because, you know, god is more credible than, say, an alien.
Really? Biology leading to intelligence on other worlds is less credible than a bodyless mind floating somewhere in space? Or did you mean "a god" and not the Abrahamic sort of one?

"Prayer is subjective evidence for Zeus no matter if it's answered or not."
- fixed it for you, Chuck. If you disagree that I did, explain to me why you think not.

These icey comets full of water do not display the same molecular structure of earths water.
Really! That is fascinating, Mazzy! I've been a professional chemist and an amateur astronomer for a good long while now, and I didn't know that!
Got a reference? Oh, I didn't figure you did.

Re: Subjective Evidence of Gods
Now that I have destroyed your credibility you may apologise to me for your ignorance.
You've destroyed my credibility by telling us that water with a little extra deuterium does "not display the same molecular structure" as water with a little less? (your message 77.) Oh heavenly days! With my credibility destroyed, how will I ever get some babies to eat at the next Atheist Chemist Evilutionist meeting!??
You have no idea what you are C&Ping about, Mazzy.

Over 500 people claimed they saw Jesus alive again for a period of 40 days after the crucifixion.
I think if you dig into that a bit, you will find that one (unknown) writer claimed that there were 500 such people. And do you have any source(s) for your claim that "they were exposed to the most extreme form of interrogation possible?" I would be interested to see some reliable documentation on that, too.

JBR, unless I am badly mistaken, there is only one verse, presumably by the author of Corinthians, that mentions 500 witnesses:
" 5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles."
I made no claim at all that the Bible was written at one place or in one time - it is far too inconsistent for that to even be a possibility.
You made the claim that these unnamed 500 and the disciples were tortured and killed. Where is that claim documented? Certainly not by Paul - yes, he claims he persecuted some, or perhaps made a few "fall asleep." Do you really accept all that dodgy hagiography of the early Catholic Church?
Then I would ask if you use the same scrutiny on all ancient pieces of literature?
I do. I'm almost certain that Poseidon never did doo-squat to interfere with Trojans vs. Athenians.

why on earth would they endure such suffering to the point of death?
Indeed. That's up there with nineteen men hijacking four airplanes and flying them into buildings (and the ground) and their own firey deaths. There is no way they would have done that if Mohammed had made up any of the Quran.
