  8.  @fl00d69  Christianity is evidenced based. Faith is the product of truth, and truth is ultimately a person Jesus Christ who said I am the truth. Faith not from truth is blind faith, an aberration of the fundamental concept of faith which unfortunately has been popularized as the standard definition which is absurd and clearly not the type of faith presented in the bible and used to do science. Paul wrote test everything and hold fast to that which is true (1 Thessalonians 5:21). Being a Christian isn't about blind faith. Hebrews 11:1 Paul wrote the Greek "hupostasis." It means an internal unseen tangible substance of assurance, of the person of Jesus he gives as an "elegchos" which essentially means a clinical evidence like given in a court of law. It is the most important evidence one can have to give ones life to Jesus. Ultimately nothing else is or can be sufficient. Jesus, God could appear infront of you right now and do miracles and that wouldn't be enough for you or anyone to give their lives truly to him. It wasn't enough for the disciples. All the disciples denied Jesus on the cross. All the miracles and evidence Jesus was God like walking on water raising the dead, hearing God from heaven speak and say this is my Son was not enough. So why would it be enough for you? It wouldn't. Christianity should have died on the cross with Jesus. But Pentecost happened. God the Holy Spirit came and his promise is to reveal Jesus and make him real to you. That is when all the disciples would rather give their lives for Jesus than deny him, hundreds of thousands would die as martyrs in the Colosseum than deny Jesus who was then made real to them more real than walking on water or raising the dead infront of them in person. Just a reminder the apologetic case of the resurrection is based on the historical evidence and it uses the same method of reasoning mainly inference to the best explanation that Darwin uses in the Origin of Species. The New Testament shows with the physician Luke telling that they knew and understood and had the same objections we do today that a miracle goes against the laws of nature and addressed it with the story of Zechariah that a God that created it all with those laws of nature can intervene into them. To assume miracles can't happen is to wrongly assume this universe is a closed system, science does not tell us that. You are hindered by a philosophical presupposition that thinks, that is the way it must have happened. That is a big issue for a scientist, am I going to stick with what the science is saying or with my philosophical presupposition? Richard Lewontin a geneticist was very honest in stating; "The methods of science do not compel us to accept a materialistic explanation. What does? Our apriori conviction." Atheists aren't following where the evidence leads, because they are self limiting the extent of their own rationality. It's irrational in the strictest sense. Atheism and science do not mix. If the mental is purely physical, then we have no reason to have any confidence in anything our brain produces. -Thomas Nagel Atheist Having no belief in God undermines the very rational mind you require to do science and argue with. So there is nothing in genuine science to stop the belief in God, there is everything in genuine science to support the belief in God and the belief in God is what encourages the very enterprise of science which is why it birthed modern science. Men became scientific because they expected law in nature, and they expected law in nature because they believed in a law giver. There is only one ultimate type of truth that you or anyone can accept to not just believe a God exists but accept and give your life to him and know him, and that's from him giving that evidence personally as Jesus promises and does for all those that seek him.

  50.  @akio2589  Helps if you understand what is being said in the first place. You are ignoring the context of what you are citing. I too am talking about archeology, geology, astronomy. Lack of physical evidence of a tower of babel is not evidence to the contrary, in fact we know humans came from the same region around Africa thus a tower of Babel is a feasible not unfeasible claim. Furthermore mitochondrial eve and y chromosome adam data shows this and also establishes the biblical narrative we came from two ancestors. The idea of the firmament is the same as the idea of the mustard seed being the smallest seed. It was a literary device God was using at the level of understanding of the reader to get across the point so they would understand it. This can be seen across the bible. The sun circumventing the earth is not a biblical view. Once again you aren't establishing the context of what you are reading which I assume is a passage talking about everything revolving around what's happening on earth or even more so relating angels sometimes called stars in whatever you are talking about. What global flood? Noahs flood story says the flood was on the world of man, not judgment on the earth. Once again you aren't looking at the context. We don't know the extent man had spread at that time thus the size of the flood needed. There are floods we can point to. And so on and so on. The historicity of the biblical text is exemplary and proven more accurate many times than secular accounts. To assume miracles can't happen is to wronging assume this universe a closed system, that's your blind faith. The biblical authors acknowledge miracles are unusual events which we can talk about.
