Christian Dating Guide
Christian / Anti-Christian propaganda?
I'd like to hear some propaganda used to make a religious arguement and what makes it misleading. For example: The story about NASA discovering a missing day, and a Christian advisor explains to NASA that the bible claims God stopped the sun for 1 day. Turns out it never happened. NASA never discovered a "lost day", Harold Hill (the Christian advisor) DID advise for NASA...on what diesel generators to buy. This entire NASA story is based on Hill's comments in a book he wrote, and it turns out the "we found a missing day" legend existed years before NASA even existed. Another one: C14 can't date past 50k years (to imply that its not possible to date anything older than 50k years). True...but argon dating can! Funny how that got left out. One for the Christian crowd: Only the bible claims Jesus existed. Nope, he's mentioned in the Gnostic Gospels, and a few historians of the day mentioned "This guy named Jesus gathering a following in Isreal." Any others?
Public Comments
- "Only the Bible claims Jesus existed." The Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus confirmed his Existence. Actually, most historians would never deny His Existence.
- Here's a good list of the crazy claims that Creationists make: http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/
- That "no new information is ever created through evolution." It's either very ignorant or an outright lie, like most creationists comments.
