[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^^^ Just want to point out that there is insufficient evidence that any of the above is true.[/quote]

Why doesn’t the Bible reference anything that happened in the billions of years before Christianity was made up?

The universe is 3B years old. 95% of all species that ever existed are extinct. The whole Adam and Eve thing is scientifically disproven. Oh but insert explanation as to how that isn’t a literal story. We’re only supposed to truly believe the parts of the Bible that can’t be disproven or that have some historical truth (like Jesus may have been a real person).

Disregard the other thousands of religions on Earth. Because the religion you were born into just so happens to be the real one. Those kids in African villages just have silly beliefs. And the Ancient Greeks and Romans didn’t have the benefit of Jesus so they made up fake Gods, but your God is real.

Also let’s talk about heaven and souls. Do just humans have souls? What about animals? Can my dog go to heaven and if so, why not the blob fish at the bottom of the ocean? What about fleas and bot flies? What about bacteria which is technically alive? Where do you draw the arbitrary line about which lives God cares about enough to provide eternal salvation? Just the cute animals that are our companions? In our consciousness somehow more special than other living beings?

What about the fact that your entire personality and belief system can be altered by things like a tumor or head injury. Or that there are anatomical differences in the brains of many psychopaths and pedophiles? Why would God make them be born that way? Does that really seem more likely than these people be fluke outliers of evolution that went too far in one direction?

I’m sure you’ll have all sorts of woo woo explanations for this.[/quote]
