Ignoring The Evidence : Why Are You Not An Evolutionist?

[newhopeinHim]

This being a discussion and debate forum pertaining to the Physical and Life Sciences, I'm just wondering; do you have any contributions pertaining that you wish to make?

I already have

Apparently I'm an astrophysicist because I believe the moon orbits the Earth.

As an astrophysicist you are not subject to gravity? How cool is that?

 

[Crowns&Laurels]

No, you'd be an astrophysicist if you earned a Ph.D. in astrophysics and currently work in a related field.

And you'd be an evolutionist if you earned a Ph.D and worked in the field of evolutionary biology.

Apparently you missed the boat on that convo.

 

[newhopeinHim]

Ok, here goes.

God, I sincerely ask you to show me who you say you are!

*how long should I wait for a reply?

Smart Alec

This would suggest that your suggestion was hyperbolic fluff?

You asked me to sincerely ask, and I did.

Roman Tacitus writes about Jesus as Christus, Christ!

[UCDavis]

Jesus did not have the surname of "Christ". Historians may have written about a man named "Jesus". They did not write about "Jesus Christ".

Roman Tacitus wrote about Jesus as Christus, The Christ!

"However, Richard Carrier has suggested that the line mentioning Christ by name is a Christian interpolation."

Got anything else?

uh, look up the word (sincerely) I'm almost positive you were NOT sincere... other wise you would have already been saved.

LOL!

Yep, sincere. I guess that would mean I'm "saved?"

Now what?

 

[newhopeinHim]

Yep, sincere. I guess that would mean I'm "saved?"

Now what?

your not saved... that's obvious

Jesus saves, but Toews scores on the rebound.

 

[newhopeinHim]

were you in some kind of accident some time in your life?

"However, Richard Carrier has suggested that the line mentioning Christ by name is a Christian interpolation."

This is correct. I just finished Carrier's scholarly tome (over 700 pages) - "On The Historicity Of Jesus" - and based on his research, at this point in time, Carrier doesn't believe that there was a literal, historical, Jesus, but that Jesus fits that category of a classic Rank-Raglan mythotype dying and rising deity. In fact, the Jesus mythotpe scored just as high and in most cases higher than other known mythotypes.

As for Tacitus, he was neither a contemporary, and you are correct in that the "christus" reference is indeed a later added interpolation.

Toews... really?!

More like Getzlaf hits a slapper from the blue line!

God will judge you for making fun of Him, you already live a miserable life

WRONG!

Who, me?

WRONG!

Ok. How so?

I like Getzlaf, but I am a Blackhawks fan.

Toews and him are good buddies though.
