Where is the evidence?

Jimmy Swaggart was on this morning and he made a couple claims that didn't sit too well with me.

1. There is "evidence" that snakes walked upright and could speak before the Fall of Man.

2. All living creatures were vegetarian before the Fall of Man and will revert back at the Rapture.

Evidence in the dictionary is "that which tends to prove or disprove something; ground for belief; proof.". This usually comes from some sort of basic scientific study. We notice someone with a flush face and we know that this evident that the body temperature has risen. We know this because it was studied at some point in history. So shouldn't he state "we beleive" as opposed to "there is evidence" since he is using biblical quotes??

Update:

bongernet - I cannot be mind controlled because I don't give anyone the power to make up my mind for me. I watched out of curiosity, not because I wanted to be told what to beleive in.

mindwords - yes, I know that snakes once walked like lizards. He however is claiming speech "better than a parrot" and upright walk like humans.

    Hilarious!

    I'd love to see that evidence...

    Of course the bible isn't evidence any more than Aesop's fables are (all the animals talk in them)

    Its true! I saw a snake stand upright and talk to Harry Potter in the Hogwarts dining hall.

    Also, not only will the animals become vegetarians after the rapture, but they'll stop wearing fur, too.

    there is archaeological info that some places contained in the Bible existed, genuine. This, besides the incontrovertible fact that, is comparable to asserting that Harry Potter and Sherlock Holmes existed by using fact there is archaeological info of London. there is somewhat little info of any specific activities contained in the Bible, and a lot against (e.g., cities meant to have been conquered by Joshua did no longer exist on the time, etc.). Bible prophecies are obscure sufficient that they may well be fulfilled quite a few circumstances, and nevertheless be claimed as "info" of different issues. there is not any longer something specific. and an excellent style of non-medical info besides. There are no solid non-Biblical account of Jesus. human beings will die for issues they suspect are genuine, whether they do no longer look to be. human beings have been keen to die for Jim Jones, David Koresh, and a goodly style of different lunatics. Koresh, in specific, claimed he became into the return of Christ. If human beings have been keen to die for him, does that mean he became into good? The few places the place the hot testomony must be matched to historic activities, it has failed miserably (e.g., delivery dates for Jesus ten years aside, Nazareth did no longer even exist on the time, no checklist of a bloodbath or the launch of prisoners on the Passover, etc. etc. etc.) Given an no longer likely experience such by using fact the spontaneous resurrection and assumption into heaven of a guy or woman, the least complicated assumption isn't that the resurrection and assumption surpassed off, yet that somebody made up a narrative, stole a physique, etc. Occamk's razor says the main in all danger tale is genuine, no longer the least in all danger. If this assumption have been to be maximum appropriate, then each lacking guy or woman must be suggested to have died, resurrected, and been assumed actual into heaven. good day, there is not any info it did no longer take place, so it would be genuine, good? Your very final assertion is in keeping with special "if", and around good judgment. extra in all danger he in simple terms believed he became into the Son of God. there are a lot of human beings on the streets of long island as we communicate who have self assurance that - in case you do not have self assurance them, why have self assurance in a Judean anarcho-communist hippie?

    Well, my wife, before she met me, knew some boyfriends who walked upright and talked - she called them snakes. They still populate the earth.

    there's evidence for snakes walking in the past. not upright like humans, but the way lizzards walk.

    it's no evidence of bible story being true.

    The problem is that some people take biblical passages as a type of evidence.

    Firstly, stop watching that nonsense. It will warp your mind. Distance yourself from these mind control cults.

    The christian cult guide book is nothing more than fairy tales and boogeyman stories written by men in order to keep the uneducated masses amused, in line, and obeying commands to further the authors’ own socio-economic agenda.

    Source(s): Remember, "god" is nothing more than a nonsense word created by man to explain away all of the things we can't yet understand. Religion is a disease of the mind, born of fear, which has done nothing but bring untold misery down upon the human race.

    Their "evidence" is the bible. People with functional braincells tend to like more for proof.

    The only "evidence" religious nuts need is that some other idiotic nutcase said so.
