That is what I said. A cat and a dog can not breed. Kind is defined in Genesis.

Genesis 1:24
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
So give an example of a "kind".

Is a man walking on water...."logically possible"?

How about a man speaking to a storm, commanding it to stop.. and it stops?
or... a man taking 5 buns and two fish... and feeding more than 5000 people with 12 baskets of left overs?
Would any of these miracles left evidence behind?

Believing God can do what He said He did and man interpreting God's Word correctly are two wildly different things.

Of course it's absurd. Michelangelo didn't give paint self-awareness and intelligence as God did to us.

Yet, that's what we do. We claim, as the creation, to know more than the creator, who has told us exactly what He did.
Of course we don't do that. We claim the the evidence God left behind disagrees with certain interpretations of His Word.

“When there is a conflict between a proven truth about nature and a particular reading of Scripture, an alternative reading of Scripture must be sought."~St. Augustine

You do realize that a mini canyon, much like the Grand Canyon, was formed in hours when Mt St Helen erupted.....right?
The Mt. St. Helen's canyon is nothing like the Grand Canyon save the are both big ditches in the ground.

Worldwide flood stories differ significantly from each other. If Noah and the other seven people on the Ark are all the survived, how do we have flood accounts written by other tribes?

Do you have any references for these claims?

Is it not enough that every culture has a story of a massive flood... then.. that our creator told us exactly what took place?
If the Flood covered the entire earth, then there should be no other flood stories from other cultures as no other cultures would have survived to write down the stories.

Empty tomb, existence of the church, eyewitnesses willing to die for it...
Is the empty tomb or the witnesses described anywhere outside the Bible?

How is the existence of the church historical proof of the Resurrection?

Yes, in many first century writings.

Church is based on the fact of His Resurrection. Before He rose from the death, there was no church, apostles were hiding and afraid.

Also, there are two billlions of Christians 2000 years later, saying that they have personal relationship with living Christ.

By whom? Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Paul were all 1st century writers. So were many of the writers of the Apocrypha. Are there others outside of Christianity's founders?

The church is based on the belief in His Resurrection. That isn't historical proof, that's faith.

Also, there are two billlions of Christians 2000 years later, saying that they have personal relationship with living Christ.
Again, that's faith, not historical proof of anything.

Maybe we have two different understandings of what "historical proof" means. To me finding the Temple of Solomon is historical proof that the Solomon's Temple described in the Bible existed. It is not historical proof that Solomon once advised two women to settle their dispute of motherhood of a child by cutting the child in half.

I would respond to your posts. However, you know everything already and are entrenched in your own truth.

God Bless.

Early Christian Writings: New Testament, Apocrypha, Gnostics, Church Fathers

But it would be difficult and time consuming to collect just places about his resurrection.
The church is based on the belief in His Resurrection. That isn't historical proof, that's faith.
I would say its an evidence. Not a proof, not just a faith in something invented. Could Church exist without the resurrection in the beginning?

Good. The post wasn't directed to you and your mind reading abilities anyway.
