My absolute favorites are not the intransigents that just keep going and going and going (and apparenly keeping a lot of bored board members entertained) but the firebrand meteors who have just watched some video or read a book and all of a sudden, armed with a few PRATTs and overblown rhetoric proceed to bring a pen knife to an artillery duel.
The usually don't stick around long or learn much, but it's interesting watching confusion set in as they're overwhelmed by the information and discovering TEs for the first time.

I hear there is only one other place to go, if you do not go to heaven
For me, I think the deal God offers us is a good one. I do not see any reason to turn it down. Although if the alternative is "nothing", to return to a state as if we had never been born and never lived. In some ways that does not sound so bad. I do not think I would be interested in any sort of eternal torment. That does not seem like a very good option to me. But I believe that God is just and no one is going to get any more or less than what they deserve. His scales of justice are exact and precise.

That is because sport is trying to use his used car salesman schtick on everyone, which goes;
Pretend you are right,
Never admit you are wrong,
Keep hammering and do anything you can to get the other person to say yes even if it is about something that is not true.
To do this, he keeps posting out of context quotes on the theory that you can't disagree with them since an "eviloutonist" said it but unfortunately for sport, no-one is buying his previously owned junk.
I guess I don't find him frightning, just annoying as one would generally expect of one who wears polyester plaids.

It isn't. But Jesus did refer to the flood, and the days of Adam. They were real, precisely.
As I have often said, the present state consists of from 4400 years ago, till over a thousand years in our future. The comet has nothing to do with anything but the present.

True, but a little doctrinal difference is fine. Not all things have to be believed, just the basics. Like any men, bible believers have some room for opinion on a great many things in the bible! That's OK.
We aren't a bunch of robots, that march in lockstep to all things.

No, I don't think it is debateable, I guess you can disbelieve early Christian records and testimonies if you like. But I know that He exists now, so why would I doubt He existed then???

Josephus
Josephus was a Jewish historian who was born in either 37 or 38 AD and died some time after 100 AD. He wrote the Jewish Antiquites and in one famous passage described Jesus as a wise man, a doer of wonderful works and calls him the Christ. He also affirmed that Jesus was executed by Pilate and actually rose from the dead!"

An example of the early records.

"Our initial witness makes a contribution of a unique sort inasmuch as he had no intention of making Christianity to appear genuine. To the contrary, Thallus, a Samaritan-born historian who lived and worked in Rome about A.D. 52, wrote to offset the supernatural element which accompanied the crucifixion. Though the writings of Thallus are lost to us, Julius Africanus, a Christian chronographer of the late second century, was familiar with them and quotes from them. In a comment on the darkness that fell upon the land during the crucifixion (Mark 15:33), Africanus says that "Thallus, in the third book of his histories, explains away this darkness as an eclipse of the sun."(3) Africanus stated his objection to the report arguing that an eclipse of the sun cannot occur during the full moon, as was the case when Jesus died at Passover time. The force of the reference to Thallus is that the circumstances of Jesus' death were known and discussed in the Imperial City as early as the middle of the first century. The fact of Jesus' crucifixion must have been fairly well known by that time, to the extent that unbelievers like Thallus thought it necessary to explain the matter of the darkness as a natural phenomenon.

I claim to be an historian. My approach to Classics is historical. And I tell you that the evidence for the life, the death, and the resurrection of Christ is better authenticated than most of the facts of ancient history . . .

And on it goes. It isn't debatable.
In fact Jesus is my favorite anti evolutionist!

Hey you brought it up. After all, no real topic here anyhow, except who is my favorite anti evo. I answered that in the post above. Jesus.

Well, you and I disagree in some areas --- but you're right --- we agree on the main point, and that's Jesus.
I thought your "too-bad-they-are-saved-anyhow" defense of Eternal Security was pretty good, but you could have at least given a Scripture reference with it:
[bible]John 5:24[/bible]
