I'm glad to see you decided to discuss this further StarOfPathz.
I believe Christianity is a totally logical religion. It has historical evidence.
Yes we do have some things int he Bible that are factual according to historical finding. There are also numerous things in the Bible that have been shown to be false according to historical findings. Non of the supernatural claims have any historical evidence supporting it.
To claim that the whole of the Bible is real because it uses real elements is like to claim Spiderman comics are real because of New York existing in it or Obama became president in it. Fictional work can and often does include real historical events and factual settings.
It prophecy which has proven to be true(look at the Old Testament than look at Jesus. prophecy fufilled hundreds of years after it was written.)
First off this is using the Bible to prove the Bible. Saying that something the Bible said will happen happens later in the Bible is like saying something the Harry Potter books said would happen happens later in that book.
Often what I find in the Bible being called prophecy is nothing of the sort. It's usually just reinterpretation to make the scripture say what the person wants it to say. This is usually followed or in conjunction with overly vague prophecy where the "
rophecy" can fit multiple situations throughout history.
There are also self fulfilling prophecies where an event happens because the person or group of people read about it and made it happen.
Jesus in known to have lived, he is found in secular documents.
Actually no he's not known to have lived. yes we do have extra-biblical documents mentioning a Jesus in conjunction with Christianity. All of these are not first hand accounts. Some have been tampered with adding in Christ references. Others still are actually referring to a different Jesus.
As for any first hand historical evidence in support of his existence we have non.
I would also recommend this video series for you to watch when you get the chance. Here is the first video o the series.
Excavating The Empty Tomb - Part 1I look at the facts.
For this next part I would suggest you look a bit closer. You are very ignorant of science. Go and research what the actual scientists in the various field are saying rather than what apologetics and creationists are saying.
The earth could not have come from nothing.
No one is claiming it did. It is claimed to have come from particles left over when our sun formed. Those particles clumped together. (which particles have been shown to naturally do in space.) As these particles clumped together they grew larger and larger until we ended up with the planets we have today.
Supposing that everything did come form nothing,
Actually something from nothing is plausible when you take into account that nothing by a physicists point of view includes virtual particles and quantum fluctuations. So "nothing" in this sense is in fact something.
Evolution is improbable (look at the odds)
Okay, I happen to have a whole section on this very point on my E-Bomb. (something I would recommend you look through, it can be found on my profile.)
Examples of Random Probability A Series Unlikely Events Non-Random Probability Genetic Algorithims and Evolutionary Computation Digit Numbering and Limb Development]
Beating Astronomical Odds in addition to many other problems that I don't think it should be classified as the truth (as it is taught in schools.).
Again I would recommend that you look at the evidence supporting it and not some creationist site. (numerous links in my profile)
To all who say God is an impossibility, how do you know?
This depends on how you are defining God.
Without the Bible I would say it does not matter,
This hints at circular logic.
but I have looked at the facts of evolution,Christianity,Humanism, and Christianity seems like the one that aligns with the facts.
Just a few off the top of my head.
-The human race starting from 2 people and then later being brought down to 8 people couldn't have happened based on the genetic diversity we have.
-The Earth being formed before the Sun couldn't have happened due to the gravitational forces required. Even if we say God did it in this backwards fashion, it only serves to make God look incompetent for putting up the "house" before the "foundation" was set.
-the claim of the existence of a firmament in the sky.
-The entire order of events in genesis's creation story does not match observed evidence.
-Global flood is physically impossible due o the lack of water on the Earth alone. There are of course numerous other problems with this story.
-The development of language does not fit with the tower of Babel story.
If I felt like actually doing some searching I could go on. In short Christianity does not fit with the observed evidence we have.
