Compare the vast number of religions out there now. Do Hindus believe in Jesus' resurrection? Do Buddhists? What about Jews? They generally reject the New Testament. What about Mormons? Do you accept the Book of Mormon in the whole, as you would the Bible? What about the Quran? Are all the truths there the same as in the New Testament? oh, if that's your idea of scientific proof, I could porve the flying spaghetti monster. A complete travesty of proof - you haven't proved it, just asserted that as people believe different things, whichever one you choose is true. You haven't proved, you've asserted, and you haven't used science at all. The simple fact is that, scientifically and logically, x doesn't equal not x. So the Hindu's many gods cannot be true if atheism's no god is true, or monotheism's one god. likewise Islam's Mohammed is a prophet contends with Judaism's view that he isn't. The list of conflicting differences go on and on. As there are some many incompatibilities between the different worldviews, it cannot be that all are true - either one is true, or we are all wrong, and no worldview held by anyone is right. Some might have some things right, but not everything, but only one can be true. The truth of the Qu'ran and the Book of Mormon fall flat on their faces, when compared with history, especially the BoM. The Quran is harder to show (not least because of it's deliberate lack of historic context, though the traditions and so on that help interpret the Quran, putting in the context, have Mohammed living in a 9th century, not a 7th century context), as most of the people who've debunked the historicity of it, and found that it's just bits taken from other holy books of the area, mixed in with a bit of 9th century propaganda against Christianity and Judaism, haven't published their work, or have gone into hiding to avoid being killed by Muslim extremists. Hindus and Buddhists would believe in Jesus' resurrection - Hindu's just assimilated him into their religion and treat him as another one of their gods, and Buddists deny some of the facts and change it so that Jesus fits their view that he just reached enlightment. |
