Christianity is, like all religions, faith-based, not evidence-based. We've seen God's work in our lives and perhaps base our faith in that, or we refuse to see it. No artifact will change that, nor should it. I've been on both sides of that aisle, and so I see that an oversize ego kept me from accepting Christ. When a power greater than ourselves becomes unthinkable, atheism arises


I unequivocally agree with you. And because I believe the Bible is the living word of God I also believe that artifacts/finds (which by the way, there have been many finds to validate Biblical history) can also be something that a non-believer can look at to be a tangible thing to tug at their hearts to give it another look. Don’t get me wrong, Christianity is absolutely faith based but I also think archeological finds just further validates the Bible.

As such, that’s why I posed my original question to non-believers if there could be a find that would change their stance (or at least give it another look).

The Pharisee's were the uber religious.

They were the ones the Sadducee's were afraid were going to side with JESUS. It why they Sad-baws pushed for an unheard of night court session. And rushed into silencing him. Because the Pharisee's had reform in mind and would have listened intently to the reformer Jesus. The powers that be, the Sadduce, the ruling elite in league with Rome did not want his message vetted... it would not be good for business... and Rome got the message loud and clear in that night session.

I believe “Noah’s Ark” is an old old wooden ship used during the Civil War era

Is that ark big enough to house two each of the approx 6.5 million land species on the earth?


Incorrect choice of words. "Species" were not put on the Ark. The Lord told Noah to get 2 of each "Kind". There is a big difference.

Sure. Just ignore all those 100's of millions of other species that did one or the other.

How super duper convenient.


Nature doesn't work the way we think, apparently.

This presupposes that something must change. The theory of evolution does not suggest that life forms must change drastically over time because time is not the only factor.

The horseshoe crab hasn't changed much because it hasn't had to.

I’m with you. But if we really want to make a difference, then we use this evidence to strengthen our own faith- which should cause us to live more like Jesus, which is the most effective witness one can be.

This is me, reminding myself of this, before I waste half of my day attempting brain surgery on someone who really just needs a heart transplant.

They even found the anchors.


Anchors are never mentioned in the Bible. According to text, the Ark simply came to rest on a mountain as the water receded. Also wood doesn't petrify to that extent in 4,000 years. It shouldn't take this long to prove that this particular site is anything more than a geological feature.

I can guarantee there will be no body found to disprove Christianity.
the scientific method requires that the proposer of a thing must be the one burdened to prove the thing. You describe “proving a negative” which is impossible (as you surely know)

If you were to say for example that apples cure cancer, it would be impossible for me to disprove that. But that is not my burden, it is yours to prove that they do

So all Christians are supposed to take a Daily News story as absolute fact and if they question it, that makes them an atheist? When did the Daily Mail become a voice of God for anybody?
