And that is your considered and educated response? Atheistic reasoning at work for all to see.

Yes, but do you think that passing scientific or archaeological tests is a qualification for a holy book?
-- If so, that rather makes the Bible's truth less than absolute.
-- If not, it's unfair to condemn the Koran for not passing it.

[John Galt]

Well lets see. What scientific, historical, prophetic, archaeological tests has the Koran passed ever? Answer - none. On the other hand the Bible continues to be way ahead of its time. When scientists were running around telling everyone the world was flat, The Bible had been saying all along that that the earth was a sphere and so on and so on.

What scientific, historical, prophetic and archaeological tests has the Bible passed?????

Well, it got the shape of the world right!

I fear that Chico has shown his true colours as a wind up artist. Thats a shame, I thought we had us a genuine religious nut.

I've often had my doubts. But he's so consistent ...If he is a wind-up merchant it's a work of art

I'd like to see the specific quote from the Bible about that - am fairly sure that the world being flat was a popular misconception until about 500 years ago.

It still is, with some people: "The modern flat earth movement originated when an eccentric English inventor, Samuel Birley Rowbotham (1816-1884), based on his literal interpretation of certain biblical passages, published a 16-page pamphlet, which he later expanded into a 430 page book expounding his views. According to Rowbotham's system, which he called Zetetic Astronomy, the earth is a flat disk centered at the North Pole and bounded along its southern edge by a wall of ice, with the sun, moon, planets, and stars only a few hundred miles above the surface of the earth."

I think you should go and study this and come back when you've finished.

OK, Chico - this is your scientific 'evidence' that proves the existance of God is it:

Recent scientific evidence is adding to the evidence supporting the reliability of biblical chronology from the scriptures. This study demonstrated the reliability of the Biblical record regarding the Egyptian plagues and demise of Jericho.

Drs. Hendrik J. Bruins and Johannes van der Plicht reported in the prestigious British journal, Nature (14), that the destruction of Jericho was dated to 1580 (+/- 13 years) B.C. (using 14C dating). This date is significant, since several archeologists have insisted that Jericho was destroyed by the Egyptians between 1550 and 1300 B.C. The recent study discredits the Egyptian theory, since the date is much too old.

What is even more exciting is that scientists, using 14C dating and tree rings, have found evidence of a volcanic eruption from the Aegean island of Thera, which recently has been dated to 1628 B.C. (15). This would place the eruption at 45 years prior to the destruction of Jericho, at a time which coincidentally corresponds to the time of the plagues the Lord unleashed upon Egypt. Check out Exodus 10:

Then the Lord said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward the sky, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even a darkness which may be felt." So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days. (Exodus 10:21-22)

Even the researchers commented that the 45 years difference in events was "rather striking."

Is this the Mason in you, making an appearance? Do not want to be semantic but science cannot prove or disprove God however the Bible has many scientifically accurate descriptions which preceded the views of the time. Hence the numerous examples of that webpage and countless other. You have a Bible don't you then why not check it out for yourself.
