The age of the earth was established by Catholic religious scholars I believe by back tracking from the time of known events in the Bible.That's how this whole the earth is like 6000 years old malarkey got started in the first place.
And again... another thing that you cannot prove is in any way different than any other time it happens naturally in a "non-miracle" way.
NOPE! Because just like yours (as far as we can tell... and we've had a long time to look) all made up.
Wow... if your authentication of miracles, angles and talking snakes is based on... Well they knew people's names and they understood some basic geography from traveling around... that's not really gonna prove any of the hocas pocas stuff now is it? And that's the stuff in doubt... not that there was a John and there was an Egypt.
Look believe what you want. My position is clear. Religion was used in a time when the people did not have scientific knowledge. It was used to try and explain what they did not understand... it gave people an early loose government sort of rules and it gave them hope in bad times or times of conflict.
This is EXACTLY what native Americans derived from their many spirit Gods. It's simply a human trait to try and come up with answers for things that confound you.
People need to not think of the selling of religion in our times with our advanced knowledge. Think how easy it would be to be a wizard to people only scientifically advanced somewhat more than cavemen.
Me and a Bic lighter and I'd have been the GREAT PROPHET.
