> Tony: When I have presented quotes from historians, they historians credentials and sources were discarded. When I have presented fulfilled prophecies, they have been discarded. When I have presented archaelogical evidence, it has been discarded. When science provides evidence, it is discarded. So, the question becomes, what is acceptable as valid evidence if not history, science, archaeology, or an accuracy rating that smashes the Law of Probabilities?-I know what you believe and what you have presented as truth. But the Biblical record is mainly hearsay, and the historian record likewise. I've looked at what Catholics call miracles, and I am just as skeptical there. The ossuary containing James bones, supposedly brother of Joshua (Jesus), is apparently a fake. There is no absolute solid evidence that Jesus existed except the stories about him. I happen to believe they are true, but I cannot prove my belief. Josephus' mention of Jesus is said to be a fraudulent entry, not Josephus' writings. Some scholars claim this. I'm not knowledgeable enough to know for sure what to believe. If your 'prophecies' were crystal clear valid, there wouldn't be all this debate. They are interpretations. You are happy with them. I am not.
