sorry but it did an i hope you dont wanna be heraclitus about it, and i think you meant to say philosophy instead of culture because you can have culture in a society without having philo but not the other way around.

[/ QUOTE ]

I could be wrong about it, give me some dates for early hebrew culture and early greek culture.

US law system comes from bible

[/ QUOTE ]no sir, us law including 1st amendment is totally against gods law which strictly regulates human speech

THOU SHALL NOT BLASPHEME
THOU SHALL NOT TAKE THY LORD'S NAME IN VAIN
THOU SHALL NOT INVOKE THE NAME OF THE SON OF OUR LORD DURING ORGASM
etc

[ QUOTE ]
private property comes from commandment against stealing.

[/ QUOTE ] THOU SHALL NOT STEAL is not the same thing as putting private property on the pedestal which capitalism has it!!

if it were so our LORd would not command us to give one cloth from our private closet proeprty to the poor. and greed according to our lord is a very bad thing that can take you to hell while capitalism says GO FOR IT!! same goes for flaunting wealth stead of being humble etc etc etc.

Function

The coccyx provides an attachment for nine muscles, such as the gluteus maximus,and as something of a shock absorber when the person sits down, although forceful impact can cause damage and subsequent bodily pains. The muscle that is necessary for defecation attaches to the coccyx.

Human males have nipples.

[/ QUOTE ]
All of these have a function.

[/ QUOTE ] what function are my nipples serving?? i only realize theyre there when a girl licks them. if thats why GOD put em there i thank HIM very much. altho OK the sex act is not improved THAT much through my nipples getting tongued.



[/ QUOTE ]

I believe that's part of it. I've also seen that the skin needs seams and they serve that purpose, not sure. And it's possible it's just esthetics - symmetry.

[/ QUOTE ]you cant be serious.

elementary medicine along with biology and the fossil record show that theres never been anything uselss or just for ''symmetry'' on the bodies of animals. for example our spine once ended in a tail which is why we come with a mere module of a bone in the coccyx seemingly serving no purpose (all the muscles are already attached to the other 4-5 vertebrae) so theres a perfectly proper nontheological explanation why its there.

please note that the human body is NOT symmetrical

it actually ASYMMETRICAL

but dont tell homeland security...

ok theres always the case for sexual attraction ofcourse which accounts for many ''useless'' decoration but thats NOT why god has nipples on males what are you the GLAAD spokesman.....

We only know of men like Socrates and Parmenides through second hand dramatic accounts, which are not even in the form of biography but other genres of literature. We believe Alexemenes of Teos existed because Aristotle said he did. There is no other source.

[/ QUOTE ] you mean ALEXAMENOS

aristotle did not assert that alexamenos was the son of god.

[ QUOTE ]
there is nothing impossible about a mass exodus. It has occured numerous times throughout history.

[/ QUOTE ]correct

[ QUOTE ]
you want to make history into a science instead of admitting that it is an art.

[/ QUOTE ]its not an art either COME ON! art is something completely different

we throw words like science and art around like were sportcasters.....eg psychoanalysis were not sure its a science;cooking is not an art and neither is what phil hellmuth does

Googling the phrase "truth of Exodus"...
Results is an ** extremely biased sample ** of anti-Judeo-Christian critics...
Which also just happens to support your views.

Googling "Israelites in Eqypt" will produce a more balanced result...
And the first link:

http://www.christiananswers.net/q-abr/abr-a027.html


[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, David, why did you point us towards all that biased garbage rather than christiananswers.net?

that is true, god created adam first, and eve later from adam.
obviously since man is created in gods image, and man has nipples, god must have nipples.

Most scholars don't think that there were Jewish slaves in Ancient Egypt. Let alone that they were freed by Moses. Or that he used ten plagues. I'm talking historians, archaeologists, anthropologists, whatever.

[/ QUOTE ]

After 26 pages, I thought it's time to clear up this part of the assumption. Basically all and if not all then a huge percentage of historians, archeologists, anthropologists, whatever don't know more about the Exodus than the average farmer in Oklahoma.

All the so called experts know is stuff from books written by guys who knew nothing, but found it to be a good income to tell stories about the past that cannot be verified.

The same goes for archeologists. They dig out some old trash and make up some gigantic hype about it to get invited to meetings and write books about it. Those guys are the worst of them all, because they turn ancient egyptian toilet paper into important papyrus letters in hyroglyphs about Ramses II planning his next pyramid in Luxor....

If you don't know anything about ancient history, you are not worse off than those "experts" whos knowledge is based on 50% lies, 30% misinterpretation and 19% pure nonsense.

P.S.: Amongst other things I studied 8 semesters of history and I my own experience was, that some of the professors didn't even know details about World War 2 (and some of them were physically present at the time). If they can't get their facts right on stuff that happend 60 years ago with countless witnesses, how much credit do you give them for stuff 3000 years ago? One could claim that I simply didn't meet enough good professors, but that's not the point. Just look at the literature where all those brilliant minds come together. It's mostly nothing but an "educated" guess. They don't have any clue what they are talking about and they are just profiting from the lack of people willing to argue with them.
