You might as well beat your head against a brick wall...

The vast majority of Theist had the concept of god/afterlife drilled into their heads at a formative age, and the ideas were reinforced by friends, family and various "authority figures".

Such a world view is now "hard coded" into their brains.

There is no amount of logic, reasoning and science that can change it.

First show me the logic, reasoning and science that would make a dent in the Gospel accounts of Jesus?

In fact, show me ONE (ONE, just 1, your BEST ONE) person, place, or event in the GOSPELS that has been demonstrated to be wrong. Cite the pertinent scripture #'s and make your argument.

Just you, beancounter. Let's see your stuff. You're on.

And, your proof? Science has proven conception without sexual intercourse is possible. In fact, Jesus birth proves God the Father does exist. And, the Holy Ghost was the doctor.

In the case of conception without intecourse, we have a human sperm donor, and a physical human doctor (or at least a turkey bastor). You have not provided the proof that 1) Mary was a virgin when Jesus was born, aside from the argument of assertion that bible makes, and 2) Provided physical evidence of 'the holy ghost'

You would just deny it. You are a denier at heart.

Can people turn water into wine? Can anyone replicate food? Can anyone walk on water?

Old testament: How about fitting two of each species on a boat? Parting an ocean, turning someone into salt, a bush on fire without burning?

Science says nope. Go ahead and prove that any of those things are possible. Prove that they occurred. (the Bible isn't proof of itself...)

Also two questions for you...

Approximately how old is the earth?
Did dinosaurs and humans co-exist at some point in the past?


But I am aware that you question was an attempt at a diversion/distraction, as my comment related to the existence of an afterlife and mentioned nothing specifically about the content of the Bible...

Tsk tsk...

First show me the replicated scientific studies that prove God and the supernatural do not and cannot exist. You can't do that, can you? So your anti-supernatural attempts above are not based in science.

4.5 billion years or so. I do have a Bachelor of Science degree. Do you?

You tell me.

So, to recap, you have failed to show any Gospel account of a person, place, or event to be false. You're 0-1.

Now get serious and try again if you want. But don't go trying to claim science has shown the supernatural to be false, because science can't do that. If you knew what you thought you knew about science you would have known that.

“His mama was a virgin.”

Seriously flawed myth that one is.
 
I'm still waiting on proof that Cerberus doesn't guard the gates of the underworld, and proof that we are forgiven once we are granted the opportunity to drink from the pool of memory.

Now you are just attacking your own belief. You don't believe God can have his sperm placed in a woman, Mary. That's why you think the Jesus story is nonsense. So, now science, your god, has done what you said couldn't be done and you still can't believe it. Why? What are you so afraid of?

I know people who have said they had a child through this process. I don't go asking for the name of the doctor, to physically see this doctor. I don't ask if the wife was a virgin, that's personal. And, Heavenly Father is a glorified man. The Holy Ghost was the doctor. Mary was the recipient and her testimony is in writing. Therefore, the conception of Mary and the birth of the Lord is believable according to science. Emperical evidence. Case closed!

Yes! Why would you think they wouldn't? Heavenly Father is a glorified man. Came from a world much like ours. Had to do the same things to be exalted and given his mansion or universe. And, here we are. Jesus is also now a glorified man after he was resurrected.

lol....you cannot possibly believe that. Can you?

How are unsupported claims 'empirical evidence'. Do you know what empirical evidence is? Nor, does your distortion of the claims show it is 'believable according to science'.

That's ridiculous.

You don't believe God can have his sperm placed in a woman, Mary. That's why you think the Jesus story is nonsense.

Obviously, the whole story is absurd and defies the laws of nature as we know them. It's a bit much to expect rational individuals to swallow such stories based upon ancient hearsay.

So, now science, your god, has done what you said couldn't be done and you still can't believe it.
Click to expand...

Has it? It has started that a virgin birth is possible through a possible biological accident based upon protein interaction with the egg, but it hasn't provided an example. Nor have I seen evidence of zombies. It is more plausible that Mary was raped by Pantera and 'put away' to hide the social stigma (see Celsus).

Why? What are you so afraid of?

Cute, who said anything about being afraid? And where did I say science was my god? I have no gods and I don't need such primitive abstracts in my life.
