When I have a bit more time I will read through this. So this is not a Multiple Trips Theory? Has all the pertinent information been included with nothing omitted?

Could you give a starting point definition for what you mean by those 2 terms?

Fairy Nuff.

I think we should live by rules based on secular humanism but not so many rules that wellbeing is affected.

Evolution has a lot of self-supporting evidence whereas your assertion does not. What's wrong with being liberal? Do you prefer totalitarianism?

Another thought has occurred to me. What do Christians make of the Apochrypha - gospels written at around the same time as the accepted gospels - the Gospel of Peter/ Thomas? If there had been a fifth Gospel then we could have had a fifth trip by the women to the tomb. Would they have been...

Demonstrate my alleged contradiction. You won't be able to. In 1994 I believed The God of the Bible existed. I then became aware of information which cast doubt on that belief. By 1995 I no longer believed that a God existed. I had made a mistake through my own naivety and gullibility. That is all.

Not every atheist believes that e.g Raillians. However, from what I know about evolutionary processes, the human brain is possibly the most complex end result thus far from evolution although there are other end results such as bacteria or amoeba which haven't changed much over millions of...

Would you care to demonstrate this mathematically for me? You won't be able to. Even if you believed you had proved that the Universe has to have an all-powerful deity behind it, there is still a long long way to go to prove it also wrote the Bible. In Genesis, it can't even get the order of...

My departure from the UK (and therefore this thread) has been delayed for a short while but I am pretty sure I will be leaving sooner rather than later. Maybe at a moment's notice. I am conscious that I probably have very little time left and it would be a shame if I was unable to respond to...

Now where has that Klingon-Earth Dictionary gone? I'm sure I put it down on my desk somewhere...

Either you haven't read a single word I have written or you don't understand what an axiom is. My axioms are: 1. I, as a thinking entity, exist. 2. The Laws of Logic are self-attesting truths due to the impossibility of the contrary.

० And now we go down the rabbit hole of Solipsism. The last desperate refuge of a Christian who cannot honestly present a case for their faith.

If God has blinded me to the truth then it really is his responsibility for everything that happens as a consequence of that. Maybe he is using me to test your faith? Who knows?

Thank you for sharing the what and the why of your belief. In terms of the why - have you not considered the possibility that New Testament scholars read Old Testament scriptures and prophecies? In which case it can hardly be considered a fulfilled prophecy if the events did not happen. Its just...

I believed I had a relationship with God. You don't know you have a relationship with God because I suspect you would be unable to demonstrate that to an unbeliever. I would take council from the God character in the Bible if it was wise. Very often it isn't.

And yet here we are on this thread. Myself versus dozens of what could be the best Christians in the world supported allegedly by an all-knowing Universe-creating deity. And yet I am finding it alarmingly easy to dismantle your declarations.

I have never claimed that. I dont know if there is an afterlife or not. All the evidence I have is that I am an animal not too disimilar from my pet dog and the myriad of other creatures this planet is teeming with. All you are doing, as I have repeatedly pointed out, is trying to find something...

The Dictionary definition of "trust" is something like "having guaranteed reliance on something." Trust is 100% certainty built up as a history of past transactions. I need independent verification sometimes from others or a scientific method to be sure. What you are talking about is...

I wondered when we would get to that old chestnut Romans 1 about "being without excuse." I don't have excuses for disbelief. I have good reasons. If your God had any intelligence at all he would understand that. And if I don't know the answer I admit it. Unlike Christians who seem to jump on the...
