Science is very young.It is unable to explain everything happening in our very earh.For example let me quote Nobel laureate Carlo Rubbia-"The identity of 95% of what constitues the universe is not known and experiments are being conducted"If this is the case how can u site scientific evidences.Know what Einstein used to say, he felt like a child playing at the sea shore when the ocean of knowledge stretched before him.

I am glad that you think Jesus was just a man, he was some people even think that he never existed because he never left and writings in his own hand, or he was illiterate
Here is a more scientific explanation of how myths get started. First off let me say there are many Gods, from Zeus, to Jupiter, apollo, etc All made up. In ancient Greece Fossils decorated many temples and from these
we get Cyclops, griffin and so on. Finding fossils of some dinosaur heads with lots of teeth
even a mammoth head. The Mammoth was broken up but looked like a head with one eye
The small dinosaur head never seen before, the Griffin is bornThe fossils were collected and are now in Museum of natural history. It explains a lot. You might see a giant leg bone but not a complete skeleton, with a little imagination the giant gods are born. These stories are handed down going from country to country. that's why there were thousands of ancinet Gods. Not all stories were from fossils but it takes very little for a story to become inflated. Cho, don't just dismiss me when i tell you that God is not real. I think most people have a physcolgical need to believe in God
You might do well to read books by David Mills and others See what they have to say.

So if they found a big piece of bone why didn't they mistake it for a rock or something else??Why give a superhuman touch to it??

I believe this is true, God is simply a method to come to terms with death. Humans find it hard to accept that there will be nothing after death. Everythign else is constructed around this initial seed.

Capuchin, that is what i think. Cho i changed my signature just for you. Check it out if you have time It's a great website and might answer your questions in more detail. From there you can get to the forum. There are many sections to it for Atheists, former Christians, Christians even a science section

So worker bee:

you changed your signature. Because god made me an atheist, though a joke, ironically acknowledges God and absolves you of the choice you make.


Lets see, your type of god would have to prove himself to you with all sorts of miracles and supernatural feats. No choice, no effort to decide. What kind of god is that? One at your beck and call to make your life here on earth better? One that does not give you the free will to love back. No wonder you do not believe. So enjoy your time here - its limited, there is nothing after death, as you say.

1 John 4: 7-21 - in fact the whole epistle.
that is my kind of God.
