Many DCUM posters do not respond to main points but go off on tangents … sigh …[/quote]
I don’t understand how dating the earthquake pinpoints the date of death. Doesn’t that assume that the accounts of an earthquake happening at that exact moment are accurate?[/quote]

No,[b] the ancient seismometers are very reliable.[/b] [/quote]

That's not the part I'm questioning. What I'm saying is (1) even if we accept that this earthquake happened on this day, what is (2) the proof that Jesus was crucified on the same day/at the same moment as the earthquake? In order to accept #2, we have to believe that (a) the onlookers are recalling everything exactly as it happened and (b) the story, as handed down, hasn't changed. There is no objective proof of (a) or (b) (I understand that people of faith don't need objective proof, I'm talking about whether pinpointing the date of an earthquake = objective proof of the date and time of the crucifixion).[/quote]

You only believe [b]science that supports your beliefs[/b]?[/quote]

Do you mean “beliefs” in facts and evidence? [/quote]

Like the facts and evidence surrounding the assassination of John F Kennedy? Which was  caught on film, witnessed by hundreds of people, and still nobody knows exactly what happened?[/quote]

No one claimed that science always explains everything. From the physical evidence, we can determine that JFK was shot.

In this case, the only thing that science tells us is that there was likely seismic activity in Ein Gedi between the years 26 and 36. That’s it. It doesn’t say anything beyond that.

That’s untrue. People should read the link and decide for themselves. [/quote]

What else does “science” say from the article? Nothing.

Anything? No, nothing.
