How many does it take? LOL, check out the title of this tread, how about some facts about that, not geographic or meteorological facts. Take this challenge: Tell me what happened on Easter. Use the four gospels, and pull together one consistent story about what happened on Easter morning. The task is impossible because the gospels don't agree. |

Just because an inconsistent collection of scrolls scratched out by some desert tribe says it is so, isn't proof.

If you question a scientist that says "x" is true, the burden of proof lies with the scientist to reveal thatproof and show you why "x" is true. You, in the case, are the scientist because you believe what the bible is telling you and accept it as truth so it is up to you to provide the facts that why I am incorrect in my thinking.
