hmm, are we sure about this one?? I thought Homer's ilead (the Trojan war) mentiones the hittites?

[Shazoolo]

@blackoutninja I think you have it the other way round. Some scholars aregue for a Hittite literary evidence for Troy.

[IoEstasCedonta]

@blackoutninja Not by name, and until pretty recently, people weren't sure that Troy existed, either. Or Pompeii, for that matter - that's the problem with all these "Biblical stories found to be true prove the Bible!" arguments.

"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." there was a civilization that used advanced technologies as ion drives, space sails, holograms, guided missiles.

Today we know that those technologies exist so that is the evidence that all StarWars stories are true.

Not to mention that the Hittites were a powerful empire which conversed with Egypt over the land of Canaan. There's no reason why the Bible wouldn't mention these people. This video only debunks the minimallists; most non Xians are willing the accept that the Bible has some truth, covered in myth. Obviously true, since we don't have any evidence for the whimsical events in the bible.

To believe in a walking tree men, I need to see those qualities with my eyes, or atleast hear about it from a source I think is reliable, depending on the overall context of the claim.

Fiction by a fiction writer is only reliable where it has been proven to be reliable, the rest was made up, otherwise he wouldn't have called it fiction.

The context of the 66 books and letters of the Bible is so undeniable, that to deny it is to have not tried hard enough to understand it.

[Shazoolo]

@TheColaGoodfellow So, would you expect (for example) Tolkein's hobbits to be found? What about the walking tree characters?

@abarrathemaster

Fiction is fiction, who cares about any similarities. Lovecraft, the writer, decided that it should be put in the fiction area of shops, end of, none of the writers of the Bible did that.

Fiction contains events and creatures that are not necasserily real.

[abarrathemaster]

@TheColaGoodfellow then how do you explain that corddence away, the fact that pluto have three moons this as Lovecraft portacted. our lord Azathoth is the true crated of the cosmos.

@abarrathemaster

Lovecraft, a fiction writer who lived in one period of time. And we know by his own decision that it is fiction.

The Bible, a collection of 66 books and letters by different people from throughout history all mentioning prophecies and/or miracles about/from the same God who just so happens to have the same attributes as reality itself (all powerful, everywhere, self sustaining).... (This is all true according to scholars)

Do you have any understanding of context?
