". . . it would be outright idiocy and stupidity to say otherwise. Each old fact thatis disproved, is replaced with a new set of facts . . ."

ROTFL Facts cannot be disproved, can they?

"Have you read the gospel of Thomas? how about the gnostic gospels? Dead Sea Scrolls?"

Yes. However, I do not understand what The Gospel of Thomas (attributed to Didymos Judas Thomas), has to do with evolution since it is a collection of the sayings of Jesus and closely parallels the Synoptic Gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and in it Christ mentions Adam as the first man. Is that your point perhaps, or do you have another?

". . . a great many others that the councils decided did not agree with them and therefore were thrown out and as many copies destroyed as possible."

And what is your point? That every ancient book dealing with Christians, gnostics or Jews wasn't included in the Bible? As I said, The Gospel of Thomas contains much of the same material covered by the New Testament Gospels. It is not as eloquent, as organized or as intact as the four gospels that were chosen.

"How about the conversion of Constantine, do you know about that?"

Yes. And again, what is your point?

"How about the crucifiction, do you know what happened? before they added him rising from the dead of course."

Yes and no. Who were "they"? When did "they" add this? How did "they" add this? You know this is a fact because . . . ?

"Do you know why Jesus Birthday is in December, or how about Easter being so near Spring equinox? Do you know the history and true origins of Christmas? How about the history and true origins of Easter? Could be very enlightening for you."

Yes, yes, yes and yes. The Bible never mentions Christmas or Easter, but it does warn about the "traditions of men" on several occasions. Is that what you mean, or are you just trying to change the subject? What is your point?

"Do you know what an Essene was?Do you know who simon Bar Kochba is?
Do you know who wrote the gospels that are in the bible and when?
I have lots of resources Elsie, your point again was what?"

Yes, Aric, I know these things and more, as I'm sure many others do as well. You do not have an exclusive franchise on knowledge. What was your point with these questions?

It seems to me that you were saying that in science old facts are disproved and replaced with new facts on a regular basis, which is true. In Christianity that is not so. The facts are what they are and they've remained rather constant for 2,000 years. Does that bother you?

Fools may blaspheme and deride belivers, but in so doing, they simply fullfill what the Bible says about scoffers and mockers. Facts do not change. Simon Bar Koziba was not Messiah, Christ was. Have you ever met a Kozibian Aric?

Science changes with the seasons and has a history of frauds, miscalculations and incorrect assumptions. God is constant and has never said, "Oh wait, I've realized I've made a mistake".
