Part 18 of Post Your Tough Questions Regarding Christianity

It works just fine...thank you!

There you go again using the "P" word. I just recently said in a previous post that it's just plain silly to use that word. I also said that, "When one inquires anything to do with Almighty God do you honestly believe you will get any hard facts? Even if one was to present "facts" it will only be met with denials."

And so you won't get any "proofs" or any "facts"...that's just the way it is when inquiring about Almighty God, you either have faith in Him or you don't. You either believe what's written in Scripture or you don't.

If you don't have faith in Him why do you continue to come here asking questions about Him? Shouldn't you be comfortable in what you believe? Or is it that you have fear in something you don't believe in?

 

But of course there are for my definition of "god."
He is the force behind this Reality which appears moment by moment,... right?

Modern Empirical science has demonstrated that the Facts of every experiment testify to Reality as one almighty truth we each can "see".

 

Thank you for solidifying my point.

Science has attempted to "See" your definition (and many others) of "God"...but as there is literally nothing to evaluate besides old stories written by people long ago, the pursuit has proven completely futile and been dismissed as pointless. Until there is something to study beyond fiction and opinion...God will remain a very weak hypothesis.

 

There is no evidence of a flood which raised up so high as to cover the mountains, though.
And the amount of water needed to complete what Gen 7 reports just is impossible.

20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

Nor does the amount of water available seem capable of covering the whole earth either:

19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered.


What appears most reasonable here is to see this as the factual extinction of 40,000 years ago, taking all mankind except Modern homo sapiens.
It is so reasonable that Paleontologists already used the idea, men who are not religious and did not mean to supply this analogy for us:

The replacement model of Christopher Stringer and Peter Andrews:
This hypothesis is also referred to as the "out of Africa", "Noah's ark" and "African replacement" model.

All other lines of humans that had descended from Homo erectus presumably became extinct.
From this view, the regional anatomical differences that we see among humans today are recent developments--evolving mostly in the last 40,000 years.

Professor Gran Burenhult (1994) of Gotland University in Sweden elucidates: "Humans migrated into Europe about 40,000 years ago."
They used two different tool traditions at this time.
People south of the Sahara had the same Middle Stone Age tools between 200,000 and 40,000 years ago.

 

Yes.

That is the basis of Trinity.
Christ said he was the personification of the ideal we call Truth.

Truth is the son of the ever unfolding net frame of Reality.
Truth is the image of Reality, by definition. (Gen 1:26)

Truth and Reality are seen as the Holy Spirit inside our heads, and this is the trinity described here.
