.................. If you are a follower of Christ there is no disputing the fact that the earth is thousands of years old........................

Sorry! Christ didn’t write the bible.

God didn’t scribe the bible.

A bunch of men, who pre-dated Christ, scribed on tablets or paper or animal skins, their interpretation of what messages in their head told them.

Then some Catholic monks centurys later, decided what to include in their “bible”, and what to exclude in their “bible”, and wrote their interpretion of what the tablets recorded, and what the Pope wanted included.

A very similar situation to what Mohammad scribed 700 years after Christ’s passing. He scribed what was in his head, creating the Koran.

Yet you believe what the tablets record, but reject what the Koran records.

Same basis, but fortunately a different religion.

Well, not exactly...

Christ studied and re-affirmed much of what was written by Moses, and referenced many other Biblical texts in His teachings.

He simply affirmed the truthfulness and reliability of these old testament prophets.

Ever hear of prophecy? Try reading Psalm 22 as it foretells many things describing Christ’s crucifixion and predates this execution method by hundreds of years!

Or try some related reading...

“More than a Carpenter” by Josh McDowell

“The Signature of God” by Grant Jeffries

3 books on tape I’d highly recommend by Lee Strobel

“The Case for Christ”
“The Case for Faith” &
“The Case for Creation”

- maybe some of these writings will open your ignorant eyes enough to see christianity and the Bible does not deserve to be compared with the muslim religion nor the koran.

Where do you think the scientific movement has it’s roots? Notwithstanding the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence either!!!

read a little history about how the Koran was recorded, and your comparison falls extremely short. It’s like calling night day. Muhammed went into trances, and his disciples recorded what he said, not muhammed. He was illiterate. Personally I am positive it was demon possession. Go back and read your history. You couldn’t be more wrong.
