    How Old is the Earth?

    The Biblical account of history has been proven to be more accurate than a lot of scientific and scholarly supposition. Egyptology is one example: "Egypt is in a class all by herself in the study of archaeology and ancient civilizations. As we shall soon see, I believe that the entire premise...

    How Old is the Earth?

    I agree the earth is pretty old. And no human knows how old. They really can only guess. You put your trust in the works of men. You don't understand the Bible, so you call IT ignorant. Science needs constant self correction. The Bible does not need it. There is nowhere in the bible...

    The Gospels are not Historical

    I think what he was trying to say is that the researcher had a predispositioned bias against the text and was unable to look at it in an unbiased manner. Like a person who hates cats could not make an objective study of cats. They are predisposed to find their point of view valid, even if they...

    The Gospels are not Historical

    He offended the Jewish and Roman scholars, lawyers, priests, and rulers of his days here on earth. He said many would be offended because of our belief in him today. He said it would be so. He also said that his followers would be persecuted. And increasingly so in the latter days. It really...

    How Old is the Earth?

    There are several mentions of behemoth and leviathan in the bible. There are mentions of giants, nephelim and raphaiem, offspring of the fallen angels.There are mentions of some being cast into the outer darkness. Aliens? Pffft! Dunno. It don't matter. They offer me a ride, I'm not getting in!

    How Old is the Earth?

    Fossil evidence proves the dinasaurs existed, but not when. A fossilized human legbone was recently discovered in Texas. It is quite real. So is the remains of a cowby boot it is wearing. Dinasaur tracks have been found in rock. Accompanied by human tracks. They do not tell when they were made...

    How Old is the Earth?

    I like all the opinions expressed here in this thread. It is a very interesting subject, and a lot of controversy surrounds it. I think there are big errors on both sides, science and religion. I believe the earth is much younger than science believes. I believe it is much older than religion...

    Bible Versions

    So then......the authors of the modern versions must be lying when they claim authorship and ownership of God's word? Or are they saying it is their word and not God's? You can see where the question of copyright comes into play in people's delima. For the record, I have nine different...

    Bible Versions

    A person has to swear and affirm that they are the sole author of a literary work. They claim to propriatary ownership and authorship of the words. The translators of the KJV did not claim such. They translated the accepted early Greek "Textus Receptus" into king's English at the request of King...

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_copyright Copyright is much older than that. And many authors estates continue to collect copyright fees. Why do you think Elvis is richer now than before he died? ;)

    Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ...how strong is it now?

    What does this mean?

    Tarot cards are fake. People who believe that stuff are deceiving themselves on what is real. You want your life ruled by chance draw of cardboard and ink? Take up poker.

    DOn't wish too hard for a return to gas prices of the "old days". You might just get your wish. If we paid the same now that we paid during the oil embargo of 1973, oil would be $89.00 a barrel in adjusted dollars. You could only buy gas on even/odd days according to youe license plate. Some...

    "California is particularly vulnerable to price spikes because it can't produce enough gasoline in the state to meet its needs and it must use specially formulated gasoline to meet clean-air standards in summer months, she says. The special blend of gasoline costs more and is available from only...
