Religion anyone?

Sepo,
per your request
Two examples from Mattew 27:“Then was fulfilled that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet, saying: “And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was priced, whom certain of the children of Israel did price”” (v.9)
“And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: “They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots.”” (v.35)
In The Bible, there are more than 330 such detailed propheties about only one Person. Can you CALCULATE what is THAT PROBABILITY?!!!

I am sorry but I do not see any relevance....Did you know that Nzis were predicting to kill all Jews.... Ok they did not succeed albeit killing many many millions... Do we take it as prophecy because they partially suceeded and does that make you know who prophet.
I was trying to make sense from your previous post and it did not make any sense to me. Take me as not so bright and please give me an example of the relevance of these in todays world. Decode them for me. Think of me as someone who neede to be converted. -
You finally said something revealing Cornel:
@unknownuser said:
Go on the street, (for example in Ney York, Chicago, etc.) and you will find (if you have ‘imagination’) a lot of faces and bodies that can be combined
"Imagination" thats all your beliefs really are, truth is based on facts.

Alan,
In originals, the same word used for “DAY”, means “PERIOD”
God is atemporal:
“But forget not this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” (2 Peter 3:8)The Bible was written by humans, but it was inspired (some portions even were dictated) by God.
Re. Evolution museums: Go on the street, (for example in Ney York, Chicago, etc.) and you will find (if you have ‘imagination’) a lot of faces and bodies that can be 'combined' in a 'slide-presentation'…!

Solo,
I was referring to an ILL IMAGINATION, starting from the wrong used ideea that everything can be plausible, except God’s creations.Cornel

You are kidding right?
You believe in the whole Noah story right? a 900 year old man collects two of every animal and stores it on his boat and weathers out a flood right?
Now if indeed you do, did he have dinosaurs onboard? maybe a pair of Dodo's? probably not as they are extinct and according to your beliefs they never existed even though we have bones to prove it.

If indeed you are as tolerant as I believe you are please watch the following clip (all of it) and give me your opinion, not another quote from your bible, one from your thinking. I have taken the time to learn your faith and come to a conclusion that I do not believe, so please do me the favor and watch this and give me an honest opinion.

Solo,
Noah was yunger: 600 y. instead of 900 y. (see Gen. 7:6).Re. dimensions of the ark:
“And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits.” (Gen. 6:15)
As you can see, its proportions were ideal established, like ultra-modern safe vessels.Calculating its volume you will be surprised that it was a roomy ‘invention’, large enough for all basic pairs of young animal kingdom, “all in whose nostrils was the breath of life”. Because of that space, some animals were allowed to be seven pairs, not just one… (see Gen. 7:2-3)

Cornel,
I am afraid you may need to read your book again concerning Noah's age, check Gen 9:28 and 9:29, he was 600 at time of flood and lived another 350 years afterwards.
So what did you think of video on previous page, I am really interested in your opinion or anyone else of devout faith.

Modelhead,
It's well known that it was THE CONCLUSION of many specialised competent engineers...

Of course God exists outside of time. He has to...there wasn't any such thing as time prior to the creation of the universe, it's a function of mass, space and the speed of light.
But we're not talking about God; we're talking about the creation of a very physical and tangible earth. That earth had to be formed according to a timescale...and the one in the Bible makes no sense at all.
As for Noah. Here's the Sumerian Epic of Gilgamesh, written centuries before the rise of the Hebrews. http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/mesopotamian/gilgamesh/tab11.htm
It's all in there, albeit with a few changes of name and detail...the flood, the boat, the chosen few and their livestock, the grounding on the mountain...even the dove sent out on a recon mission.
The plain fact is that flood myths abound all over the Middle East...and beyond. We are talking Early Bronze Age here. Precisely the time when the sea levels were rising after the last Ice Age and some areas of very fertile land then below sea level, now under the sea were inundated catastrophically when the higher ground separating them from the sea finally gave way (like the Bosphorus). The result was the flooding of basins that are now the Black and Red Seas.

Solo,
Those were your words:
“You believe in the whole Noah story right? a 900 year old man collects two of every animal and stores it on his boat and weathers out a flood right?"…mentioning GREAT FLOOD TIME.
Noah was 600 y. old in that time.
-
Acceptable, you are correct on that, I concur on age at time of storm. Thats one pretty old dude nonetheless huh?
Anyway, back to your opinion on video clip....
-
Alan,
I know those hypothesis and many…, and many…
I’m not at a ‘starting point’! I did study ‘libraries’…, about suppositions, theories, etc.Yor are right, the Earth was formed “according to a timescale”, but correct periods are those exposed in the Bible (Genesis).
I’m not so religious to believe every ideea, even it is written in ‘uppercase’ or trumpeted in the name of Science.Cornel
-
Solo,
That video-clip didn’t start. It looks like a square white spot, but without a link…!
Can you give me the path of it?
Sorry for this inconvenient!

This is some seriously warped rhetorics. You're not religous enough to believe every idea that's 'trumpeted' in the name of science. What does that mean?

Stinkie,
To believefor example in those millions y. or billions y., you have to have a HUGE FAITH.
Can you verify them? Which Laboratory will take that responsibility?!
Besides that, almost all theories were continuously changeable…!Do you know a verse like Luke 19:40?:
“And he (Jesus) answered and said, I tell you that, if these shall hold their peace, the stones will cry out.”
“Stones” (the Archeology, for example) are more eloquent than ‘words’!Cornel
-
Its not a belief that the universe started billions of years ago. It is an idea. Science has nothing to do with faith.

Besides that, almost all theories were continuously changeable…!Let's get a couple of things straight. There's no 'believing' involved here, at least not on my part. I don't 'believe' in the theories that scientists propose - I merely deem them less implausible than the idea of a supreme being.
Why? Well, precisely because "almost all theories were continuously changeable". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability
