Where is the evidence what was written in the letter is true?
In the closure.

The secretary puts his/her initials on it.

The recipient of the letter understands it came from the boss, and the boss himself is responsible for its contents.

Then, if the letter stands up to historical scrutiny, it can be deemed legit.

In the case of your wife, we know who penned the document and we know who told her what to put in the document and we can question the parties for verification and use outside verification.

In the case of the gospels, good luck doing the same.

Can you just for once not derail the topic of a thread? Please contribute to the subject of the thread. It shouldn't be hard since it is something you believe in.
It takes at least two to derail a thread, chief.

Please don't single me out.

That's rude.

He did once upon a time but then promised never to promote his embedded age ideas. Done and dusted.

I mentioned you because you because you initiated it and have an extensive history of doing this in every thread in which you participate. If my request asking you to stay on topic and contribute to the thread topic offends you, I would suggest reporting me.

I mentioned you because you because you initiated it ...
I beg your pardon?

I was responding to specific questions here:
I have always found that to be an . . . . interesting comment. If I replaced the word God with Thor in that same passage, and you read it, would you become a believer in Thor? Probably not, right? If it wouldn't convince you to believe in a god you presently don't believe in, why do you think it would convince us?

Then my apology. And I will ask everyone to please stay on topic. But honestly, who actually started mentioning off topic things first. You, loudmouth, or someone else? Just wondering.

Evolution News and Views is a website run by professional creationists who lie for a living. You need to find some real scientific sources.
My feeling is that there is both intentional and accidental misinformation of both sides on this issue. Don’t lay all the blame on creationists. When I have time to do this, I try to listen to both sides of this controversy.

'According to the bible'... are words that can precede any old cobblers, and your quote is a case in point.
Jesus did respect the inspired Word of the Bible writers. I know who Jesus Christ is, but I have no idea who you are. Why should I ignore a well known authority and replace it with your opinion?

You should know, there really is no controversy among the experts. All perceived "controversy" is simply the dust kicked up by cdesign proponentsists, nothing more. Just because someone makes a claim, doesn't necessarily make it valid. You actually have to have valid reasons.

Here is some additional information with some specifics I hope you will understand.
Thanks for your posting! Since I am not a trained scientist, I have no option but to take what you said by faith.

There's no way you can claim to know a man who reportedly lived 2k years ago. Jesus didn't write anything down, so all you're left with is what was written by men making claims about Jesus.

And your views are not "Christian views". Most Christians worldwide accept the theory of evolution.
Jesus Christ did believe that Adam and Eve were real individuals created by God. I do share his beliefs, and you are questioning my Christianity?

There is no "Gap Theory". That is an abuse of the word "Theory".

Here is the dictionary definition of theory:

“an idea or set of ideas that is intended to explain facts or events


: an idea that is suggested or presented as possibly true but that is not known or proven to be true


: the general principles or ideas that relate to a particular subject”


This means that I did use the term correctly. You are trying to hold me to a specialized use of this term.

But there is no "evidence of design".
Yes, there is! I’ll give you a couple of examples: Human DNA, and the fine tuning of the universe. There is no way of evolution to have produced this evidence by mere chance.

Evolution has had a monopoly on education for centuries now and it has failed to convince people that there is no God. Nearly 90 percent of Americans still believe in the existence of an entity responsible for life and the universe.
