Evidence for God from Science

as far as I am aware, as of April 2012 (more recent than the linked article), a solid majority of scholars are behind me on this one This was published mere 4 hours after the "news". :pound: http://www.christianpost.com/news/jesus-discovery-has-zero-percent-chance-of-being-true-say-expert...

I agree with you, completely, Paul. One of the saddest things I've seen in my investigations is the way opposing views tend not to interact with each other. Too often, conservatives ignore the claims of liberal scholarship for little reason other than a prior commitment to a specific view of the Bib...

I've looked into this in some detail, and I'm highly skeptical of the claim that Jesus's remains have been found, and as far as I am aware, as of April 2012 (more recent than the linked article), a solid majority of scholars are behind me on this one including some very big names in archaeology (bas...

I must admit, Blippy, I was very skeptical of the Shroud before I discovered this thread a while back and decided to look into it a little more.

I'm glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, Short1. I'm also sorry; I seem to have missed the focus of your dilemma. Reactionary, I think, is spot on in his assessment of the sort of relationship too many make the mistake of aiming for with God. God is loving, but he is not permissive. Nor is he s...

Short1, I'm interested in hearing what Armstrong has to say. I'm not personally familiar with her work, but I know of her by reputation. From what I've heard she's a well respected writer, though I don't know if she ever completed her doctoral work. I've also heard that she's a bit of a mystic in he...
