And just WHO is "God"??? Can you PROVE that God parted the Red Sea?? No, you can't. I will say that there is more written evidence to support that visitors from another planet (or time) have come to Earth.
No, I think that you're wrong, at least in the time frame that is alleged that the pyramids were built. Also, Humans weren't so intelligent in that era that they could get the alignment as closely as they did to true North.
Again, I disagree, for the most part. The Bible was written by men and assembled by men. (Research Constantine at 325 A.D.)
The why are there distinct drawings and distinct pictures of spacecraft that pre-date our ventures into space by THOUSANDS of years which CANNOT be debunked?
Like vesta stated, there is No reason that science & religion cannot be blended and in all actuality, there is MORE reason for science & religion to be blended. I also don't buy the strictly scientific attempts at explaining away some of the historic religious miracles. Those "miracles" were far too coincidental to be explained in the way that some folks try.
Explain the Manna Machine. There is PROOF that it existed and even further proof that it worked. Who or what gave the Israelites that machine? Who taught them how it worked??
Hell, let's go back to the beginning, Genesis.... To summarize, God made Adam from dust. OK. Then how did God change dust into a human. MY answer is some sort of genetic manipulation. An even better example of cloning is when God made Eve from Adam's rib.
And in Exodus: 19:9. The Lord said to him: Lo, now will I come to thee in the darkness of a cloud, that the people may hear me speaking to thee, and may believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the Lord.
This is typical of some extra-terrestrial visits. There was also something about a barren woman (I want to say Sarah, but I could be wrong) who was fairly aged and all of a sudden was able to bear children.
Then we can get into the New Testament and the Virgin Mary. This represents an alien abduction and implantation. Was Jesus a human-alien hybrid?? Possibly.
Like I said, you are not going to change my mind on the matter. I do NOT intend to change yours. In the end, we'll know what the truth is.

Thor, this brings to mind a Catholic Priest that made mention that even if the story of Immaculate conception did not occur as written, nether the less Mary was the mother of Jesus----A riot broke out in the church and that poor liberal Priest got punched squarely in the nose by one of the members of the Parish. Most interesting church service I have ever been to.
Theory's abound and the pagan faiths had their Gods born of virgins, seems that normal men and woman could not give birth to a God. Had to be that way, outher wise just anyone could claim to be a God.
I find it interesting that in the Bible New Testament the disciples came to Jesus and told him there were others that made the same claims and created miracles in the same way Jesus did. What were they, the disciples to do about them. IIRC correctly Jesus told them to leave them alone as long as they were doing the work of God.
20 years is a long time in the life of a youngster--12-32 or so-- where was he, was he studying with the Essene, the faith of Joseph.?
Why is it when I ask questions in order to understand the Bible people jump all over me for asking logical question or even wanting to examine a 2000 year old book.?
I become confused with the history of Christianity, was it at the Diet of Worms that 600 years or so after the life of Jesus the trinity was placed into the Christian faith.?
There are many people on earth that can duplicate with hook or by crook the workings of Jesus, Lazarus's was risen from the dead for example. Question here is if he in fact dead or in a coma.
The one thing that really unsettles me about Jesus was when he asked a disciples who was with him at the time, who had touche his cloak as he had felt his strength drain out of him. How could that be unless he was either using this as an excuse to rest or was he who he said he was---
No doubt about it Jesus became one of the most interesting man to walk the earth. Fascinating that just 2 years of his life has caused such controversy, love and hate in the world. Wars, torture and mayham. Love and devotion and civilization of others.
However he got here and the question of if he was God himself, or as he repeated, just the Son of God, and then telling his followers that they also were the children of God, will never be answered.
One could ask the same questions about Buddha, or any other intellectual that rules the lives of millions.
Now about the Muslims, they also swear that thousands of people watched as Mohamed aboard his white horse assended into heaven in a cloud. No mention of what happend to the horse, did the poor thing fall back to earth as heaven was for people not animals.?
I watched a documentary where a world famous contractor decided to try to replicate the building of the Grand Pyramid in 25 years on paper, using modern technology. He had the all the big time bull boozers, the cranes that could lift 50 tons, laser cutters to cave the stone and on paper 100,000 workers that would put in the hours that the workers did 8,000 years ago. Logistics, how to feed and cloth the workers, shelter them. He even put in helicopters to fly the top stones into place.
With modern technology he figured out it would take 60 years to replicate that pyramid using the best of the best things we have today.
Question here is who built that darn thing in 25 years as we are told.?
We are told the Egyptians built all this and the Spinx's. bull shit, I believe these things were in place when the first people came out of the
jungles and settled on the Nile.
Lots to question in our past history, things that mankind cannot duplicate today with all our technology.
I do believe in a god, and I also believe I would not recognise him if I bumped into his big toe.
I don't want to get into all the pyramids found all over the earth at this time---it boggles my mind where the information on how to build these things to cultures that were not yet into the iron age came about.
