Why would I not believe if 60,000 arches appeared? Why?

I am here to tell you, that is one of one hundred, ..one of a thousand plausible scenarios, that if they did occur, I would certainly pay homage to God, and become a true believer, =no questions asked=.

I am ALWAYS willing to acquire knowledge I did not possess yesterday. ALWAYS. You, instead, are consistently searching for someone to prove you were not wrong all these years. Even the Bible no longer says the Earth is Flat.. it has changed. It also no longer says each star is surrounded by a "perfect crystal sphere". When Galileo saw moons orbiting Jupiter, =that= ruined the crystal sphere pronouncement, which was what got Galileo in his troubles with the Vatican.

I will NOT trust hearsay and the opinions you regard as "facts" for any basis of "truth". Why? Because if God exists, He would KNOW better than to trust the foilible, power-hungry, duplicitous, untrustworthy, lying, injurious, greedy creature that is Man on Earth, to entrust him with ANY message from a Deity. Look at all these prominent evangelists who are found to be greedy thieves, or visiting prostitutes. Yet God is entrusting them?? Look at the Popes who used to perform marriages, but only if they could screw the brides first. Yet Christendom went on with no intervention? Why? Because there is no Deity upstairs, watching and judging. No "super Dad" with a "son".

"...primary source documents"

And HOW do you know I have not seen a "primary source document?" HOW? You've watched me for ... forty years???!! You lie... or as it is written..."bear false witness"

You don't need "credentials" to know FACTS...it is not "your opinion" as you put it. How is the "acceleration of gravity" on Earth "an opinion"? The speed of light? Is there no agreed-upon number? Tested repeatedly? Autonomous from other tests, with the same answer? What time that an aircraft lands? An "opinion"? Original "source document" required to "know" the "fact"??

The "actual evidence" you cite is =strictly= an opinion, or worse, 100% fabrication. Even today, "hearsay" is NOT "evidence".

How is it you "twist" everything everyone writes here? Persistently, and consistently! Why, because there are no FACTS available to counter what is presented to you???

To just say something is "irrelevant" because you have no answer, is not sufficient. Why don't EXPLAIN why it is "irrelevant"? You cannot.
