@@asix9178 so 500 witnesses isn’t enough or how about multiple people who knew Jesus Christ personally and testified of his resurrection and would have known if he was still dead or not? Why would they lie because they would have known and yet they died for there faith.

@@asix9178 it can be hard being a Christian. I've rarely experienced God in any way that I see as a miracle. And I wasn't there when Jesus was resurrected. So my testimony is weak. I have to research and learn the testimony of those who have experienced more. I would like to one day have experienced something extraordinary.

@Qwaurk. Errr, apples and oranges. Science is a method to try and understand the natural world and it is reliable. The best thing about science is that anyone around the world can do it. Science does not deal the supernatural. Is Spider-Man real because the comic book is evidence? Can I use the comic book to prove it? See how that works? Using new knowledge to update a current perception is wrong? Did you learn anything in school or from other people and then modify a view you had? Did you ever investigate anything yourself and find out something you didn't know before with the outcome of realizing you were wrong about what you thought to be true?The bible hasn't changed but I bet you interpret it and therefor change it. No one agrees that it is good to own people as property or beat people. Do you?

Is Evolution scientific?

Are you asking if the Theory of Evolution has developed through the use of the Scientific Method?

I hope you've read the replies. Science is not validated by science. It is actually logic and reason that validate science. You can ask how do we know logic is valid. Logic can be shown to be true empirically with proofs. So science is founded upon proof..... and the Bible is founded upon.... The Bible.

The Bible says the Earth is set upon pillars and cannot be moved, is that accurate? Science tells us that's not accurate, religion tells us it is because it cannot change.

If I write the Book of Brian and then use the Book of Brian to prove the Book of Brian, would that be valid? (YES/NO)

@@malirk LOL that's not how it works, first does the book of Brian make accurate predictions that come true hundreds of times century's before they happen, does the book of predict the rise and fall of nations that have not been created yet, you see the bible has proved itself true, it has been attacked for thousands of years by all peoples and has come out on top, I can go on and on but I recommend you research it for yourself, I doubt you would believe me. Check out a series here on youtube called "learn the bible in 24 hours" hosted by Chuck Missler, its very insightful and a good starting point. Seek honestly and see what you find.

@@TheSkullReviews It actually does. It was claimed to have been written in 80 AD but the authorship is anonymous. The book even predicts Trump being elected in 2016 and names him specifically! Interestingly enough, the Bible makes prophecy that people actively worked towards. I don't find it convincing when a prophecy is something people know about and then they TRY to make happen to claim it is a prophecy. I like my book that names someone by name (specifically) then names them winning an election in a specific year in a specific country. So in my book it accurately predicts multiple things that people had no idea of back then. Furthermore, let's ask a big question (PLEASE ANSWER) - *If a prophecy comes true, does that tell us anything about WHY it came true?*

@@malirk *I guess he isn't honest enough to admit that a prediction coming true, does NOT tell us anything about why it came true. He also can't tell us HOW he determined the predictor wasn't a time traveler.*

"is the equivalent of saying you can’t use books about evolution, to prove evolution" *Which is true! You can't prove evolution with a book. You EVIDENCE it with EVIDENCE.* "It was proving the resurrection that is recorded in the Bible." *He failed miserably to prove the claim from the Buybull of a resurrection.* "he admits his atheism prevents him from believing it no matter how good the evidence is" *No, he didn't. What a ridiculous accusation. Then again, you are a theist.*

asix When it comes to evolution, it is an attempt to explain the data or evidence pertaining to the history of life. The data is interpreted with the assumptions that evolution were true.Any data that contradicts or conflicts with it is ignored, assumed to be misinterpreted or by claiming our current understanding of evolution is in sufficient to explain all the data.The vast amounts of evidence that we should find but don’t is explained away by conveniently claiming to have a record of life that goes back billions of years while simultaneously claiming the reason we don’t find the claimed common ancestors and the evidence of population numbers that would prove the claims because fossilization is such are rare occurrence.If fossilization is such an anomalous event, surely they wouldn’t derive a theory based on anomalies, would they? Then they claim DNA is the evidence that proves the theory. That is strange that we don’t have the fossil evidence but somehow we have genetic evidence of billions of years.We don’t. Not even anything close. We have very limited genetic evidence going back thousands of years.So we have a lot of assumptions and extrapolations based on anomalies.So what is the real undeniable proof of evolution? Listing similarities and fantasizing, I mean theorizing stories that make the claims seem possible.Evolution is next to impossible to consider proven beyond a reasonable doubt, Therefore your ability to reason is debatable. Now the debate was not the idiotic claim of proving the Bible. The debate was proving the resurrection. What evidence do we have? Multiple eyewitness accounts that confirm the resurrection. What evidence did you expect to have? What are the possibilities pertaining to evidence of the event? You seem to have no problems accepting assumptions based on anomalies, similarities, extrapolations and admittedly fabricated fictional tales when you accept the theory of evolution.Like I said about the other guy you base your beliefs on your emotional attachment to atheism.Thats completely fine, but it is hardly rational. To further illustrate my point is the likelihood you accept essentially every other historical claim that doesn’t pertain to the life of Christ regardless of the evidence for it. Further more you seem to think theism is an irrational belief. The reality is that about 3% of the world thinks atheism is a rational worldview. When a person who holds such a radical view of the world and thinks that practically the entire world is irrational except this fringe cult of atheists, it seems justified to think they are suffering from a delusion or extremely confused or brainwashed.I could only suggest you stop basing your beliefs on your personal emotions and start being more rational and consistent about how you decide on what to believe. If you think your atheistic worldview is rational and justified please don’t hesitate to let me know. Maybe the rest of the world just hasn’t seen your evidence or logical reason for your atheism.It must be really convincing if you think 90% of the world is wrong and your right. Thanks for having the courage to share your emotionally derived opinions with me.It was fascinating.

What eyewitnesses?

Not in and of itself. If they keep reprinting Harry Potter for a thousand years and it doesn’t change that doesn’t mean it is true. It just means it is uncorrupted by time. The point about it not changing is that one of the most common arguments against belief in Christianity is that the Bible has been corrupted over time so Christians shouldn’t believe what is said in the Bible. However, the evidence shows the opposite to be true. That doesn’t prove Christianity to be true but it does eliminate a common argument as to why it isn’t true. That taken with other arguments, such as the historical authenticity of the Bible and what it says about Jesus’ death and resurrection, the fulfillment of prophesy, the argument for free will leading to God, intelligent design, the moral argument, etc. give evidence for the truth of the Bible. I myself do believe that the Bible is the true word of God and believe Jesus to be my Savior, that he died on the cross to save humanity of their sins and rose from the dead. I had many decades where I did not believe that to be the case. However, I agree with Mike’s statement that rational conversations about Christianity tend to lead people to Christ. The evidence is honestly overwhelming considering the time period. I encourage you to look into all the evidence with an open mind to determine whether or not something is true and has inherent value based on your own research. Jesus loves you! ❤

Sabbath was meant point us to what God has done for us, not to enslave us Col 2:16 and Romans 14:5-6... if you want to Celebrate the Sabbath on a particular day then that is okay, I find that a Christian can rest on what Jesus Christ did for us everyday. Gal 4:8... Paul's concerns for the Galatians is that they are making the celebrations a law. Romans 6:14 we are no longer under law, but under grace Heb 4... If you believe then you have entered God's rest, Jesus Christ Heb 10... establishes that Jesus fulfilled all the OT law Luke 22... Christians are under a New Covenant New Covenant, Ezekiel 11:19 + 36:26; Jeremiah 31:33; Heb:8:10...We now have the Spirit of Christ living in us. Romans 8:2... For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from sin and death
