In no other religion were the authors of the scriptures supernaturally confirmed with miracles. And no other religion than Christianity has a Savior that was foretold with unbelievable precision. Even the most liberal critics admit that the prophetic books were completed some 400 years before Christ, and the book of Daniel by about 167 B.C.

Professor Peter Stoner, along with 600 students, calculated the mathematical probability of just 8 (of the more than 300) New Testament prophecies being fulfilled in any one person at one chance in a hundred million billion which equates to 1 chance in a trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion. No other religious book offers anything that can compare with these supernatural predictions.

The Old Testament contains scores of prophecies about the coming of the Messiah. Barton Payne’s Encyclopedia of Biblical Prophecy list 191 on them, while Oxford scholar Alfred Edersheim cites 400. Some SPECIFIC major predictions about the Messiah, all of which WERE FULFILLED only in Jesus and could NOT be controlled by any human, was that he would be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14), of the seed of Abraham (Gen 12:1-3; 22:18), of the tribe of Judah (Gen 49:10), of the house of David (II Sam 7:12-16), in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2); He would be heralded by the Lord’s messenger (Isaiah 40:3); He would cleanse the temple (Malachi 3:1); He would be “cut off” 483 years after the declaration to reconstruct Jerusalem in 444 B.C. (Daniel 9:24-27); He would be rejected (Psalm 118:22); He would have his hands and feet pierced (Psalm 22:16); He would be pierced in His side (Zechariah 12:10); He would rise from the dead (Psalm 16:10); He would ascend into Heaven (Psalm 68:18); and He would sit down at the right hand of God (Psalm 110:1).

Let’s play. Before the big bang there was nothing in the university other than Thor and a small plate of cheese. Do you have any evidence against this?

Is it possible? Is it possible that God exists. Is it possible that a spirit world exists. Is it possible that there is life after death. Is it possible?

Any real scientist does not dismiss any thing that seams unlikely. They consider all possibilities no matter how unlikely.

Science is all about evidence, eliminating possible options though the objective evaluation of all evidence. When all possible options have been eliminated that which remains is the only possible explanation.

At this point their is not enough evidence from before the big bang (creation) or the after life. To say the do or don’t exist. Their is only opinion based on our current understanding of the universe. From the limited exposure we have to what ever evidence we may have been exposed to.

To say some thing based on fantasy is not evidence of its existence is good logic but still bad science. To dismiss some thing because you believe it stupid, or only believed by the ignorant. Is just as ignorant. To dismiss some thing because there is currently no evidence is not the same as dismissing some thing there is evidence to disprove its existence.

Yes the simplest answer is the best. But simple is a matter of opinion. To say that only the material existence is all there is a good simple answer. But to say some one created it is all so a good simple answer. Any and all logic applied to this, can not discount that it could be possible for more then a material existence. That is irresponsible science.

Please prove that there was nothing before the big bang, and their is no after life. After you have done that you can continue to attack religion. I don’t like the the way people impose there beliefs as truth, whether atheist or religious.

To argues from ones beliefs (religious) is poor from. Never the less, I believe there is not enough evidence. I believe the answer to the question Is it possible? God exists, there is life after death. The only responsible answer is Yes. Yes it is possible.

Archaeologists have uncovered more than 5500 ancient New Testament Greek manuscripts, with fragments dating back as early as the 2nd century. Counting Latin manuscripts and others, the total is 24,000 manuscripts in existence. Next to the New Testament, the greatest manuscript evidence for any other ancient work is for Homer’s Iliad, of which there are fewer than 650 copies that come a full thousand years after the original writing.

There are over 25,000 pieces of archeology supporting the bible including: Biblical sites, cities, empires, artifacts, weapons, raw material and more on record which have been located and verified using the scriptures as a guide. In fact many biblical cites still exist today.

Archaeology has corroborated the essential reliability of the New Testament. Time after time, when incidental details of the New Testament can be checked out, they emerge as being accurate. For instance, John 5:1-15 describes how Jesus healed an invalid by the pool at Bethesda, which John describes as having 5 porticoes. And for years skeptics said that the pool never existed thus John was untrustworthy, however, recently the pool was excavated and scientists discovered 5 porticoes, or colonnaded porches, just as John described.

Luke, who wrote one-quarter of the New Testament, has been found to be a scrupulously accurate historian, even in the smallest details. One archeologist carefully studied Luke’s references to 32 countries, 54 cities, and 9 islands, finding not a single error. “The general consensus of both liberal and conservative scholars is that Luke is very accurate as an historian,” said archeologist John McRay.

Taking the cosmological, ontological, teleological, philosophical, scientific, historical, prophetical, existential and theological proofs for the existence of God it is self-stultifying to state that Christianity has no basis.
