    AI gets it wrong!

    Unfortunately the option is human drivers continuing to make mistakes. I prolly wont be alive when our cars talk to each other, know where everyone is going and the fast line is just a car centipede flying bumper to bumper while the slower lanes are used for exiting and moving into the...

    AI gets it wrong!

    It absolutely will...but it will make a lot less mistakes, cause a lot less accident, improve traffic flow, cause less injuries, reduce energy consumption and kill a lot less people than human drivers....by far....once the initial learning curve is over. A

    Ethiopian Christianity

    It appears the books shared by the Ethiopian 81 book and Catholic 73 book Bibles, but not the Protestant 66 book Bible, are Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, and Baruch. The Ethiopian Bible also includes books not found in either the Catholic or Protestant Bibles, such as Enoch...

    Hello.

    Of all the books in the Bible that quote Jesus...The gospel of Thomas, which isn't in the Bible, is a book that is referenced as to having the highest number or highest percentage of quotes that are most likely the Words of Jesus or in the nature of jesus's words. But Alas, I get that...

    "Believing in science" - what does that mean?

    Ok, I'll accept that so what are the excepted explanations of the crazy things you witnessed and millions of people since have relied upon, preached upon, warred about, for the past 30 centuries? So if the exodus wasn't history, what was it?

    Rupert Sheldrake: The Ten Dogmas of Science

    While it is a portion of a sentence. I believe it retains its own context. Other than the topic at hand...religion.... can you give me other examples that fit this criteria? Things that are illogical and unscientific yet not nonsense or wrong?

    What is the actual evidence for the existence of Jesus?

    Again pretty much agree on all that. I believe there was a dude that said enough cool things that he developed followers not unlike any other spiritual guru, motivational speaker over time. Were all the words attributed to him his, or were there a number of other stories that got mixed in, or...

    What is the actual evidence for the existence of Jesus?

    I would say all that is correct, I would also say there are many that believe otherwise. The number of let's say each denomination is basically a documented and litigated variation in belief and there are 45,000 of those and then I believe pretty much every person side by side in every pew will...

    What is the actual evidence for the existence of Jesus?

    From what I understand we have saved info on some sort of document of antiquities which for centuries has been thought of in circles they think of these things as evidence of existence, more recently it appears there exists a faction tilting the scale saying yes but these are copies of copies...

    What is the actual evidence for the existence of Jesus?

    TJs bible is a misnomer, it isn't the bible, no genesis, no revelation...just the gospels with the miracles (virgin birth thru resurrection removed) Josephus, in Antiquities of the Jews, describes Jesus as a wise man who performed "surprising deeds" and was called the "Christ." Most scholars...

    Rupert Sheldrake: The Ten Dogmas of Science

    I agree as well. But... When one.can find no evidence beyond "this is what i believe because the Bible tells me so" I have issues...it is written falls apart when ya read what others deem gospel. I believe there is more power more the power of belief itself, than the power of whatever...

    What is the actual evidence for the existence of Jesus?

    There is not enough evidence to prove or disprove his existence, to me, this much is clear. I feel it is highly probable the man referred to in the Bible existed...but highly unlikely all the words, actions and miracles credited to him dont contain some hyperbole and aren't referencing someone...
