I’m not really sure that carbon dating would prove anything, the bible doesn’t say much about when Jesus was suppose to be alive. It mentions Pontius Pilate, who was in power around 36–39 AD, but naming the wrong roman official doesn’t really matter that much, the Roman Empire was around in some form in the general area until the 15th Century. A…[Read more]

I don’t see how you could prove that the shroud was used on Jesus.
If Jesus was a real person, we don’t what what he looked like, or have his DNA (if he even had DNA, being God).
Even if through carbon dating, or some other method showed that the shround wasn’t 2000 years old, it doesn’t disprove that it was used by Jesus either. As there is no…[Read more]

I don’t find it interesting, or useful to talk about individual people, I prefer discuss ideas and concepts.
I think it was a good thing that Hawkins died, he has said some strange things in the last few years such as that we should shut down all radio broadcasts so that aliens don’t invade, and that AI will kill everyone.
It is best that his…[Read more]

These aren’t actually the 10 commandments, which is another thing Christians seem to get wrong a lot. Moses wrote these commandments on stone tablets, but then immediatedly destroyed them when he discovered that his followers began worshiping a golden calf. He returned up the mountain where God gave him new commandments, which were the ones…[Read more]

The bible never actually describes heaven this way, the literal interpretation of Heaven is a multi-coloured lightning storm filled with 100 eyed lions and 4 headed angels. It’s pretty weird.
Historical images of heaven are more similar to what is described :

Then they aren’t Christian.
If heaven doesn’t exist, then none of Christianity makes any sense.

Pascal’s Wager falls apart when you consider there is more than one possible god to worship, and many possible religions in which to worship them through.
Which transforms this:

UBI is not economically viable as I have explored above. So far I haved ignored the societal consequences of a guarenteed income, which I believe would be disasterous.
There is no evidence to support this. If such a ‘revolution’ does happen then it is a possibiltiy, but the same claims were also made about the car, and the personal computer.…[Read more]
