Does life on other planets disprove the BIble

Has Jesus been proven other than one blurb by the historians of the time?

Do you honestly think I was referring to the spiritual aspects of the Bible? I was referring to cities, rulers, places, and the like. I think there's been some debate on if Jesus actually existed, but that depends on which side of that particular debate you want to be on.

Okay I ve decided the question in the OP is to vauge. Yes the Roman empire was true. Just like in Greek mythology Athens did exist.

Well then, my point is people shouldn't go spouting about the WHOLE bible being false when there are truths throughout its pages. Someone else was talking about how they didn't believe anything at all in the bible, and I asked them if they really meant that, and they said they did. :lol: Moral of the Story: use your words carefully or end up looking silly.
 
Inspired by this story:

The Associated Press: Vatican looks to heavens for signs of alien life

If life -is- found on other planets, does this disprove the Bible's story of Creation?

Please be sure to explain your response

<poll pending>

Options:
Yes, because...
No, because...
Other

No, because of two factors.
1 THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN BY MEN MEN MAKE MISTAKES
2 I CAN NOT BELEOVE THAT ANY HUMAN ON EARTH KNOWS HOW WHEN AND WHERE THE ACTIONS OF GOD IN THE PAST PRESENT OR FUTURE,although some politicians and religious leaders claim to but WELL??

On a side note, I was wandering how long it took for this thread to become a debate over the existence of God.
Although I didn't read all the post I'm guessing 2 maybe 3 pages?

Mixing historical facts and fiction is a very well-known literary process used by many authors to add realism to their fictional works:shrug:

and you said the ENTIRE bible was false from the "Get go"

Just trying to show you a little error you made, that's all.

Hey Paris long time no see.

In response to your post.

I would bring up one of what I think is a truth of the bible.

"The Lord works in mysterious ways".
 
and you said the ENTIRE bible was false from the "Get go"

Just trying to show you a little error you made, that's all.

Nope.

I said it was fake from the get go. That is all.

You assumed I meant it was entirely false. Your mistake, not mine.
 
and you said the ENTIRE bible was false from the "Get go"
Just trying to show you a little error you made, that's all.
Yes. That statement is patently false.
 
No, because the bible is fake from the get-go.

Get-go n. the very beginning

From the get-go = From the very beginning.

So, saying that the Bible is false from the very beginning means?

I didn't see you clarify where the get-go ended and the historical truths began.

Is there any evidence of the creation say like there is of the existence of Rome?

Oh boy. So if you find some historical facts included in Harry Potter, you are going to believe the whole story is true? Wow, just wow.

And btw, some parts of Harry Potter have been plagiarised, just like some parts of the bible have been plagiarised, too.

Methinks perhaps I should not tell you I believe Santa Claus is also fake. Who knows how you are going to react then.

No but if there are historical facts in Harry Potter and YOU say it's False from the get-go, I'll remind you to pick your words more carefully.

You are all missing my point. I'm not defending any truth in the Bible, I'm simply asking that someone use the right words when they are speaking and not blanket an entire document because they don't believe in parts of it. What I'm saying has less to do with the actual Bible and more to do with people picking their words correctly. That's all.

Oh yea please remind me how to write proper English more often so I can use my French with you:lol:
 
So the Roman myth of Romulous and Remus is true?

I don't know that life on other planets would prove it wrong.

In fact discovering life on other planets might actually give the myth a smidgen of credibility. If we knew for certain that intelligent life existed elsewhere, it would be a simple matter of probability to validly assume some of that life could have visited us long ago.

Such an advanced civilization would appear to be gods to us, their technology indistinguishable from magic, from our point of view. As we would not be able to explain how they performed great feats, we would likely describe them as "supernatural".

Mars (whom the planet was named after, not he of the planet), would be one of "the men of old, the men of renown" as witnessed in the bible.

Discovering life on other planets would evidence the bibles claim that such life does indeed exist.

Religion is the mental accumulation of being afraid of the dark. You want to believe so hard that around the corner in the dark alley is a pleasent looking individual with good intentions for you. The reality can often be something entirely different or nothing at all, it is easy to assume, difficult to learn and impossible to know.

There are certainly those that think it will. You will have to ask them.
 
So which parts have been proven true?

:nails

For starters there were cities named Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nineveh, Damascus, and many others (of which have been archeologically proven to have existed or still exist), there was Egypt (which did have enslaved Jews in exile from Israel), the Babylonian, Egyptian, and Roman Empires (I know, I couldn't believe it either!), there was a Governor named Pontious Pilate, The Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 A.D...the list goes on...My point is, your argument at best should be that it's a historical fiction, not "false from the get-go". It's ignorant statements like that which will chip away at your credibility. I'm doing this for you <3
