    Since we're having difficult with the situation as it is let's not confuse and obscure with hypotheticals. Sorry, science doesn't ultimately know where zebras come from it can only speculate on their ultimate origin and that speculation by definition is limited to natural versus supernatural...

    Your hypothetical "suppose" we find "genuine" documents is presupposing way too much. How are we to "prove" these documents are genuine? What method is there to prove these documents over the documents we already have regarding the validate of the resurrection. No refresher needed. Science...

    Again, it is totally illogical and totally out of character for the writers of the gospels to claim a virgin birth if it didn't take place. Sighting the insanity of Hitler or a misjudgment in a battle during the Civil War has no connection logically or as an issue of character with what we're...

    Correct, there is nothing that is going to change my mind because what I know about God and my relationship with Him is only partially based in things you know with your intellect. It's a knowing and experience of Him that encompasses mind and spirit. Hold up...you said science isn't separate...

    lucapa My "knowing" of Jesus isn't totally based on "documents" it's based on a personal relationship with Him. I have known Him as the loving, mercy Savior who cleansed me from my sins, filled my life with joy, peace and meaning. No discover of new documents can change that. God created a...

    Furthest Galaxies seen! Maybe too structured for its age.

    Seriously, I have always been fascinated with science. I very much admire those that have a deep understanding of this fundamental issues of physics. One of the most enjoyable books I've read recently was "The Elegant Universe." One of the intriguing statements in this book (it is not written by...

    ab1385 The poll question really isn't that clear. Would you change your mind about what based on what? There is nothing man can provide as "evidence" that would ever convince me that Jesus Christ isn't who He claimed to be, Savior of mankind and Lord of Lords. There is nothing science can...

    lucaspa I keep repeating myself because you keep making erroneous statements. ALL of the testimonies I linked to were people who had a dramatic moment in time conversion experience similiar to my own. The ones you sighted did not. I'll stop repeating my objection when you stop repeating your...

    Furthest Galaxies seen! Maybe too structured for its age.

    Captian Jack I understand the partical/wave nature of light and I also understand that the speed of light in a vacuum is constant. But these scientist have shown that under certain conditions the speed of light can be increased, other experiments have shown that the speed of light may have...

    Furthest Galaxies seen! Maybe too structured for its age.

    Captian_Jack_Sparrow This isn't the only data that suggest the speed of light is not constant. Also, the inflation problem is a well understood issue in cosmology and does strongly suggest a period of time in which particles traveled faster then the speed of light. If the speed of light isn't...

    Captain_Jack_Sparrow I'm not sure which aspect of the article you're talking about but the horizon/inflation problem is well known among cosmologist and the engineers and scientist at NEC claim to have accelerated light: http://science.howstuffworks.com/news-item6.htm

    Furthest Galaxies seen! Maybe too structured for its age.

    I recently read an article that discussed light that traveled faster that the standard 186,000 miles per second. I don't know how much faster but the article was primarily related to the consistency of background radiation through the universe and the requirement that causal contact exist to...

    Gay Marriage and Science

    "Unless you can show that homosexuality is a new phenomenon, your logical house of cards will fall every time. Your argument rests on the assumption that homosexuality is new." My argument doesn't rest on homosexuality is new. How long a dysfunction has existed doesn't change the fact that it...

    Gay Marriage and Science

    One of the problems with these discussions is that those that view homosexuality a benign, alternative lifestyle, way of living, etc. begin building the foundation of their argument on the second floor. They never address the fundamentally abnormal nature of homosexuality including its natural...

    Gay Marriage and Science

    Volos I don't agree that procreation isn't the most important aspect of sex. Yes, there are other benefits but without procreation we cease to exist. And you have provided any evidence that heterosexuality or homosexuality ISN'T a choice. How or why people have a certain disposition is...

    Gay Marriage and Science

    Volos Whether your "significant number" is accurate or not really isn't the point. One of the primary aspects of our sexuality and one of the essential forces in nature is procreation. Whether or not the sexual act produces offspring doesn't change the fact that natures way is heterosexual...

    Notto "The behavior that is destructive would certainly be reduced if we could foster an institution within the gay community that focused on committment, and life long monogomy." The "behavior" that is destructive is homosexuality itself not just some of the practices of homosexuals...
