Archaeology of the New Testament

Into the Night said:
It is certainly possible.

But, consider this:

Earth is beautiful. Whether you are on the surface looking at a forest or out across the plains, it's wide variety of vegetation, lakes, rivers, streams, oceans, and even the deserts are a feast for the eyes, or when you see it from space. Yes, it happens to be our home, but what a beautiful home it is!

It is just the right size for our atmosphere to form as it has. Combined with oceans, and oxygen in the atmosphere, everything is provided for to keep our temperatures in a very narrow range and to protect life from the harsh radiation of open space. Further, the atmosphere is 'recycled', so to speak through animal life and plant life. Both are required for the other.

Earth is active, but benign. It has a liquid mantle and core, producing a changing surface but without killing everyone and everything. That core also provides for a magnetic field that no only is an aid to navigation, but protects us from the harsh solar wind or our nearby star. It even produces a pretty effect...the auroras.

We are just the right distance from the center of the galaxy. We are close enough to see many stars, but far enough that our sky isn't obscured with dust. Even the view from Earth is beautiful.

It is the only planet we know of that can support life. Admittedly, our view is extremely limited, but at least in this solar system, no other planet has this capability.

Life itself somehow arrived on Earth. How did this happen? Abiogenesis would result in a cell, but what is that cell going to eat? How would it survive the UV from the Sun? Did life originate on Earth (making it even MORE remarkable!), or was it placed here by some intelligence? If the latter, could such intelligence have manipulated conditions on Earth for that life to survive and flourish?

In other words, it is also quite possible the Earth was supplied by an intelligence, who also manipulated conditions on Earth for that life to survive and grow.

Does a cow know that she was bred by a rancher for a specific use? Provided a pasture to graze in, and a barn to stay out of the weather in.
Does a cow know that both the pasture, the barn, and the milking parlor were all provided by the rancher? Or does it simply exist to the cow much as the Earth simply exists to us?

To the cow it makes no difference, but the rancher knows better.
To us, it makes no difference, but the 'designer' would know better.

So yes, you can look at it either way.

See the hints of Falun Gong beliefs folks


Aliens planted life on earth for its harvest

They will harvest mankind soon

Crazy assed shit

The very first sentence doesn’t comport with known science

He starts out all sciencey

And ends with Falung Gong bullshit about scary aliens
 
I go by science

It’s the best knowledge we have at any given moment in time


Religion is ancient and void of mountains of facts that we know existl



Why should we go by ancient levels of knowledge that doesn’t fit the known world


You have your religion

Many people have differing religions


Yet all those ancient religions say they are the one and only truth

That means the vast Majority of religions are completely wrong


How did you choose your flavor of ancient text to deem as the one and only truth using no science in that deduction?

Organized Religion has virtually nothing to do with theology!
