    What is your clear evidence that the story of Zeus has no basis in fact ? Are you making things up again ?

    Do you have evidence to prove that Bible stories such as talking Donkeys are not myth ?

    Not being able to prove God does not exist is not proof for the validity of the Bible or any other Holy Book.

    I did not claim the story of Thor was true. It was you that asserted I had. We do not know whether or not there was some factual basis for Thor. No one does.

    There are Bible stories that have been shown to be fiction. That all land creatures were destroyed in a global flood is just one.

    That Christ cried tears of blood is another (a story added after the fact by an overzealous scribe).
    So far you have not been able to provide any easy answer just full of faults.


    You have no clue about science so why are you pretending to speak for scientists. What scientists know is that the Flood story as written in the Bible is myth.

    They do not know for certain whether or not the stories of Thor having some special hammer are true or not.

    As usual you have no evidence to back up your made up claims. Post one Scientist who claims that the story of Thor's hammer can not possibly be true.

    On the other hand, there are many scientists who claim that the flood story can not possibly be true.


    I did not say Thor is not fiction. Why do you continue to put words in my mouth.
    Which God ? Zeus, Thor or both ? and how do you know nothing is impossible for this God ?

    Are you making things up that Zeus story is not myth!

    Yes I do, the Bible clearly stated that it was not the donkey that spoke it was God.
    Numbers 22:28 Then the LORD opened the donkey's mouth, and it said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?"

    In that case you have no proof simply put it.

    Everyone knows that Zeus is a myth... and Giftedone never claimed otherwise.

    "everyone" is an absolute. Are you certain about that claim? Where is the proof that will support that claim?

    Let's just say that everyone who actually finished high school has studied Greek Mythology just a bit.

    In other words you are declaring that it was necessary to correct you in your illogical statement.

    The inability to prove the negative does not prove the positive.

    Nope! Why do you ask? Now what does your inquiry have to do with the declaration you made about "everybody knows"?

    I agree everyone knows Zeus is a myth. And Giftedone does not seems to know that?

    I only shared my comment that the story of Thor is fiction and myth. We do not know whether or not there was some factual basis for Thor. No one does.....I thought you just say that you do not believe Thor story is true and now you are claiming it might be true?????

    Not fiction but in parables. Creatures will perished in global flood that is a reality just like all the dinosaurs suddenly disappeared.

    Luke 22:44 He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood.

    No where did it said it was actually blood. Your intentional misquotation the Bible is the problem not the Bible.


    I do not speak for scientist I agree with scientist and what they know is that a global calamity in biblical proportion will destroy the earth if humans do not stop endangering nature scientist are echoing what Noah did when he warned the people thousands of years ago about global flooding.

    You are contradicting yourself either you believe Thor story is fiction or not as you can see I do not have to put words in your mouth you are uttering it yourself.

    Steven Hawkins in fact he does not believe in any gods.

    Many scientist also agree that global flood is true and can happen again that is why they have been sending many warnings to governments and the public of such catastrophe.

    I don't have to put words in your mouth for you can speak clearly for yourself.

    There you go from your own words Zeus, Thor again.

    That is why you have not been able to disprove the Bible not only don't you have any positive but you also have no negative proof.

    NO-ONE has ever proved the Bible is the Word of God. No-one has ever proved the existence of a God.

    Crikey, I look in on a 'tea break' and you're still arguing.

    I thought that Christians consider God's greatest gift to man was Jesus His Son. Was Lincoln wrong?

    Back to the Greenhouse.

    No one has been able disprove the Bible historicity or that the Bible is not the Word of God. No one has been able to disproved the existence of God that is why all the deniers have are words no proof or evidences.

    Deniers will always argue because they lack any solid proof to support their claims in fact they don't even take tea or coffee breaks day and night they argue.


    Lincoln wasn't wrong Jesus Christ was the greatest evidence of God's existence and Abraham Lincoln: In regard to this Great Book, I have but to say, it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are to be found portrayed in it.

    Remember to use your God given creativeness to counter climate change.

    And WanRen never said that Giftedone does "believe" in the Greek myths. Watch the semantics involved real closely... they are tricky sometimes.

    What he is saying is that the writings of the NT are actually History Reports which people have also made into their Bible, and called themselves Christians.

    You may read these same writings and not be religious.
    But they report what people said actually happened in 32AD.

    ..."some book"...?

    You mean the writings which the Christians call their new testimony from 32AD, right?
    You don't see these writings as History?

    Why not?
    The Jews also wrote about these same events inside their Talmud, which reports their views of what happened.

    Why aren't these History just like every other history writing is???

    And what would you like to be produced. There are many books which deny the existence of God. That should suffice to combat your book which says there is. After all they are all books written by human beings. Prove otherwise.

    We pay attention. It is how we know you are in like with WanRen's assessment of worldwide cannibalism of all children, babies, and fetuses.

    "We"???? Are you perhaps allowing multiple spirits to occupy your mind?

    I never said any such thing. Quit making accusations against me that are not true.

    Just because a religious texts tell stories, does not make those stories true.

    If that were the case then all the stories of the numerous Hindoo Gods is true. Do you believe in all the Hindoo Gods as well ?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Correct there no proof that Zeus does not exist. That does not make the claim that Zeus does exist true.

    Just because one does not believe a story, does not mean that story can not be true.

    I can say "I do not believe that 1000-1 odds horse can win the race" This does not mean it is not possible for the horse to win the race. It just means that it is highly improbable.

    It is painful that I have to explain these obvious facts to you like you are some 4 year old child.

    Are you ?

    That does not mean that Hawkins is claiming that God's are not possible.

    Painful that this needs to be explained to you.
