Bible Note: Greetings Johnboy! May I interject into this discussion? You make a lot of logical leaps that are not valid in your last post. Brad's point was simply that one cannot 'repeat' your birth; therefore, it cannot be proven in a 'scientific' sense. Science demands observation and repetition. If one accepts as a given that you do in fact exist, it is certainly true that the evidence, as stated in your post, would be consistent with a natural birth. However, we could not observe or repeat your birth, so we could never really 'prove' it in the scientific sense. There are other possible, though less likely, explanations for your existence. Perhaps you were cloned, and not actually born at all. :-) Perhaps you came from another planet, and only appear to be human. Obviously, I am using hyperbole to make a point, but the point is valid. Your other logical leap is to dismiss the historical evidence that Jesus did in fact ascend into heaven. Scripture itself is historical evidence. There is no evidence that He did not ascend, so how can you simply dismiss the only evidence that you actually have? Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
