I did not type that in. It's some sort of cyber shadow. ~jwf~ Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: I'm gonna raise a mass theological debate here: God; fact, or fiction Posted Nov 20, 2011 by TRiG (Ireland) "Any sufficiently analysed magic is indistinguishable from science!" This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27184 I vaguely recall that quote tags exist but are turned off. Or something like that. I've never seen them working on h2g2, but I have seen them on some of the BBC messageboards which use the same software. TRiG. Subject: I'm gonna raise a mass theological debate here: God; fact, or fiction Posted Nov 20, 2011 by Josteyn Ward This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27185 It is always quite difficult to show how to quote without actually quoting LOL Here's a nice quote Quoted from this message was done by putting in [quote] Here's a nice quote [/quote] but with < and > where the [ and ] are in the explanation. Does that make sense? Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: I'm gonna raise a mass theological debate here: God; fact, or fiction Posted Nov 26, 2011 by Josteyn Ward This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27186 On a message board, 'the atheists' have been accused of resorting to 'wild stuff' to show that there are valid alternatives to believing in the biblical version of the resurrection. I have answered that "Even if an atheist postulated that Jesus was rescued from the cross by aliens in invisibility cloaks, who then used hologram technology to achieve the other effects, it STILL wouldn't be as wild as the idea that a god sent his son in human form to be born of a virgin and then get killed, resurrected and then go to heaven!" Anyone here got any better comebacks? I am open to ideas Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: I'm gonna raise a mass theological debate here: God; fact, or fiction Posted Nov 26, 2011 by Fathom This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27187 Which Biblical version of the resurrection? The simplest explanation is that Jesus wasn't dead when he was put in the cave. F.

This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27188 There was a whole conversation somewhere here about the resurrection. The simplest explanation, of course, is that the entire story is made up, including the execution. T4293251 TRiG.

Noggin Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: I'm gonna raise a mass theological debate here: God; fact, or fiction Posted Jan 6, 2013 by Chris Morris This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27193 Perhaps Nighthoover dreamt that this thread was a butterfly on Ask but the thread is now dreaming of electric sheep on a forum that, it seems, no longer exists. Perhaps this thread has been around for so long that it has become fiction with its beginnings lost in myth and legend.

This thread developed a weird mutant tendency to appear twice in recent conversations lists around the time the site was moving. The latest postings were from Nov 2011 and this duplicating phenomenon was a problem with a couple of threads. Perhaps in deleting one they deleted the Forum it was attached to. I would have said it was an old ASK thread but I'd be wrong wooden eye. ~jwf~ Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: I'm gonna raise a mass theological debate here: God; fact, or fiction Posted Jan 7, 2013 by Chris Morris This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27196 Interesting - it appears twice in your conversation list but only once in mine. Those who would see this as a sign seem to have deserted this debate... Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: I'm gonna raise a mass theological debate here: God; fact, or fiction Posted Jan 7, 2013 by Nick This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 27197 Ya know, I am thinking that this thread does belong in the "Talking about the Guide". Over many years, there have been a zillion threads that seem to begin with the assumption that, since DNA was an avid anti-theist, the site should be as well. And happily the throngs have gone about, beating on anyone who has the gall to consider a "God" a real possibility. And so this thread does define a very definite aspect of the Guide as a whole.

Yes it did start in 'ask'.

I wonder if we'll ever get the back-story about the duplicated listing and why this thread disappeared during the move away from the old Beeb servers. The Forum to which it is attached A451522 also appears to be there now but there has been no other activity since Nov 2011. It would be interesting to see how many are still subscribed to that Forum. ~jwf~ Read the First Reply to this Posting << < Conversation list << < Conversation list
