Regarding the Existence or Absence of God

So far I've read all sorts of things regarding the bible on this tread. Things to the effect as, but the Bible was written thousands of years ago. And we're heading into the 21st century! We've seen man go to the moon. We've seen mankind take great strides in conquering the hidden mysteries of the universe. The Bible was written thousands of years ago by men with such limited knowledge.

With their limited knowledge, what could they possibly have known?

I'M GLAD YOU ASKED!

Luke 17:30, "Even thus shall it be IN THE DAY when the son of man is revealed. (vs 31) IN THAT DAY . . . (vs 34) I tell you, IN THAT NIGHT . . . " Nobody in Luke's day thought it could be day and night at the same time! They thought the earth was flat! Luke was written around 65 A.D. How did Luke know something that the scientists didn't know until the 16th century?

Isaiah 40:22, "It is he that sitteth upon the CIRCLE OF THE EARTH." How did Isaiah know in 700 B.C. the earth is round? The scientists of Isaiah's day thought the earth was flat. They didn't discover the earth is round until the early 1500s when Magellan sailed around the world. How did Isaiah know something over 2000 years ahead of science?

Job 26:7, ". . . and hangeth the earth upon NOTHING." During the time of Job, it was believed a god named Atlas held the earth on his shoulders! Nobody believed the earth "hangeth upon NOTHING!" Job is the oldest book in the Bible! Written over 3500 years ago! How did Job know something that was IMPOSSIBLE to know during his day?

Psalm 8:8, ". . . whatsoever passeth through the PATHS OF THE SEAS." After reading Psalm 8:8, Matthew Maury, a U.S. Naval officer, set out to locate these curious "paths in the seas." He discovered the oceans have paths which flow through them. He became known as the "pathfinder of the seas". How did David (the writer of Psalms) know, over 2,000 years ago, there were "paths in the seas"? David probably never even saw an ocean! HOW DID HE KNOW?
 
Have you noticed .... HE'S TALKING TO HIMSELF

He's ignoring everything and everyone whilst preaching to himself !!!
 
Ecclesiastes 1:7, "All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again." How did the writer of Ecclesiastes know the water cycle of condensation and evaporation? The sun evaporates water from the ocean, water vapor rises and becomes clouds. This water in the clouds falls back to the earth as rain, collects in rivers, and makes its way back to the ocean. This wasn't known until Galileo in 1630! How did the writer of Ecclesiastes know this in 1000 B.C.? 2500 YEARS AHEAD OF SCIENCE!

When I was in college we used to go to the beach. It was hot as hell (excuse the language Tbolt) and there was a guy that would be on the beach every day preaching. We called him Holy Joe. Don't know if anyone knew his real name. Maybe it actually was Holy Joe.

Anyway, this guy would stand there and make his pitch for Jesus and give away bibles. He would be dressed in black from head to toe. Now on Miami Beach in May and September especially, and the rest of the months also, it could get a bit uncomfortable in a bathing suit. But a black suit with a tie .... well you get the idea.

So fanatics exist. They cannot be reasoned with. They cannot reason. They KNOW one thing only, and that is enough for them. Holy Joe was not unique. Thunderbolt is not unique.

Holy Joe used to get teased a lot. College kids are not the most empathetic audience .... and you need to take into consideration this was in the late 60's. Everyone was stoned. I mean EVERYONE. And revolution was in the air. But there was no dissuading Holy Joe. I think a few times they spiked his water with LSD. Made ZERO impact. Like giving acid to a snake. A snake has no cerebrum. A zealot has no creative thought process. LSD had nothing to affect.

Just my usual disJOINTED thoughts:)

thunderbolt dude,
Theses stories are fiction. written to emulate a so called miracle from god. He was just sayin " Wow dudes, look at these rivers and the sea things , isn't it way out man, the rivers never stop flowing but the sea doesnt get full.... wooo." He was probably stoned as well
