My point is that some stories are rooted so far outside of the realm of rational thought, that until there is a time when that realm and the realm of the rational come within closer proximity, we cannot take them seriously or even test their validity.

In my opinion, it is better to search for the truth, with our logical means, then to accept a story, which is no longer rationally tangible.

Your logic is horrible...

You postulate that the validity of a religion is based upon the ability to 'dig up,' said Messiahs.

Did YOU SEE Jesus rise from his tomb and the scars he possessed? I doubt it.

Is the tomb of Jesus Christ even a historically factual place?

If there was no way that he or anyone could get him out of his tomb, then... how did he do it? If you say Godly powers, then you are assuming for too much and thus you are denying far too much. You are not coming to any sound conc

In fact I'm fairly certain that there must be water there for mountains to form... or winds. Some eroding force.

I could be wrong...

What about Plato? All of Plato's writings are taken seriously except for his writings on Atlantis. Atlantis was also, 'flooded,' or it had succumb to the water and sunk.

Multiple accounts in the Old Testament of the ark of the covenant of God possessing highly technological capabilities.

It's difficult to take any literal meaning from a story without knowing the author's intent, or point of observation, or internal creativity.

Science, however, is based upon observation and peer review.

To cccfish: Evolution is "speculation" and just a theory??? You can NOT be serious. As for the origin of organisms, look into abiogenesis. The universe? Big bang.

Ok, so you say the universe MUST have a cause, it had to start..so you throw a God into that gap. But by that same reasoning, God must have a cause..God must have been created. It's an infinite regress..

Do you know how many animals would have had to be on that boat to see the numbers and varieties of organisms we see today?

what about the arc thats talked about in the bible. the bible gives a description of how big it was. and guess what, they found a arc on the SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN not too many years ago. it had the same demensions as mentioned in the bible. how did a arc get on the side of a mountain?? must have been a huge flood, which was also mentioned in the bible. they still find clams and stuff on top of mountains....read your bible i promise its the right thing.

cccfish I hope you realize that mountains were formed over time, that way there could have been water there, but before the mountains were formed.

Lol theres been so many claims of people finding the arc on mountains but none of its real. If they really found a gigantic boat on the side of a mountain dont you think it would have been all over world news?
