With all the charlatans who have preached in my lifetime, I am not going to listen to someone who says I have to believe the witness of certain people or spend eternity in hell.

There is only One Person who has presented His Word for you to believe. Based on His credentials (resurrecting Himself from the dead) I would say you should give serious consideration to what He says.

I would say you should give serious consideration to what He says.

Again, that requires belief in witnesses. And disbelief in all the witnesses for all the other religions in the world. As for the story of Jesus, I believe the music, but not the words. I'm quite willing to be led by his example because I feel in my heart that that's the right thing, but I anticipate no reward.

Did you witness this resurrection? were you there?

Then how come you believe it?

If you were not there, the only proof you have is someone telling you or reading it in a book.

What if they were lying?

This is the basis of the argument that you creationists throw at ecolution. We have no proof, we cannot see it.

We have plenty of facts, fossils, DNA, etc etc, but we have no REAL proof that it happened that way because we were not there.

It makes evolution just as likely as your faith in the fact that someone said, that someone said, that he rose from the dead. As a matter of fact, it makes it all that much more likely. Because we do not have it third hand, we have it directly from fossil evidence.

Hmm, creationism, no proof, bible says it to be so, or science, fossils, theory fits known facts, hmm, hard to say. NOT. I know where my bets lie.
