.

It's funny seeing you losers bash the bible as if you go with science when you can't even make it past the first verse with God creating. Real science says nothing does nothing. Real science says if there was something there already it must fit with the evidence of what we know. We know the 1LT says there's a conservation of energy. It can change forms and neither can be created or destroyed. Creation cannot happen by natural means. The 2LT has various aspects, one being the universe is winding down, entropy. Usable energy is becoming less usable, so at one point usable energy was at its max. This all points to a supernatural creation, by a supernatural creator at a certain point in which matter, space, and time were created. When I read how it can happen otherwise, ALL the fools resort to science-fiction. Once a supernatural creation is accepted, then the next step is finding proof of what supernatural power did it. We KNOW these laws. We have NO doubts about them. We also KNOW that the laws of nature can't come about without a Lawgiver, God. So if you want to pretend to be smart, please give me the laugh by giving your science how creation really happened by natural means. Also, throw in how we got the laws of nature, naturally.

OMG! The story of my life growing up as a JW. All of the unbelievable parts of these biblical stories are explained away by God is all powerful and he can make even the impossible possible. When your born and raised in this religion that explanation works just fine until puberty. That's when all hell breaks loose, the scary part is the psychological pressures and changes you undergo can be very dangerous to mental development and your life in general. I considered suicide as a teen when my life long JW friends stopped associating with me. I became the bad guy when I grew my hair, went to my Prom and got a girlfriend. The religion is so restrictive it feels like everything is a sin including suicide so that wasn't an option. and yes college was frowned upon but we were told for a totally different reason. We were told the bad association with worldly people in college would ruin our useful habits. As an adult, debating with family and friends who are still believers I realize its about keeping you away from higher education. instead relying on a group at the top of the organization called "society" to tell you what to think. The internet has changed things though, having so much education at your finger tips its harder convince people to believe nonsense. I agree with you they pick and choose what science to believe.

There is a line for healthy skepticism of current scientific theory that was crossed a long time ago by self proclaimed creation 'scientists.' Believe it or not, people can believe in the idea of God and not take the Bible as literally true. The Bible is interesting because it is a collection of stories written by many people over a long period of time, including oral myths and legends. The Bible never calls itself 'the bible,' never says it is inerrant, and never suggests that many of the stories should be taken as anything other than allegorical. I personally find the stories are far more interesting as allegories than historical facts. The concept of Sola Scriptura is a fairly recent phenomenon developed by the Church, which I believed was all about power and control of the masses.

Debates about religion are unwinnable. Saying that one legend from the time of Gilgamesh is not literally true, does not destroy the Bible at all, except for die-hard Fundamentalists. We will not go to Heaven or Hell depending on whether we assert that the story of Noah is literally true. That is only an excuse to ignore all the rest of the Book. The authors millennia ago did not have the knowledge or research techniques that we have today. @Michael Flynn: Pilate's question: "What is truth?" becomes very relevant here. It was apparently a topic of discussion among philosophers of his time.

Understand the common bible, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. The common bible that is so easily found in many different versions increasingly throughout the generations, was wholly amalgamated by Rome, by Constantine and his self elected council of Nicaea, who also changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. They stole from Authentic Hebrew sources, then referenced Gospel of the Nazarenes, which Yeshua whom they gave the name Jesus, had His happenings and sayings secretly recorded by His brother James the Just and mother Mary, amalgamated by John in prison. Made the New Testament, and burnt every copy available and killed many then, with one secret copy hidden in Tibet that was rediscovered in 1870’s by Friar Placidus, who translated it on his way back from Aramaic to Latin. Yeshua fed melons for example and bread in that Gospel to the thousand and cured their fever. Not fish. He stopped Judah from killing a lamb at the Last Supper, for He was the sacrificial lamb, for Moses in his error and rage allowed some of the Israelites to eat meat, that carried on for a few generations. So Yeshua was trying to bring about Isaiah 11: 6-9. Read that, and you will start to understand the common book, was an infomercial for legalised murder and meat eating. For Rome had a huge economy for meat eating and killing of animals. But in the beginning it was not so. The book, if you like to understand, had areas where it was allowed to be modified, For eg: When satan was allowed to negotiate Job's sufferings, so in some areas he wasn't able to influence the book makers at 325AD, because Heaven didn’t allow it. Like the saying goes, not one hair will drop from your head, if it wasn't allowed. So some books in the bible, was not allowed to be corrupted coming from Heaven, and so on earth it wasn't allowed. Another example, read Matt 5: 17 -20, then read Romans 10:4. Complete contradiction to one another's message. Paul is a fake apostle, the ultimate weapon of Rome against believers at the time.

[@dealarr]

Evidence the New Testament is fictatious: “And in every case they discuss the bread but they don’t mention anything about fish. So I think that fish is a later addition. In fact, if you even look at the New Testament, it says, at another point, when Jesus is talking about the feeding of the five thousand, he says, ‘Don’t you remember when I fed the multitudes and all the bread that we took up?’ And he doesn’t mention the fish. The horse leg is also revealed (Horse leg is a saying to say a horse is pretending to be a human, but is exposed) in every version of the bible today: Matthew 16:9 New International Version Yeshua said: 9 Do you still not understand? Don’t you remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many basketfuls you gathered? Where the fish at? Mark 8:16-21 New International Version 16 They discussed this with one another and said, “It is because we have no bread.” 17 Aware of their discussion, Jesus asked them: “Why are you talking about having no bread? Do you still not see or understand? Are your hearts hardened? 18 Do you have eyes but fail to see, and ears but fail to hear? And don’t you remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” “Twelve,” they replied. 20 “And when I broke the seven loaves for the four thousand, how many basketfuls of pieces did you pick up?” They answered, “Seven.” 21 He said to them, “Do you still not understand?” Where is the mention of fish He supposedly broken up too. In the original Gospel where the New Testament is referenced from, Gospel of the Nazarenes, it was bread and melons, and fruits. They removed that in the first versions of the Bybaal, sorry, bible.

I am sure theology had too much chances to fiddle with the original accounts, and western translators did a poor work. Concerning Balaam and the talking donkey. I don't think the original accounts were speaking about a talking donkey. According to ancients opinion about Balaam, he was considered as a non-Israelite soothsayer. According to modern textual criticism, about 90% of biblical scholars who support the "Documentary Hypothesis" (DH, google it), this portion of the tale is different from the Yahwist version of the story. In their opinion, the Yahwists deliberately assume that the donkey actually spoke, and that the whole episode was designed to mock Balaam. Evidently the Yahwists did not like the non-Jewish prophets (Balaam wasn't an Israelite), and their text is much harsher regarding Balaam than the Elohists' text. The paragraphs immediately preceding and following this episode seem to have an elohist matrix. This is the opinion of modern scholarship.

Afterall hundreds of cultures all around the world spoke about the Sky People... In this framework everything has its logical and philological explaination: the Burning Bush, the Adam-Aphar, or the making of man with the tselem (image) of elohim, or the fabrication of the female using the tsela (sure it was a rib?) of the adam, the female actually had a relation with the nachash (sure it was a serpent?), and sure it was a fruit? or about the kavod of Yahweh (glory of the Lord) and the Ruach of Elohim (spirit of God) and many other things.

It's not completely parable. It's just been translated to reflect the stupidity of the Catholic church. It never says it was a global flood in the Hebrew. Words translated as mountains mean hills. The "whole world" just means the world at large. It's the same phrase used to describe the famine in Egypt and the locust plague. The flood only effected the fertile crescent valley and its target was the chosen Adam lineage that received the "breath of life". Not all mankind. There is Genesis 1 Adam, all mankind created by the elohim, and there is Genesis 2 Adam, a special lineage made special by Yehowah. And Genesis 4, which is a particular man. Christ's birth is compared to the Genesis 2 Adam meaning Genesis 2 Adam had a mother and a father template. These are the ones given the breath of life and hence having the very long lifetimes. Cain and Seth went on to marry woman from the rest of humanity. Just like Noah's sons. The blood was diluted and their lifespans shrunk over generations. Now you can still call it mythology, but the myth is not being properly represented by the masses. There is parallel in the Sumerian myths (the place Abraham came from) and with the discovery of the Burkle crater impact it's very possible this flood did occur around 4800kya.

Hi, After reading all of the comments posted below and after having started to read the Bible myself, I have been drawn to a conclusion I must just accept the Bible stories as they are written in the Bible. I tried and failed to logically explain the stories and formed the opinion that I cannot prove or logically explain most of the Bible and decided to stop trying. Religion means different things to many different people and that is ok. For me, I need to believe in my mind that there is a God responsible for all that exists. I cannot explain many things in the world, I just accept certain things as they are. It is not necessary for me to be able to explain everything, somethings will continue to always be a mystery. Faith is one of those things, but one thing is for certain we all will die at some point in time and I would rather wrap my mind around an unexplainable Bible than to try and wrap my mind around nothing at all. Thanks for posting this video. John in Ohio

You don't have to wrap your mind around the bible, read some science books it's better. Also if you cannot get out of religion don't indoctrinate your children. Since they force it on people and children generation to generation, now my gf also say the same thing. "Faith in God is a must" she said. I'm grow up in Asia for 15 years and my hometown don't know Jesus Christ at all, we are all Buddhist, most of us are atheist Buddhist, some are theist Buddhist, no one say anything about Jesus we still live well and happy. We has myth about the global floods, too (probably local big floods since many asia countries next to the sea). There are 4 Dragons raise up and fight against the God clan create a first global flood. A Demon general is super strong and capture all 4 Dragons and used it as a condition to ask marry the princess of the God clan. The Jade emperor at first agree, thinking Demon general can't capture all 4 Dragons, but then he actually got all 4, and the Jade emperor change his mind, since that's endanger the God Clan. The Demon general at first want to marry princess of God Clan for power and overthrow the God clan, but then later see and fall in love with the princess for real. So in the end, God clan and Demon Clan fight huge battles with the 4 dragons mess up the whole world, make another global flood. So 2 huge global floods. I told my gf this and she said your story is bullshit, my story of Noah is the real one, only things in the bible are the truth, everything else is bullshit....Don't indoctrinate children and force them to believe....

You don't need to wrap your mind around nonexistence: simply remember what it was like before you were born. Worrying about death makes as much sense as worrying about the billions of years before you were born. I get the desire to hope for something more, but to choose to "believe" in things you don't really think are true in the selfish hope that you will get eternal life is not something I think deserves to be painted in a positive light. A real, just, kind, loving god would not demand such nonsense, and would certainly not punish people for using the brains he gave them. It is abusive, manipulative, and undeniably *evil* to stake the fate of someone's eternal soul on whether or not they believe some dogma in spite of all evidence. If you really are only choosing belief due to the unknown/death, why do you choose Christianity over other religions? Why the specific denomination? Do you think it's just coincidence that religious faith is almost entirely determined by geography? Every other faith has exactly the same kinds of arguments for why theirs is true and yours is false. I don't mean to be harsh, and I also hope there is something more, but I just cannot fathom turning away from truth. I see no reason to believe any existing religion is accurate, even if there is something more. And if that being is all of the qualities modern new-testament-only style Christians claim, then people will end up where they belong regardless of their belief or faith. A good and just God is not compatible with eternal torment, or allowing punishment to be given to someone innocent to allow a guilty person to avoid consequences.

Generally speaking, it is kinda sad for all of us in that we even have to debate this God issue back and forth if even with ourselves. A nephew of mine who's mother passed while he was still in Elementary school came over this summer to a small family bbq and expressed his disappointment to me for being born at all. He wasn't being upset or bitter, he just casually let me know that basically he would've passed on life if given the choice. He was just 18 and had just graduated H.S. Of course I dug a bit into the "why" he felt this way? I listened and let him do the talking. He spoke about our short year's to live, our illnesses, danger's... A tall, good looking, very intelligent kid who was just given his first car as a graduation gift, and went through H.S with the expensive clothes and all that we "assume" a H.S kid wants. But I could see that although grateful and appreciative, none of that meant anything to him. I felt like I was conversing with a mature adult who wasn't mad, but just didn't care for this "gift of life". He actually thought this was all kinda stupid. I spoke of how we all may view life one way when we're young, but to keep an open mind to the possibility that our current view may change with life experiences such as marriage, kids... He asked "why would he want to bring others into this mess"? Again, not an upset or bitter kid outwardly. I can only imagine how his HUGE loss of his mom shaped his overall view? As a Secular Humanist I didn't try to encourage him with stories and promises that even I don't believe in, but I continued to encourage him to keep an open mind that his views may change later on?

All this research and you miss the two most glaring questions, answered in the Bible. 1. Why did the all-knowing, all-wise infallible God see fit to cause a global flood? 2. What were the results of his flood plan? 1) From Genesis 6:6 we discover, "God regretted making mankind." Therefore we can conclude additional questions, "How can an ALL-KNOWING being possibly have regrets?" "Does this verse suggest that, at any time since the creation of man, God did not see this whole flood thing coming?"" 2) By simply reading past the flood we quickly discover the world - and the people on it - became just as evil and wicked, if not much more so, then they were before the flood. Thus one must conclude the whole 'drown them all by global swimming pool' plan didn't work. Thus proving an all-wise, all-knowing infallible god was not pulling the stings here. At best, if god does exist, he is an incompetent, ignorant moron; prone to massive anger issues and a tendency for severe over-reaction. To quote Ricki Gervais, "What happened to two verbal and at least one written warning? Straight to genocide!" These two question not only disprove the flood myth, they disprove the validity of a belief in the Abrahamic god and destroys the basis of belief for All Jews, Christians and Muslims.

[@superclark07]

I take this comment was made by a 7 year old child was it? God not only waited hundreds of years for them to repent and knowing they won’t he decided to reset his creation, he knew this originally from the start, he loved us more than anything and that was why Jesus died for us even though he knew most people won’t ask or repent, he loved us as a sinner, if he truly had anger issues we wouldn’t exist right now and his final judgement on his creation will happen sometime soon. He is not ignorant and he won’t end it on a giant flood because he promised Noah he wouldn’t flood humanity like that again and all these questions this youtuber guy is asking is in the knowledge of humans, he cannot accept the fact that God is all powerful and has to question everything so he can understand the not understandable.

[@ATG11078]

If a god is all knowing, that means that there is no point in getting people to repent if he knows they’re not going to repent. Also going to either name calling or assuming that the commenter is a child is rather demeaning of you. Also your god is a literal supporter of slavery, or at least the Bible is. If he loves us A: why would he permit the owning, torture, and killing of his and other people along with the genocide of animals B: why does this god care if we worship him. Should he not care how his children treat his and other people more than his own praise. C: why can’t we question god. We are to just blindly follow him, and if we don’t, he’ll send us to hell. Also the main reason of this is to point the Bible is full of impossible tall tales, and how the tale of the Arc is nonsensical and impossible.

Not a JW, but a Christian. 1. A local flood dosnt make narrative sense for many reasons ill give one example. A. If it were local, just have the animals move. B. Many local floods happened in Bible days that would have nullified gods promise, Moses knew nile after all. C. A local flood could not cover the mountains of Ararat or any mountain. D. A local flood would not have solved gods problem of a sullied bloodline of mankind and fallen angels, Noah was "perfect" in his genealogy after all. Read: no hybrid demigods (nephlahim) 2. No proof of global flood? A. Polystrate tree fossils across the US continent link the entire geologic column to one event. Not only do we see them, but thanks to st Helen's explosion we know how they are formed, floods. B. Sediment does not lay down in stratagraphic layers, but diagonal to it. This observable reproducible phenomenon nullifies all current dating methods C. The mass of sea diatoms that make the huge chalk formations with fossils buried show not only that it was formed quickly, but also they were shunted together over a massive distance D. The Bible say the water of the flood came from BELOW GROUND, that the earth "cleaved" open. We can see this from the trench that encircles the earth under the oceans. E. Any gradeschooler can look at at the Atlantic Ocean and see the continents fit together in some pangia like formation, but nobody points out that you can actually do the same with the pacific side following the cracks under the ocean. You either have to assume the earth grew, or that intercontinental crust deflated, but as the radiating magnetic lines from the trench are contemporaries on both sides of the world, pangia is geometrically impossible -the lines would be marred. F. Coal layers on the geologic column join, this is consistent with an ebbing and flowing on continental sediment, but not possible with deep time laying of sedimentary layers. The geologic column was made in a short period of time. 3. Biology A. God says animals are created after their own Kind, this is not the same as species. Any species that has a gradation of being able to breed would be a "kind" B. Evolution is not true but adaptation CAN happen very fast. Look at the common pig/razorback, the stickleback fish, dog breeds. The difference between adaptation and Evolution is: Adaptation comes from preexisting data inherent to the creature. Dna has a libarerary of Millions of dormant situational modifications. This is not Evolution, its inbuilt design from the start. Evolution required deep time and mutation to create new structures. C. Do not conflate natural selection with Evolution. Evolution NEEDS natural selection, but not the other way around. N.s. is scientifically observable and a subtractive process, not a generative one. There so much more but the Bible is true. There was a time (1880's) Nineveh was though to be a fictional city, Israel was though to have a fictional dynasty, a prophetic chapter of iseah was though to have been added post jesus, dragons were thought to not be real. But then all of them eventually get unburied and the Bible is vindicated. Sorry about your turtle, don't go back to JW, but do trust in Jesus.

It doesn't have everything preencoded, for it it did then every single member of the species would just be the same. DNA changes and the blueprint itself changes. Even when I was Christian I understood this. DNA doesn't hold anything it isn't using, and making the argument that it can be those other traits due to it having the same building blocks, the different protein blocks, is about the same as saying all atoms are preencoded with everything already due to them being made with the same tiny bits.

[@DisticTV]

@@JoyRaptor I cant argue with a person who cant take evidence from one person, so here is some major events/stories that might make you rethink your “we are alone in the universe” opinion. 1: Here is an article from a major news station:
 But has modern science, from the beginning of the 20th century, proved that there is no God, as some commentators now claim? Science is an amazing, wonderful undertaking: it teaches us about life, the world and the universe. But it has not revealed to us why the universe came into existence nor what preceded its birth in the Big Bang. Biological evolution has not brought us the slightest understanding of how the first living organisms emerged from inanimate matter on this planet and how the advanced eukaryotic cells-the highly structured building blocks of advanced life forms-ever emerged from simpler organisms. Neither does it explain one of the greatest mysteries of science: how did consciousness arise in living things? Where do symbolic thinking and self-awareness come from? What is it that allows humans to understand the mysteries of biology, physics, mathematics, engineering and medicine? And what enables us to create great works of art, music, architecture and literature? Science is nowhere near to explaining these deep mysteries. But much more important than these conundrums is the persistent question of the fine-tuning of the parameters of the universe: Why is our universe so precisely tailor-made for the emergence of life? This question has never been answered satisfactorily, and I believe that it will never find a scientific solution. For the deeper we delve into the mysteries of physics and cosmology, the more the universe appears to be intricate and incredibly complex. To explain the quantum-mechanical behavior of even one tiny particle requires pages and pages of extremely advanced mathematics. Why are even the tiniest particles of matter so unbelievably complicated? It appears that there is a vast, hidden “wisdom,” or structure, or knotty blueprint for even the most simple-looking element of nature. And the situation becomes much more daunting as we expand our view to the entire cosmos. We know that 13.7 billion years ago, a gargantuan burst of energy, whose nature and source are completely unknown to us and not in the least understood by science, initiated the creation of our universe. Then suddenly, as if by magic, the “God particle”-the Higgs boson discovered two years ago inside CERN’s powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider-came into being and miraculously gave the universe its mass. Why did this happen? The mass constituted elementary particles-the quarks and the electron-whose weights and electrical charges had to fall within immeasurably tight bounds for what would happen next. For from within the primeval soup of elementary particles that constituted the young universe, again as if by a magic hand, all the quarks suddenly bunched in threes to form protons and neutrons, their electrical charges set precisely to the exact level needed to attract and capture the electrons, which then began to circle nuclei made of the protons and neutrons. All of the masses, charges and forces of interaction in the universe had to be in just the precisely needed amounts so that early light atoms could form. Larger ones would then be cooked in nuclear fires inside stars, giving us carbon, iron, nitrogen, oxygen and all the other elements that are so essential for life to emerge. And eventually, the highly complicated double-helix molecule, the life-propagating DNA, would be formed. Why did everything we need in order to exist come into being? How was all of this possible without some latent outside power to orchestrate the precise dance of elementary particles required for the creation of all the essentials of life? The great British mathematician Roger Penrose has calculated-based on only one of the hundreds of parameters of the physical universe-that the probability of the emergence of a life-giving cosmos was 1 divided by 10, raised to the power 10, and again raised to the power of 123. This is a number as close to zero as anyone has ever imagined. (The probability is much, much smaller than that of winning the Mega Millions jackpot for more days than the universe has been in existence.) The scientific atheists have scrambled to explain this troubling mystery by suggesting the existence of a multiverse-an infinite set of universes, each with its own parameters. In some universes, the conditions are wrong for life; however, by the sheer size of this putative multiverse, there must be a universe where everything is right. But if it takes an immense power of nature to create one universe, then how much more powerful would that force have to be in order to create infinitely many universes? So the purely hypothetical multiverse does not solve the problem of God. The incredible fine-tuning of the universe presents the most powerful argument for the existence of an immanent creative entity we may well call God. Lacking convincing scientific evidence to the contrary, such a power may be necessary to force all the parameters we need for our existence-cosmological, physical, chemical, biological and cognitive-to be what they are. Science and religion are two sides of the same deep human impulse to understand the world, to know our place in it, and to marvel at the wonder of life and the infinite cosmos we are surrounded by. Let’s keep them that way, and not let one attempt to usurp the role of the other. If you read all of that, congrats, now time for the miracle stories: 1: He said in 2017: “I woke up in the morning took my car in and commuted from New Jersey. “I got to the building and took the elevator all the way to the top - 47 storeys - and then climb onto the platform. Alcides Moreno Alcides Moreno fell from the 47th floor of the Solow Tower building Alcides Moreno Alcides Moreno is what doctors called a "miracle" I think God saved me, but I want to ask him ‘why me? What happened? Why?’ Maybe it was a second chance to keep going Alcides Moreno “I just grabbed the scaffold and held on until another cable snapped.” Mr Moreno then plunged 472ft, surviving only thanks to the platform he was working on getting lodged against a neighbouring building. He added: “The paramedics, they found me right in the middle, the scaffold snapped in half and was lodged between the two buildings. “It was right in the middle, they picked me up from there and took me to the hospital. “I didn’t wake up from a coma until December 24, right there in the bed and my wife was there. “I was [eventually] able to walk and everything, the doctor told me ‘you are a miracle’”. Alcides Moreno Mr Moreno's cable snapped whilewashing the windows The platform The platform plunged almost 500ft During the incident, Mr Moreno broke 10 bones, his lungs collapsed and he needed 43 pints of blood and plasma. Only half the people who fall from three storeys survive and from ten storeys almost no one does. However, Mr Moreno is not convinced what happened was a miracle, as his brother - Edgar - who was on the platform with him, did not survive. He continued: “I still don’t know [what I think happened]. “My brother is a big loss, we were really, really close. “I think God saved me, but I want to ask him ‘why me? What happened? Why?’ Maybe it was a second chance to keep going. “I am looking forward to finding out why.” An investigation into the accident found that the scaffolding had not been properly maintained and that new motorised cables, which attached the window washing platform to the building, had not been properly anchored to the roof. So explain to me how this is possible? I know you can’t, and this is solid enough evidence that there is a higher power in control, even if you dont like it! Now, we have to talk about the bible, in exodus it explains how moses and the Israelites went to mount sinai, but they recently discovered that the mountain was in saudi arabia, they found charred mountain top (where God came down) and they found pieces of an alter (when they created the cow since moses hadn’t come down in ages) I know you will try to come up with some sort of argument, but you cant because I just proved you wrong AGAIN, Then we have the whole moral aspect to talk about, if God isn’t real what makes killing someone wrong? because at the end of the day we all die, so why is killing 6 million people wrong? Unless you will get judged in the future for your actions, which proves the existence of God. This is alot of things to take in, and I hope this helps you actually understand there is more to the world then we are here then die.

My mother would always say that it's possible the story was just a parable. And since Jesus taught in parables, he still could have used the story as an example in his teachings. I love how religious people will pick and choose what they think is and isn't literal in The Bible when you start showing actual evidence to disprove the myths as... well... myths.

Jesus tells a story of Lazarus and a rich man. He mentions the rich man though dead is consciously being tormented and needing a drop of water to cool his tongue. Now was Jesus a liar or was it a parable. Same thing for Noah’s flood.

The thing is if God is all knowing, then he’d have known the Bible as we know it was written incredibly vague and open to interpretation. If there is a God, then he would have made sure the Bible was written in a way it couldn’t be so easily misinterpreted. He would also be foresee things like climate change or child abuse, which were basically foreign concepts back then, which is exactly why they weren’t included; the Bible was written by people, not a divine deity. I’m pretty sure if God exists, he would have told us take care of the earth, don’t abuse your kids, and don’t kill someone because they have different beliefs than you.

I've been a skeptic since I was 13; Deuteronomy turned me at that age. Over 20 years later and I've been on a spiritual journey seperate from the Bible or from any contemporary religion in general, more gnosticism than anything. That being said, historically, there are a couple of floods that could have been *the* flood mentioned, though they would have been localized and not worldwide. The off chance does exist that if a more wide spread event happened quickly and receded quickly, it would only show up as a gradual increase in water level over years.. simply as a thinking exercise, think about the end of the Younger Dryas, when JUST such a gradual increase - pretty quick actually - does occur. Then look at the channeled scablands in Washington as well as some of the ripples in the landscape of the Sahara, both are evidence of massive flooding. Long story short, I'm not saying a Biblical flood happened. What I AM saying is that there's plenty evidence of local floods that would have definitely seemed massive to people involved as well as the fact that the story of Noah is repeated in various forms across all cultures and religions. Again, that's not to say those stories are 100% factual. But you'd be a fool to think there's absolutely nothing to them.

The Israelite religion evolved out of the Canaanite religion. *Yahweh was some minor deity from the southern Levant who over time took on the imagery and attributes of the older mythical Canaanite deities El and Baal.* He only became the one "true" god when some Yahweh only Israelites pushed that agenda. Jews and Arabs Descended from Canaanites - Biblical Archaeology Society www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/ancient-cultures/ancient-near-eastern-world/jews-and-arabs-descended-from-canaanites/ Dr Christine Hayes who lectures on the Hebrew Bible at Yale University outlines this in lecture 7 from 30 min onwards. kzbin.info/www/bejne/npC4nqh7d9KGa80 Pagan Origins of Judaism kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHamlq2DjtqabsU Atheism: A History of God kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYu8Y5ibpN-XpZo Also, inscriptions were found in the form of blessings, referencing *"Yahweh and his Asherah."* Asherah was originally the wife of the Canaanite deity El, so the merging of Yahweh with El is obvious. www.seeker.com/amphtml/gods-wife-edited-out-of-the-bible-almost-1766083399.html *The Canaanite pantheon was conceived as a divine clan, headed by the supreme god El; the gods collectively made up the elohim. Through the centuries, the pantheon of Canaanite gods evolved, so that El and Asherah were more important in earlier times, while Baal and his consorts came to fore in later years.* *Asherah-early semitic Mother goddess, "Lady of the sea," *consort of El*, also called Athirat,**the mother of 70 gods*** ((Inscriptions were found in the form of blessings, referencing *"Yahweh and his Asherah."* Asherah was originally the wife of El according to the older Ugaritic/Canaanite texts. Baal was one of their sons)) *El-the chief deity, god of the sky, father of many lesser gods (including Baal) and ruler of the divine assembly, also worshiped by the Israelites* *El Elyon-Special title of El as "God most High"* The Book of Genesis itself describes the patriarch Abraham as a worshiper of El-also called El Shaddai and *El Elyon-building altars, offering sacrifices, and paying tithes to him.* www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Canaanite_Religion#Relationship_to_biblical_religion *Before the rise of Israel, Asherah was the wife of El, the head god of the Canaanite pantheon. According to the archeological evidence, the people who became Israelites were mostly native Canaanites who settled in the hills of what is now the West Bank, while it seems that small but influential groups also migrated there from the south in the Midian (in and around the Araba Valley in Sinai).* As the Bible itself testifies, that is where Yahweh veneration appears to have originated, and, in a process that in this respect resonates with the Moses story, *the migrants introduced Yahweh to the native Canaanites who were becoming Israelites.* **Over time, El declined and merged into Yahweh. As part of that process, Yahweh inherited Asherah from El as his wife.** www.google.com/amp/s/mythologymatters.wordpress.com/2014/10/06/yahwehs-divorce-from-the-goddess-asherah-in-the-garden-of-eden/amp/ *Many of these features of the god El will sound remarkably familiar to the astute reader of the Hebrew Bible because of their application to YHWH, the god of Israel.* The Ugaritic corpus, which *PREDATES* the vast majority of the writings of the Hebrew Bible by at least several centuries, is perhaps the most illuminating body of literature for the study of the Hebrew Bible because of its close thematic, linguistic, and stylistic connections to that corpus. Furthermore, the Ugaritic texts are the only texts from the ancient world that give us direct, native insight into the religious worldview of a society that worshiped many of the gods polemicized against in the Hebrew Bible, and most especially the god Baal and the goddess Asherah (Ugaritic Athirat). *In this case we are able to see that the ancient Israelites, as disclosed through the Hebrew Bible, appropriated a number of terms, themes, and titles from the god El in their portrayals of YHWH.* In contrast, there is no significant evidence that El was imagined as a warrior god like YHWH or Baal. *Moreover, like Baal, but entirely unlike El, YHWH is frequently associated with storm imagery.* Additionally, in much Israelite religious practice throughout the monarchic period, *YHWH had a divine consort, the goddess Asherah ((originally the wife of El according to the older Ugaritic/Canaanite texts)), the Hebrew equivalent of Ugaritic Athirat.[11]* www.patheos.com/blogs/faithpromotingrumor/2010/03/when-jehovah-was-not-the-god-of-the-old-testament-part-ii/amp/ When the *Most High [Hebrew: Elyon]* gave to the nations their inheritance, When he separated the children of men [Hebrew: Adam], He set the bounds of the peoples According to the number of the children of Israel. (Deuteronomy 32:8 , ASV) *According to the above passage, Elyon (title for El as "God Most High") (by the way, if you didn’t notice, this is not Yahweh) divided up the nations and set boundaries (borders) around them. These nations were "numbered" according to the "sons of Elohim."* Genesis chapter 10, commonly referred to as the "Table of Nations," lists the nations descended from Noah through his three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth. The total number of nations in this list is *seventy.* *((Refer back to my previous post where it states Asherah is the mother of 70 gods and wife of El))* The ancient city of Ugarit was discovered in 1928 in Syria. The height of the Ugaritic civilization was around the 12th Century BCE making them contemporaries with the Israelites. Also, the religion and language of the Ugarit people are very similar to that of the Israelites. Excavations of the site revealed an ancient library filled with clay tablets. *One such tablet states that El Elyon had seventy sons (the Elim) and each son was allocated to a specific people ((El and Asherah had 70 sons)). Many of these sons of El are mentioned by name, including El of Shaddai and El of Beriyt.* *Can you see the close parallels between Deuteronomy 32:8, Genesis 10 and the Ugarit tablets? According to these sources, Elyon divided up all the nations into* **seventy** *nations ((El and Asherah had 70 sons)), one for each of his sons (Elim). Not a very monotheistic view of Elohim is it?* sites.google.com/site/yahwehelohiym/sons-of-god/the-boundaries-of-the-nations When the *Most High (’elyôn)* gave to the nations their inheritance, when he separated humanity, he fixed the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of divine beings. For Yahweh’s portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage. There are two points to take away from this passage. First, the passage presents an apparently older mythic theme that describes when the divine beings, that is each deity in the divine counsel, were assigned and allotted their own nation. *Israel was the nation that Yahweh received. Second, Yahweh received his divine portion, Israel, through an action initiated by the god El, here identifiable through his epithet “the Most High.” In other words, the passage depicts two gods: one, the Most High (El), is seen as assigning nations to the divine beings or gods (the Hebrew word is elohim, plural “gods”) in his council; the other, Yahweh, is depicted as receiving from the first god, the Most High, his particular allotment, namely the people of Israel.* ((Here Yahweh is subordinate to El)) Similarly, in another older tradition now preserved in Numbers 21:29, the god Chemosh is assigned to the people of Moab. *Other biblical passages reaffirm this archaic view of Yahweh as a god in El’s council. Psalm 82:1 speaks of the “assembly of El,” Psalm 29:1 enjoins “the sons of El” to worship Yahweh, and Psalm 89:6-7 lists Yahweh among El’s divine council.* ((Yahweh is subordinate to El and is one of his sons)) Thus there seems to be ample evidence in the biblical record to support the claim that as Yahweh become the supreme national deity of the Israelites, he began to usurp the imagery, epithets, and old cultic centers of the god El. *This process of assimilation even morphed the linguistic meaning of the name El, which later came to mean simply “god,” so that Yahweh was then directly identified as ’el-thus Joshua **22:22**: “the god of gods is Yahweh” (’el ’elohim yhwh).* ((El became a generic term for God after they got merged together)) contradictionsinthebible.com/are-yahweh-and-el-the-same-god/ When the *Most High* divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel. For the Lord’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance. *Some scholars who have used the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Septuagint to reconstruct the authentic version of the verse say that “children of Israel” was stuck in as a replacement for “sons of El.” With that lost phrase restored, a verse that was cryptic suddenly makes sense: El-the most high god, Elyon-divided the world’s people into ethnic groups and gave one group to each of his sons ((El and Asherah had 70 sons)). And Yahweh, one of those sons, was given the people of Jacob.* Apparently at this point in Israelite history (and there’s no telling how long ago this story originated) *Yahweh isn’t God, but just a god-and a son of God, one among many.* ((Here Yahweh is subordinate to El and is one of his sons)) *So how does Yahweh rise through the ranks? How does a god initially consigned to a lower level of the pantheon eventually merge with the chief god, El, and even, in a sense, supplant him? …* evolutionofgod.net/question_israelite

In other words, the original texts are inerrant, and translations participate in that inerrancy, but it is possible that we do not know what we are reading or how to read it.

You either have to assume the earth grew, or that intercontinental crust deflated, but as the radiating magnetic lines from the trench are contemporaries on both sides of the world, pangia is geometrically impossible -the lines would be marred. F. Coal layers on the geologic column join, this is consistent with an ebbing and flowing on continental sediment, but not possible with deep time laying of sedimentary layers. The geologic column was made in a short period of time. 3. Biology A. God says animals are created after their own Kind, this is not the same as species. Any species that has a gradation of being able to breed would be a "kind" B. Evolution is not true but adaptation CAN happen very fast. Look at the common pig/razorback, the stickleback fish, dog breeds. The difference between adaptation and Evolution is: Adaptation comes from preexisting data inherent to the creature. Dna has a libarerary of Millions of dormant situational modifications. This is not Evolution, its inbuilt design from the start. Evolution required deep time and mutation to create new structures. C. Do not conflate natural selection with Evolution. Evolution NEEDS natural selection, but not the other way around. N.s. is scientifically observable and a subtractive process, not a generative one. There so much more but the Bible is true. There was a time (1880's) Nineveh was though to be a fictional city, Israel was though to have a fictional dynasty, a prophetic chapter of iseah was though to have been added post jesus, dragons were thought to not be real. But then all of them eventually get unburied and the Bible is vindicated. Sorry about your turtle, don't go back to JW, but do trust in Jesus.

[@jwrosenbury]

@@elizabethhylton3904 The study of truth, alethiology is sometimes thought synonymous with epistemology, the study of knowledge. This area of philosophy has been studied as long as mankind has existed. Yet we still haven't answered such basic questions like, "Is it possible to know something?" So if you have some sort of absolute truth, please tell us. It has been a goal of humanity's for thousands of years. Religion is a shared delusion that allows humans to pretend we know stuff. And by sharing a religion, it becomes truth of a sort. It allows us to understand one another and communicate. It allows us to survive. To what extent this shared delusion is actually true depends on the person's core beliefs about what truth is. Your statement, "You need no bias to recognize logic." itself shows bias. It leads me to suspect that you naively think science and logic are true (which implies religion is false). That is itself a modern form of religion. Anyone who has studied the nature of science would disagree with the idea that it provides truth, unless they were a cargo cultist, which most people who believe in science are. (The term "cargo cult science" was first used by physicist Richard Feynman during his 1974 commencement address at the California Institute of Technology.) BTW, science is the application of the scientific method. It deals with facts, not truth. Logic deals with something it calls truth, but that is a carefully defined, binary (usually) statement, and not at all what most people mean by "true". Yes, both logic and science are used by people to determine truth. But trial by ordeal was used to determine truth in the past. Is one better than the other? Well, I do like my cell phone, automobile, and jet travel. But I would not be using the term "absolute truth" with either of them.

One question I've always had was what happened to the marine reptiles such as the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and the mosasaurs? I remember studying these animals in school and asking my parents why don't they exist today. I was told that God used the flood to get rid of dinosaurs. Although marine reptiles such as the ichthyosaurs are technically not dinosaurs since they've evolved from a different ancestor, on that same line of reasoning why would they supposedly disappear during the flood? Makes no sense. Surely a flood wouldn't cause massive aquatic reptiles to die considering that they thrive in water. So why dont they exist today? I never got an answer to that. Also on another note, are we really to believe that all the ethnicities that exist today came from 1 family and their incestuous ties? Even the whole premise of Noah preaching about a downpour when the very nature of heavy rain was a foreign concept to people living then seems brutally unfair. How could a loving God cause the destruction of not only grown men, but women and children for not believing in something they've never seen before?? It's like telling people that the sky will fall. And then taking their lives because they ignore you. INSANE.
