anti-theist, anti-deist and anti-logical.

I merely point out the lack of evidence.

[Soliton]

But do you beleive that your parents love you?

With your very own logic YOU can’t prove Darwin existed

There is lots of extra-biblical evidence that Darwin existed including his descendants.

[Soliton]

Sheesh to be so smart you sure make lots of mistakes...!!Constantine was born 250 or more years after Jesus is said to have died. He is hardly contemporaneous. Nice try.

[Soliton]

Tacitus was born 50 years after Jesus was crucified. Not contemporaneus.

[Soliton]

Please read your own posts. Josephus was born 4 years after the crucifixian. Not contemporaneous

[Soliton]

Such brash positioning is evidence that a person is so stuck in their anti-christian

Most of the people I love are Christians. I just think it is ridiculous to confuse faith with knowledge.

[Soliton]

You’re seriously suggesting that there may be NO answer to the question “how did we get here?”

You are willing to accept that one thing always existed, but not another thing. You are intellectually conflicted.

The idea that faith and knowledge are two separate entities is a relatively recent invention. A short book that charts the development of the schism is Escape from Reason by Francis Schaeffer. A more in-depth version is The God Who Is There by the same author.

Faith: 1) Naive, not critical, believing on slight or uncertain evidence

Yes, that's one of the modern variants.

[ Darwinism is, so far, man's "best shot" at attempting to understand how life (once it started) arrived at the condition in which it now exists. ]

If man evolved from primates then where did the primates evolve from... on back like that..
If evolution of primates(people) happened then God might be a mental construct..

If it didn't happen then God might NOT be a mental construct.. and there is some other answer(s) to human origination..

No doubt about it.. faith is required to believe any supposition of orgination.. If you believe in God that "is" a mental construct then.. what is lost?.. If you do not believe in a God that is a mental construct then.. what is to be gained?..

Because God might not be a mental construct.. and not your mental accuity(smartness) is being tested but your faith..

I think I’m beginning to “get” where you’re coming from.

It definitely isn’t “intellectualism” that is driving your disdain for Christianity... something else has happened. Sorry about that. Turning your back on God and Jesus is not the answer though.

[Kevmo]

If that is truly what is going on in your mind, then I pity you.
