Yes.
Which fits in easily.
He was 2500 years before Moses.
Yes --- here's how it goes:Study what colophons are --- they'll help you understand.
- Moses edited Genesis.
- And authored Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy
- Joshua wrote his epitaph.
Really. Prophecies so vague can be fulfilled by any number of criteria, and it's not exactly uncontested there was a virgin birth.

That "vague prophecy" as you call it is packed with information --- study what the Protevangelium is.
So, who wrote Genesis? And how do you know?
P.S. Where does it say Joshua "wrote his epitaph"? I think your Bible must have many more verses than mine.
Only because you are reading it in hindsight. Any prophecy so vaguely worded could be read in hindsight and found to be 'packed' with information.
It's a tactic common to many prophecies, including horoscopes, fortune tellers, etc.
AV1611VET, please provide a list of all the things prophisised in the Bible, and show how the fulfilled ones have been just that: fulfilled.
Yes. You are too lazy to post even one. Once again, a Christians claims have turned up false.Right --- don't hold your breath.
Just Jesus alone has 333 prophecies concerning Himself, of which 119 have been fulfilled --- leaving 224 still to go.
(Or maybe the numbers are the other way around --- 224/109.)
Either way you get my drift, right?
Yet, when we discuss the lack of actual proof for the transition from one species to another, the absence of transitional members in the fossil record seems to be no impediment to those who believe in the TofE.Yes, you would expect that, if the Bible's creation account were literal. The evidence says otherwise, at basically every level.
While it may be anecdotal to begin with you can hardly say there is "NO" evidence. For just one example I would inquire as to the discovery of sea shells and other such sedimentary deposits on mountain tops. I'm relatively certain that clams and mollusks aren't disposed to mountain climbing as a hobby.There is no geological evidence of a flood...
While I will grant you the premise that this is tough to wrap your mind around it is no more unfeasible than the claim that "ALL" life evolved from a "COMMON ANCESTOR". The TofE asks us to accept that life began with no intervention and grew to the current level of diversity out of pure chance and happenstance mutations. What makes it any better for you to believe in awesome diversity from common ancestry and chance versus my belief in awesome diversity from common ancestry and creation?all humans being born from two parents is unfeasible, the human genome is too diverse to explain a birth from two parents...
Still, the measurements, such as they are, are based on our scales and made at least partially questionable by the fact that they are arrived at by imperfect beings.the Earth is dated to be much older than any YEC timescale and has a clear and measurable history much older than any YEC timescale...
The TofE disputes creation but embraces the idea of common ancestry. Personally I can't see the difference in intensity between the faith required by evolutionists to believe in the TofE and my believing in the God of Abraham.there is strong evidence of common ancestry of all life forms instead of special creation, including a common ancestor of modern humans and modern chimpanzees about 5-8 million years ago.

Yes. You are too lazy to post even one. Once again, a Christians claims have turned up false.
Yes really. Genesis didn't exist before 600 BCE. But the very grandparents of the Biblical authors wrote a series of books in which the serpent can be found. The most profound one is the epic of Gilgamesh which was written at 1700 before the first archaeological evidence of the Bible. Its a fascinating paradox that I'd love to discuss with you, but I'm sure you're not interested in the real story of the serpent, and certainly don't want to find out who she really was.Oh, really?
I could go on and on, but I'll stop here --- Google "protevangelum" for more.

LOL --- you're right --- I'll pass.
I’ve gotten every excuse from “I don’t have time” (even though they are here every day) to prophesizing about how their opponent will conduct themselves (even though they have never tried). Since every reason they give, from A to Z is obviously false then what could the real reason be? The only difference is that they are going to be held accountable for backing up their claims and can’t run away. Is that enough to being the entire creationist argument to it’s knees?
