The Jesus Myth

.Christopher Hitchens on Jesus and the Exodus
.
Interested in family and friends,grandchildren, photography, darkrooms, history, archaeology, scuba diving, computers, software, fast cars, journalism, writing, travel, ecology, news, science, and probably most other subjects you could think of. Did I mention family and friends?? I require iced tea or cold brewed coffee and a internet connection to be fully functional.
Sometimes there are just so many words in my head they spill out.

- The Catholic Church and Adam and Eve July 29, 2014The Catholic Church faces a real conundrum; on the one hand they do accept much of evolution and the things that it implies. They do accept that much of the Old Testament is nothing but allegory, the Noachian Flood was not real, the earth (and universe) is billions of years old…not 6000, etc.. These tales […]
- Destroying America July 23, 2014The things that the Reverend Barber is railing against here are the favorite projects of the Republican Party nowadays. They do not help America anymore, they are destroying it piece by piece. “It is extreme and immoral to suppress the right to vote,” It is extreme and immoral to deny Medicaid for millions of poor […]
- All Religions Blaspheme Each Other June 9, 2014“. . .because all the major religions in fact blaspheme one another, and ought by their principles to engage in crusade or jihad each against the others – a profoundly disturbing thought. They blaspheme each other in numerous ways. All non-Christians blaspheme Christianity by their refusal to accept the divinity of Christ, because in […]

- Close the NSA ? October 25, 2013The latest moral crisis to ruffle the feathers of both the common man and celebrities is the recent leaks regarding the NSA’s surveillance programs. Under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the agency is given the power to collect Americans’ phone metadata in bulk, and not even the rich and powerful are immune. Read more at: […]
- Spying on Flyers October 25, 2013Security check now starts long before you fly. “The Transportation Security Administration is expanding its screening of passengers before they arrive at the airport by searching a wide array of government and private databases that can include records like car registrations and employment information,” according to the New York Times. “While the agency says […]
- Saturated Fat May Be Good For You October 25, 2013British cardiologist Aseem Malhotra writes in a stinging “Observations” column in the British Medical Journal): Virtually all the truths about preventing heart attacks that physicians and patients have held dear for more than a generation are wrong and need to be abandoned, Malhotra writes. He musters a passel of recent research that suggests that the “obses […]
- Electronic Surveillance is Everywhere October 25, 2013We live in the golden era of surveillance; every phone is designed to be tapped, the Internet passes through snooping equipment of agencies that are so vast and unaccountable that we hardly know their bounds. Corporations are forced (though some are willing enough!) to hand over our data and data of those whom we love. […]

The Word of Me... 
There’s these “cool little stories” He told called parables.Look ’em up sometime.
Cheerio.
Did you know that we aren’t really sure we have the words of Jesus
You have another theory?I would be happy to hear it.
Then there is the theory that Jesus didn’t even exist. Reason being that we KNOW Adam and Eve never existed…therefore there was no ‘Original Sin’…therefore there was no need for Jesus to expiate out nonexistent sins.
Paul pretty much invented ‘Christianity.’ And he never even meet the man.
And you know Adam and Eve didn’t exist how?Also Paul didn’t write the Bible and or invent Christianity since there were more then seventy two people involved in the foundation of Christianity.
Archaeological, paleoanthropological, and DNA/genome evidence that shows modern man (Homo-sapiens) was walking the earth around 200,000 years ago. The DNA evidence showing that there was never just two progenitors. Or 6/8 if you believe the flood story.
Oh yeah, Noah’s flood and certain other stories from the Bible are just not happenin’ in real life. There is SO much wrong with the Bible.
This DNA evidence you have must be second hand because you can’t take a modern human’s DNA and use it to explain what happened 200,000 years ago.The Flood is a proven fact.There is evidence that the world had experienced a mass flood that occurred about 4,300 years ago.

Below are listed several pages of scientific evidence about the flood and evolution. You should note the extensive list of scientific references in those pages. You should also note that the Catholic Encyclopedia of 1908 says that Catholics are no longer required to believe the Noachian flood happened. It has been thoroughly disproven…there are no mainstream geologists or archaeologists who believe in a global flood…at any time.

From your Catholic Encyclopedia
“Two hundred years of theological and scientific study devoted to the question have thrown so much light on it that we may now defend the following conclusions:
The geographical universality of the Deluge may be safely abandoned
Neither Sacred Scripture nor universal ecclesiastical tradition, nor again scientific considerations, render it advisable to adhere to the opinion that the Flood covered the whole surface of the earth.”
Maas, A. (1908). Deluge. In The Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Robert Appleton Company. Retrieved September 24, 2012 from New Advent: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04702a.htm
There is NO real evidence of a world-wide flood. You references to AiG and ICR are not good sources for FACTS at all. They are ‘liars for Jesus’ and their ‘science’ has been refuted time and time again.
Perhaps the best read about the flood is from a Davis A. Young, an evangelical Christian geologist from Calvin College. It’s rather long, but well worth the time:
http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/p82.htm
Regarding the myth of Adam and Eve; we know they are myth in a kind of roundabout way. Archaeologists/paleoanthropologists have found many skeletons of Homo-sapiens that can be placed at near 200,000 years ago. They have also found evidence of tool making, hunting kills, human residences going back that far.
Below is a link to a well respected scientist who has written a book about evolution and is here writing about Adam and Eve and DNA. He can explain the matter far better than I can.

We humans are the last in the line of ‘Homo’ species. Those ‘Homos’ that have died out are: Homo-heidelbergensis, Homo-neanderthalensis, Homo-erectus, Homo-habilis, etc., and they are known and understood to be our antecessors. There is a clear progression from early hominids that stood upright to more intelligent and prolific bigger brained ‘Homos’
Another place you can explore is the Smithsonian Institutes display: “Hall of Human Origins” at: http://humanorigins.si.edu/ , and in person, as I believe that is a permanent installation.
So now we have Noah’s Flood and Adam and Eve disproven. There is more. The Tower of Babel never happened, and the Exodus never happened…this can be proven by circumstantial evidence. Oh, and Joshua’s conquests can be disproven the same way.
Of course The Flood, Tower, Exodus, and Joshua all pale in comparison to the Adam and Eve story. Paul should never have tied ‘Original Sin’ to the mythical first couple when he made up Christianity. Adam and Eve is going to break the camels back.
