Re: OT: Alien Contact

Kind of odd when you consider that the Bible was written well after all of those historical events. None of this historical events were predicted at all. The authors of the Bible simply wrote it after the fact, and wrote it as if they were predicting the future.

And what says these events weren't predicted? And no, you saying it does not count.

My "argument" is that you are wrong. You have to prove yourself right for me to be wrong. Since you can't prove yourself right (as all of your evidence is wrong), my argument is true. You are wrong. There is little extra work going from showing that your arguments are wrong to saying that you are wrong.
|
But you are saying, "I am right because I say everything was postdicted." You have yet to back that up either. Therefore I am right in saying your arguments are not based either. For you to argue that I am wrong you must prove it as well, which you have failed to do thus far.

First off, that is 100% wrong. There were a lot more earthquakes from 4 billion BC to 1914 than there have been since 1914 to today. We were not around to record them all, and not all of the earthquakes that happened when we were around were recorded, and so are not known about now. Nowadays, we can record every little earthquake that occurs, so you get the illusion that there are more earthquakes.

You are taking the points that I bring out and turning them into something I did not mean. It may be my fault for not being more clear but still.
Sure from 4Billion BC to 1914 there were alot. But I wasn't speaking of that time frame. I'm speaking of when mankind was put on the earth to 1914.

Basically what you are saying is "I have no real proof, but I know I am right, because I am, and the Bible says so." All of your arguments have been rather circular, and prove absolutely nothing. The biggest problem for you is that the Bible was written well after the real historical events took place, not before.
|
I have given real proof in that the predictions that were written in the Bible were intold fulfilled in secular history. You have denied this by saying that these things were written after the fact but that is not the case.
You are providing no evidence yourself in order to prove me wrong, you are simply saying that I am wrong because you say so.
Therefore, since you have yet to truely prove one of my points wrong your arguments to do just that have failed and it is a draw.
Edit: I am finally done with my part of the discussion. Neither one of us are getting anywhere with it so lets move on.
Edit2: And also I believe the forum guildlines prohibited getting into Bible discussions on this forum so I will refrain from doing just that. If others wish to continue conversation feel free.
