  • Among Scholars, there is no Historical Evidence of a Jesus. period.

  • no Mention of The Sumerians, the oldest known culture that Acually has Evidence!!!!! Tens of thousands of clay tablets. Cannot say that about christianity>>>

  • @OL8Twho I do not suggest the earth just "sat" there not spinning. It is the bible that states it. Anyways if he took six days (7th rested) it means that the earth was turning while he was making it, he must have had a rough time while he was making it. Which is probably why he created plants before he created the sun. Yet he never mentions that the sun should help with the growth of plants. But he does say that the sun should help separate light from dark. Wait he did that the first day. DOH

  • @OL8Twho you do realize the seven day cycle comes from the Norse gods right?

  • @fcdog555 Not

  • @EvilGniusStudios ?? Why wouldn't it? And the morning and evening were the 1st day and all the rest. Are you suggesting that the earth just sat there not spinning? Oh, and I suppose it was flat too.

  • @OL8Twho You fool. If god made the earth in seven days, it means the the earth was turning. Guess it's not right after all.

  • @OL8Twho you fail

  • @whoopiman The seven day cycle was made by your creator, not invented by people. The sabbath has always been the 7th day ever since the first one. They can change the names of the days of the week all they want but why is the seventh day always called 'shabbot' or 'sabbath'? Just sayin'. The weekly cycle has always been seven days and always will be, so Genesis was right after all.

  • First: what an annoying cut-paste video (sorry), not even explaining the real source of daynaming. Different languages use different names, either scandinavian gods or planets.

    Second: Many (ancient) cultures used different amounts for a 'week', the Jewish and Babylonian cultures used 7 days.

    A simple Wiki-visit explains more and clearer.
