Wouldn't you agree that all have a right to their beliefs? To not be "intimidated" then all you have to do is look for a different subject to post on. Aren't you doing the same thing you are accusing others of?

Um, I said the Bible Code predicts it, silly.

Oh and another problem with the article.. the light generating these images happened perhaps millions of years ago because they are light years away. Ever think of that one, Mr Nice Guy? They probably don't exist as we see them anymore and have changed since light from those regions of space have a lot of space to travel.

I am confused? Where does the Bible say the world is flat? I've read it through and don't remember that part.

Okay Giancarlo, I'm just as non-religious as you are, but this is easy to refute. God did it. It doesn't matter how it was done. God did it. He wanted it to look like that so that it would be seen now, and so it was. Omnipotence doesn't require an explanation.

On the other hand, there are probably a good many other "signs" in the heavens that have to do with non-Christian symbols, so there's really no reason to believe that any of them are true.

Oh wait, probably? What about, say, all the constellations ever seen?

Don't try and twist things around, Fez. You're just trolling you know.

It's the fact that we can actually see it that matters, not when it occured. Oh, and uh, you think the Almighty cannot circumvent the laws of physics--the One that invented the laws of physics for that matter? Think again. GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!!!

Circular argumentation is not very good. You are wrong about a fact: It takes the light of these nebulas, stars and other thingamajigs in space millions of years to travel (depending on how many light years they are away). So technically I just debunked your argument.

Also prove god.

You're not getting it, Giancarlo. The point is that God could have created these things millions of years ago so that we would see them today.

Tough considering you can't prove god. Don't try these strawman arguments: god is there because he just is. The point is it is all beliefs and that is all it is. There is not one shred of evidence for a christian god, therefore I am not going to be duped into believeing a B.S story such as the one "Mr. Nice Guy" posted.

Matthew 4:8

"Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world,"

There are also numerous uses of the phrase "Four Corners of the Earth" and "Ends of the Earth"

Note also:

Ps. 103:12

"As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."

And the fact that the Sun sets, then "hurries back to its rising point"
