first question
I'm going to take a stab at BEGINNING to answer the first question Dan asked. Here goes...
Is Christianity a theory?
A theory as I understand it is something that we can test to see what happens or what might have happened. In this case, I suppose that proving a theory is something that can be limited only to what we can empirically observe.
Will continue...I just got really busy at work...but think about how do we know that the "Founding Fathers" actually existed? How do we know that the founding of the US happened as has been described in our history books...the Revolutionary War...signing of the Declaration of Independence...all of that. We were not there. We don't even know anyone who was. Can you actually prove to me they were there? I guess you can exhume some archaeological evidence. You can go see the declaration itself in a museum. You can look at the DNA of the bones (those that you can find0. You can look at the nose of my former coworker Priscilla Lanier which is the same as her predecessor (and father of more of the country than many others) Thomas Jefferson. The sequence of these events was documentned with a pretty good degree of accuracy.
What we call "Christianity" can also be supported with quite a bit of like evidence. I can go about and quote a lot of archaeological evidence, and I will try to find it for you. As to the supernatural quality of the biblical events, events recorded that were miraculous, shortly I am going to post a list of predictions. The c-dating, etc. of the texts show that these events did actually postdate their predictions. You will find the accuracy of these predictions to be precise to a point that NOT to believe in at least some intelligent being at work would be a bigger leap of faith at least from my point of view.
I will be posting it shortly- posting it directly loses its formatting so bear with me-

Predictions, pfffft! What a joke. Anybody can predict a bunch of general crap and a handful of it will come true. What about the counterevidence? What about the scores of predictions that were wrong? You don't hear anything about them do you? Of course not, Christians steer clear from it like the plague because it might disrupt their narrow minded system of only believing what the people with the collection plate tell them. This is a classic example that likens palm reading and psychic fortune telling. Cold reading and cold predictions are such a joke. If you want to be true to your religion, you should heavily investigate the evidence that contradicts your beliefs, not just simply accept the supporting evidence.
