Hi Princess,I think this will answer your question.Take a look at it. It is not a long read.http://atheism.about.com/od/aboutagnosticism/a/atheism.htmTim

I am not muslim and most likely would never convert to Islam,but if I had to vote on who among you gives the most calm, reasonable arguments,Bod would win hands down. No name calling, or petty jabs, he just states his position on the matter.Tim

The one or two lines at the bottom seldom say anything new.Tim

Quote (Ed J @ Jan. 28 2012,02:44)Hi Tim,To which video do you refer?B'shemYHVHThe video right before my post.Tim

I thought that it was funny, and no I didn't understand it.Tim

Anyone holding the Adoptionist view would not be considered a believer in this forum.Tim

I think that it is ironic that every negative thing that Ed finds concerning Allah and the koran is identical to what is said about Yhvh and the bible.I have pointed them out, Bod has pointed them out but Ed does not see them.Tim

Many of those were the same inconsistencies that I found in the bible which caused me to doubt it.Tim

Hi Ed,It is not a myth.Biologists have witnessed species changing to new species within the closed-system model of islands. Why would any rational person want to deny what can be easily observed in this day and age.It is a shame that your belief system forces you to remain in the dark ages in regards to science.Tim

If nothing else, you have to admire Bod's tenacity and patience.Tim

Careful Ed.You know what happens to people who add to the scriptures.Tim
