Will you admit that if a skeleton with damaged hands was found near an inscription stating that the body was that of Joshua ben Josef or similar, you would reject the bible? How about if there was a nearby skeleton marked Josef or James, and DNA tests showed they were related? That's effectively all we've got for the pharaohs.

the Body, if Jesus didn't ascend into Heaven, would be most likely confined to the tiny area of Earth that was called Judea.
Its not like looking for A POPULATION (votever dot mins) of rabbits in an area the size of the planet, from an era that is supposed to have covered 7/8ths to 90% of Earth history depending on which source, much of which has been destroyed by 540 million years of erosion.

Ok, so you will not state that if a skeleton with damaged hands was found near an inscription stating that the body was that of Joshua ben Josef or similar, you would reconsider the bible's truth.
What more would be required?

Such a good job you do that even many of your fellow YEC's hold you at arms length and don't want to be associated with you. Why do you suppose that is? You might want to deal with that projection problem of yours before you start trying to correct others, ok?
Yeah ... right ... whatever.
I did arrive at a decision: Terror and Roy should be equally ranked.
That decision is the one that best correlates with reality.

It looks like JR is at least making an effort with her Coneys in the Cambrian challenge. At least she understands the issues -- not very well, but...

Get your brand new Irony Meters on Mars or Pluto.
Nope, you can't get any on planet Earth. Why?
Because R06's post (above) BUSTED every one!!!

But that's just a distraction. You still have not gone on record stating what evidence would cause to to doubt the truth of the Bible. It is becoming obvious that no amount of evidence would ever sway you.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI'm just thinking of the split of AnswersinGenesis (AiG) a few years ago.

All about the money.
That said, I'll take a thousand Ken Hams or two thousand Kent Hovinds over ONE Kenneth Miller, Francis Collins, O-Mudd or - dare I say it? - you. No one of us is perfect but the ideological faults of Ham/Hovind don't even register on the radar when compared to the ideological faults of rabidly-militant Theistic Evolutionists.
Speaking of Hovind, he will be out in about one year His sentence was one of the greatest acts of injustice by a corrupt system that I have ever had the displeasure of witnessing. Many will be paying dearly for that act, if not in this life then in the afterlife.

The problem with the Paluxy footprints wasn't that the argument was uncompelling - though it was - but that the evidence was uncompelling.
But that's just a distraction. You still have not gone on record stating what evidence would cause to to doubt the truth of the Bible. It is becoming obvious that no amount of evidence would ever sway you.
