Are you John Philip Jaeger or just stealing his crap?
You both get Haughton's name wrong and the name of the school wrong
Science of the Bible - John Phillip Jaeger - Google Books

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up, why would you have to lie?

Seems like this copypasta is all over the place and Mr. Jaeger used it in his book. What a putz.

Information publicly available in his profile indicates that he is indeed a "John Jaeger", and quite possibly that "John Philip Jaeger".

"Mock them! Ridicule them (Christians)! With contempt!" - Richard Dawkins
There is NOTHING that atheists do more often than mock, ridicule, and speak in the most hateful, condescending terms possible. Nothing.
This is your brand of "rationality" and "intellectualism."
You should be ashamed of your contemptible actions, but you never are and never will be.
Quotations by famous people are frequently cited everywhere, without noting the source. If you are so interested in the source, look it up yourself. Don't be so lazy and demanding.
I took nothing from any Ravi Zacharias book. You make foolish assumptions and then attribute your nonsense to me - a common practice of atheists and Leftists.

You do realize that I have a complete record of your original post before you completely rewrote it? As Admin is going to close this thread I will not bother responding to either one.
Your original post
BTW, learn what signatures are.

I did not say that all of them were lawyers. Why do leftists and atheists put words into the mouths of people they despise and then condemn their own misplaced words?
​
Some of the citations are from books I have read and taken notes on. I read many of Richard Dawkins' books and seen his hatefulness on videos. What a miserable person, married three times.

Wow, deep. Your intellectualism and sophistication are on full display.
There is profound evidence which has repeatedly been presented to haughty atheists. They ALWAYS deny any and all evidence, from any source.
Eighty-five percent of Nobel Laureates are Christians and Jews. They know science. They know evidence. They don't lie. Deal with that and spin it until you get dizzy.

Again you put your words into others' mouths and then condemn them for your misprepresentations. That's lying. It's shameful but you have no shame

Re: Proposal to Close Thread
Nah go ahead. The spammer/scammer settled the mood.
It appears to me that there is no objective evidence, but we who believe do not care nor feel threatened by such evidence. (of absence) We are merely waiting for the rest of you to see the light.
Let's talk about Jeffrey Sachs and his views on the war in Ukraine. I will start with a new topic.

Agreed.
The entire topic was started under false pretenses, a classic apologist bait-and- switch making promises he never intended to honor.
Now it's attracting flies.

Re: Proposal to Close Thread
Too bad. I happen to know where this jesus-energy came from. But, even if he were here I'm thinking the thread would have devolved into "It's majik!', "No, it's science!", "No , it's majik!"
Though, consider, as topic-lost as this thread may be it does seem to act as fly paper drawing in a few interesting characters. Adds some additional insane fantasy color to the place.

The Historical Jesus: Did He Create the Universe?
The Historical Jesus - Per the Bible(?), born some 2000+ years ago.
Per the same Bible, the universe came to be a fair amount of time before that.
Answer to the topic title question is NO.

The Gospel According To AZPaul3:
13When in the forum where The Mooseus appears know ye that the Mooseus wise beyond his peers and wise beyond the depths of the Universal Well of knowledge so states from the high place "This is so", pay heed all peoples and rejoice in the knowledge for the Mooseus surely knows His Stuff. 14I checked and he's right.

Re: The Historical Jesus: Did He Create the Universe?
We should have just stuck to the Title: Did Jesus Create The Universe? Thats a YES in my mind. This whole "Historical" mumbo jumbo is simply an attempt by satan and his minions to discredit the Bible.
I think ICANT wanted to rope the skeptics in, but he then abandoned his efforts when the heat was turned up.
