        Oddly enough, they have found the body of pharaoh and the bodies of other important people of past. But they have yet to uncover the body of Christ.

          Oddly enough, some say they can not have faith to believe in Christ and what the Bible says about him, but they can have faith in carbon 14 dating. With carbon 14 dating if all holds true*, it has a half-life of 5730 years. So its accuracy is limited and can only be used on materials less than 70,000 years old. *This is the part that has to be taken on faith. Assumes that the rate of carbon 14 production has been constant through the past 70,000 years.

                    Because I have seen several of them, and they all have scientific "theories" on there that have been completely proven wrong. For instance the one about the magnetic field, or about the sun's size. I think that any supposively scientific information that came from religious websites would be highly suspect at best.

                      How does Carbon-14 dating work?[^] Found by this: Google[^] It sometimes seem that it takes more faith to not have faith in the Bible.

                                I think it is the same as Genesis. But there is also the QU'RET AL-YEZID that says Satan is the creator of humanity. I think the bottom line is that simple minds look for simple explanations. Believing in God makes eveything easy to understand, and provides a way of coping with death.

                                  I always thought materialism was much easier to understand since it removes metaphysical consideration altogether. Maybe that's what's wrong with atheists. They're just not smart enough.

                                      You wish... Atheism is a self-defining word: Without God. Materialism is the extent of the modern atheist's metaphysical beliefs. That is to say...They believe in a lack of metaphysics. So theists deal both in the physical world (i.e. its material attributes) and the metaphysical world (i.e. its unseen spiritual attributes), whereas atheists deal only in the former. The fact that you believe theism creates a more simplified worldview (when it actually adds a very significant layer of complexity) tells me you have a poor understanding of both atheism and theism.

                                        Voters chose the Great Wall of China; India's Taj Mahal; the centuries-old pink
                                        ruins of Petra in Jordan; the Colosseum in Rome; the statue of Christ overlooking Rio
                                        de Janeiro; the Incan ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru; and the ancient Mayan city of
                                        Chichen Itza in Mexico.

                                        Apparently a 105-foot, 100-year-old concrete statue is a greater wonder than the 455-foot, 4,500-year-old Great Pyramid of Giza. How absolutely absurd.

                                          No? How do you figure. Christ the Redeemer is a wonder. The Great Pyramid of Giza is not. Who cares about their methodology? And why would a poured concrete statue or be a greater wonder than something like the Eiffel Tower. It's just plain old stupid. Even that orange peel doohicky you have in Australia is more impressive.
