Who's to say they literally "fell"?
The walls are still sitting there on the ground where there fell. You can go to Jericho and look and see for yourself. The experts, the ones with the PhD's say that the walls fell because of an earthquake. You know from plate Technics. There is a huge, huge, huge amount of scientific evidence to prove that the Bible is accurate and true. There is abundantly above and beyond an overwelming amount of scientific evidence to verify what we read in our Bible is accurate and true. Trustworthy and dependable. If you do what the Bible says to do you will get the results the Bible says you will get. Even if you do what the Bible says NOT to do you will get the results the Bible says you will get. Your whole live is a testimony to how accurate and true the Bible is. You only need to examine yourself and examine your life to see how accurate and true the Bible really is.

I don't know who the god of deism is.
That is usually a reference to the natural laws that God created to regulate the universe. Some people do not understand that Creation is in a fallen condition and that God is doing a work of redemption and restoration.

"For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God." Rom 8 20

You were there when it happened?
No, I SAID that is the expert testimony of the experts that have been to the leading universities and received advanced degrees. I know you reject science based evidence because you reject science. Because science gives you a witness and a testimony that the Bible is accurate and true, trustworthy and dependable. Your very life is a witness and a testimony that the Bible is accurate and true. Do what the Bible says to do and you will get the results the Bible says you will get. Do what the Bible says NOT to do and you will get the results the Bible says you will get. Even if you are ignorant of the Bible the Bible still remains accurate and true, trustworthy and dependable in all ways. God watches over His word to perform and to do what He says He will do.

I see... well, who can argue with expert testimony of the experts...

And what do these experts say again? That Jericho's walls were brought down by.... what? the power of God?

Oh, no... it was an earthquake, wasn't it?

And is it the expert testimony of the experts that the Earthquake happened during the battle, as opposed to, say, 10 years, 50 years, 100 years later?

Or were you there when it happened?

Good answer from an atheistic viewpoint, agnostic.
Good answer? has any religions God at anytime in history been anything more than an assertion by it's believers? the thousands of Gods that have been worshiped by countless people over the years are all man made and fictional except one even to you, every believer in every God that has ever existed would say exactly the same as you, all the other Gods are fake Gods, if you put all believers together they would cancel out all the other Gods between them.

Polytheists would disagree with you.

Perhaps but fortunately an awful lot of Americans are starting to see for themselves just how ridiculous religions are and are walking away from Christianity in all it's forms.

I was reading how the one hour TV call in show called the Atheist Experience out of Austin Texas is having trouble getting theists to call into the show to tell people why they are Christians, they think it could be one of two things, either the number of Christians [mainly] is dropping rapidly or the religious are all afraid to call in because they keep getting crushed by the hosts, a bit like here in fact.

Like just about every other challenge, it won't get answered without putting it through a series of vents and ridicules first.
OK here's a challenge for YOU, tell me exactly what your God is and what makes your God any different from all the other Gods that you claim are false Gods?

It has been answered. It has nothing to do with evolution. Now stop being silly.

And you're saying it happened during the actual battle, correct?
The reason I brought up the Battle of Jericho: This is where we begin with out sunday school students. Usually at the age of about one year old they can march around the room and sing the song. Of course all children are ready at their own rate. Some may not be ready to leave the nursery and enter the sunday school program until they are maybe 15 months old. But if they can sing and march then they are ready to learn about the Battle of Jericho.

My heart goes out to those children, wrapped and packaged even before they have a chance to think for themselves.

Didn't ask; don't care.

Usually at the age of about one year old they can march around the room and sing the song.

So you teach them to chant.... again, didn't ask; don't care.


Ah, so they chant and march for you... once more, da;dc.

Although it is interesting that you have to get them at such an impressionable young age... vitally important to nab them before those critical thinking skills develop, and stifle all curiosity, isn't it?
