I've decided to donate the material at the site to Sam Harris' Reason Project. The SAB will still be around, of course, but there will also be a new site, called "The Scripture Project", that will be a collaborative, wiki-style website that will start with the material from the SAB and go from there.

James Ussher was the person who came up with the 4004BC date. In the book they explain that James had to use the chronology of the Greek gods to "lock in" his floating chronology. Sir Issac Newton, did not like this because it resulted in Troy being founded before Jerusalem. Therefore Sir Issac Newton used the chronology from "Jason and the Argonauts" to move Troy back 200 years.

The problem with the skeptic is that they are emotionally fixed without a solution.

If the skeptic is wrong in his / her evaluation or what we are going to call, for practical purposes, truth, then that would mean that everyone influenced by the skeptic is void of anything beyond the limited realm of the speculation of the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (GreasusChrysler) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/3804 Sat, 21 Jun 2008 19:35:52 GMT http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/3802/t/Skeptics-Annotated-Vulgate-.html The Roman Catholic Church recognizes the following books:

An argument I've heard a lot lately (on the Christian side) is that there can be no such thing as an atheist because atheism is a positive belief in the nonexistence of God. It is contended that the (purported) atheist claim "God doesn't exist" must be supported by knowledge or is invalid. Since one cannot know the nonexistence of God... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (9comet) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/3768 Tue, 06 May 2008 21:54:44 GMT http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/topic/3765/t/Preacher-in-game.html I don't know why I do this kind of thing.
