Please take note that billions and billions, now, and past, have believed in God and the Christ. There must be some reason why we believe in it, no?

Ok, first off, I'm am not going to be able to totally disprove Evolution....If I did that, I'd be famous...because I would have just put down a popular theory down the drain lol. I don't think that's going to happen by myself. But here ya go, reply back when you're done with the following:
1. Irreducible Complexity in microbiological processes.
2. Polonium-218 Halos in primordial granite
3. Astronomical probabilities calculated as necessary for the simplest proteins to form (not enough time).
4. Fossil Record
5. Existence of information more complicated than a computer language encoded in DNA requires an author.
6. Genetics, i.e. losses always involved in mutations, fatality rate when mutations occur.
7. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
Run, rabbit, run....
What a farce! What you fail to address is that the light CONTINUES TO COME to the earth! And it does so with a constant velocity! So, with a simple calculation, I can see that the light I see NOW, TODAY, emanating from that distant star MUST have originated billions of years ago. Your ridiculous image of your god taking an instantaneous 'snapshot' and zapping it to us at the moment of creation DOESN'T explain why we CONTINUE to see that light streaming to us now!
Learn some science.......
you there! i've been waiting for you. answer the OP.If you believe in evolution, please explain where Geococcyx californianus came from, when there weren't any roads yet.
Okay.you there! i've been waiting for you. answer the OP.
The Bible is God's Autobiography....then why should we believe it? Because the Bible said so? That begs the question, why should we believe the Bible?
Okay. The Bible is God's Autobiography.
It is the only Writing on the face of the earth that got here supernaturally. No other writing even comes close.
Which kings actually penned biblical books? Can you prove they wrote the books you attribute to them? How? For instance, why are the stories supposedly centered around the time of David more like the style of much later Assyrian court literature as might have been the mode during a much later monarch? Why do these stories mention locations of more importance during later eras? (I recommend the book "David and Solomon" by Finkelstein and Silber for a more thorough examination of the archaeology of the David and Solomonic kingdoms, it's been a while since I read it, so I don't have that many factoids in my head right now).Consider these facts:
- Written over a period of 1500 years.
- In 3 languages, on 3 continents.
- By some 40+ subauthors.
- Who had various vocations from husbandmen to fig pickers to kings.
And yet, despite all the above variables, It fits together like a hand in a glove, as if It had one single Author.
Consider also the mathematical (divine?) layout of the Old Testament today:
The Old Testament consists of 39 books, arranged as follows:
- 17 [historical] --- 5 [poetical] --- 17 [prophetical]
Further subdivided as follows:
Note: in the five books by the major prophets, you have Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel. Let's look at this "fulcrum":
- 5 [books of Moses] --- 12 [books of history]
- 5 [books of poetry]
- 5 [books by major prophets] --- 12 [books by minor prophets]
Book of Lamentations consists of 5 chapters, as follows:
- Chapter 1 = 22 verses
- Chapter 2 = 22 verses
- Chapter 3 = 66 verses
- Chapter 4 = 22 verses
- Chapter 5 = 22 verses
And speaking of Canaan, we can further break the 12 historical and 12 prophetical books down into 9 + 3 by considering pre and post-Canaan writings.
Perfect mathematical divine balance in just the Old Testament alone.

Aggressive Cat is agressive, Self-Fulfilling Prophecy is self fulfilling. Fascinating.And here's the kicker --- It generated a nation of people who, by all practical purposes, should not be in existence today, and even wrote the history of their nation in advance.
Unless you think it was beyond the grasp of the Bible's writers to add and divide two-digit numbers, I don't see your point.Consider also the mathematical (divine?) layout of the Old Testament today:

Let's look at this "fulcrum":
Book of Lamentations consists of 5 chapters, as follows:
The two major prophets before Lamentations are pre-Caanan writings.
- Chapter 1 = 22 verses
- Chapter 2 = 22 verses
- Chapter 3 = 66 verses
- Chapter 4 = 22 verses
- Chapter 5 = 22 verses
The two major prophets after Lamentations are post-Caanan.
And speaking of Canaan, we can further break the 12 historical and 12 prophetical books down into 9 + 3 by considering pre and post-Canaan writings.

You better don't, or someone might bring up the Quran's preservation.And the Bible's preservation over the centuries? I won't even go there.

No, better to use the Bhagavad Gita. Hinduism is older than Christianity, Islam is younger.
Beats me, probably as much as it appears in the Bible. Numbers are easy to manipulate, it just may require some highly contorted reasoning. Not that it matters when you've already decided that you are right no matter what.But how many times does the number 17 show up in relation to the Bhagavad Gita?
But in the immortal words of the great one:
"Buy the new Bhagavad Gita
Do the pranayama 'til your spine gets sore
I'll tell you for free
'Cause God told me
We checked it with the Pope and so we all agree
I'm on my knees, one question please
Will the real God please sit down?"-TR "Eastern Intrigue"
Who care? All followers of the TRUE RELIGION know that 42 is the only significant number as you obviously know from your previous post. The evidence mounts!But how many times does the number 17 show up in relation to the Bhagavad Gita?
WOW! Ressurection occurs 42 times in the New CovenantWho care? All followers of the TRUE RELIGION know that 42 is the only significant number as you obviously know from your previous post. The evidence mounts!
Or just one Version/Translation of it.See kids, this is what happens to you when you start worshiping a book instead of the God the book talks about.
Just say no to idolatry.
So long and thanks for all theWOW! Ressurection occurs 42 times in the New Covenant
Strong's Number G386 matches the Greek ἀνάστασις (anastasis).
AV resurrection 39, rising again 1, that should rise 1, raised to life again + 1537 1 42 TIMES in NT.

Luke 2:34 And blesses them, Simon, and said toward Mariam, the mother of Him, "Lo, this-one is set/lying for the Falling and Ressurection/ana-stasin <386> in many to-the Israel, and into a Sign spoken against"-- [Ezekiel 37 "valley of the bones"]
Reve 20:5 The rest of the dead-ones not live until should be being finished the thousand years. This the Resurrection/ana-stasiV <386>, the First.
