To be honest, I am not going to spend the next several hours searching out articles & reports on the findings of Biblical events. You stated that you've been called stupid for believing in the Bible...no amount of evidence will change the minds of those who would tell you that. I have & I'm sure you have read many things in support & not in support of Biblical beliefs. Thus, no matter what I say or the amount of info I come up with the argument will continue.flip2 said:Can you lay out some proof, some irrefutable evidence of any event ever occurring? I mean, I've been called stupid and idiotic for believing in the Bible. I just want to make sure the crack I'm taking is pure and not synthetic.
The Great Flood: Evidence found in the ground far below usuall surface levels in the Middle East, indicate there was a flood around the area of South West Turkey, and " Mesopotamia " present day Iraq.flip2 said:The Great Flood, Noah's Ark.

Exactly.Soviet_Guy said:The Great Flood: Evidence found in the ground far below usuall surface levels in the Middle East, indicate there was a flood around the area of South West Turkey, and " Mesopotamia " present day Iraq.
Fall of Babylon: Very true indeed, existing around 4000-2000 B.C. Babylon was the greatest Empire of its time, but like all Empires, it didn't last.
Goliath: No, only legends, most believe this was fictional.
Jesus Christ: The evidence on Jesus is overwhelming, try reading some books or watch a bit of television, just skim through the channels and you're bound to find something.

This was in Turkey.flip2 said:I watched a documentary about Noah's Ark and the Great Flood. They showed footage of what appeared to be a very large, wooden, rectangular frame under snow in some mountain range in I forget where. And not far from that piece was another piece that appeared to be the other half.
There was also several floods all around the world all throughout history. That doesn't make it absolute proof that there was a Great Flood that happened all over the Earth at the exact same time.Soviet_Guy said:The Great Flood: Evidence found in the ground far below usuall surface levels in the Middle East, indicate there was a flood around the area of South West Turkey, and " Mesopotamia " present day Iraq.
Yes, do read some books. There's actually more than one. One in particular is called "The Jesus Mysteries: Was the Original Jesus a Pagan God?" by Timothy Freke and Peter Gandy.Soviet_Guy said:Jesus Christ: The evidence on Jesus is overwhelming, try reading some books or watch a bit of television, just skim through the channels and you're bound to find something.
Alright.The Truth-Bringer said:Yes, I know that Many events of those are encouraged and believed to be true simply by scripture...
There's been no proof of Unicorns either. Doesn't mean they don't exist. But if I choose to believe in Unicorns I sure as heck better have some evidence before I start insisting that others believe in them.The Truth-Bringer said:but still, Due to that no proof has been found YET, doesnt mean it didnt exist.
This way of thinking is common of Conclusions-First, Facts-Second. Don't come to a conclusion before you have facts. Draw conclusions based on the discovery of facts.The Truth-Bringer said:I dont really know what kind of proof is to be looked for , to confirm the existence of Jesus, but still, its like with many events...
Exactly right.Tashah said:There are indeed things in scripture that are historically accurate... and other things that can only be described as articles of faith.
The Bible stating the world is flat does not seem correct to me, can you show me where it states this?The Truth-Bringer said:Some now disproven items that the bible insists upon are such as; The world being flat, which from observation and science, it is seemingly to be round. Some other things are contradictory, such as the Existence of what the bible describes as a ; Omnipotent (All-Powerful), Completly Good and Pure God, Yet Evil Exists (One cannot deny that Evil Exists). This is, after one things of it, a Logical Contradiction.
Even worse. Choice cannot exist. Think further:The Truth-Bringer said:That Thing though about God cannot being good, all-powerful , and yet evil exists still is true... The Free-Will argument is still mildly flawed. If god was good, he would give us the will to only choose good decisions, but if he was Wishing to give us free will, he would give us more powers than just these petty ones, like more things to enjoy our lives, more freedom and such, more "supernatural Ablities", yet he didnt, he setttled in between, so he did not believe free will nor Free will for good things was what he wanted , and what he wanted made us miserable and cause harm to others.
