		<description>I&#039;m not at all excited about your &quot;impossible to deny&quot; facts. In fact ... The words &quot;nonplussed&quot; and &quot;derisive&quot; come immediately to mind.</description>

		<description>Ritualistic cannibalism predates Christianity by thousands of years.  It is weird that modern day Catholics still use this symbolism in their rituals.  But I wouldn&#039;t have found it strange that they may have engaged in it 2000 years ago, when the world was still full of pagan influence.  What does occur to me as strange is that you seem stuck on it and denounce all Christians based on something that doesn&#039;t ritualistically exist anymore other than in its symbolic form.  Their are plenty of things to criticize religion about - I find this one to be distasteful (no pun intended.)  

Dutton - you are correct.  There are contradictions all throughout the Bible.  And there is no Roman record of Jesus&#039; execution.  They (Christians - among others)  build their faith on a house of cards that fell long ago.  You would think that they would notice.</description>

		<description>And ... Christians have the audacity to argue there are no contradictions in the Bible and then wonder why there are so many Atheist declaring themselves as such.  The Romans kept impeccable records ... why isn&#039;t there evidence of Jesus and his execution there?  Perhaps it is because he nor magical sky fairies existed to begin with</description>

		<description>Better question: Why are the only historical accounts of Jesus&#039; life obvious interpolations (or forgeries, if you&#039;re feeling less academically charitable)?</description>

		<description>For the whole body of christ/blood thing who is to say they all didn&#039;t visit his tomb and dined on what was left? 

Sure would answer a lot of questions like how the body really disappeared, why they say that silly crap when they eat crackers and drink wine, et cetera. 

You know a lot of those religious wing nuts are cannibals. Maybe these women were cannibals for Christ? 

Now leave me alone I have to read all the evidence for the Loch Ness monster.</description>

		<description>Enoch lived 365 years walking with God and then disappeared. Since no one ever saw him again some believe he could possibly still be living. Maybe taken away by God like Elijah but not noted. This is spoken of in Genesis 5:23 &amp; 24 

Literal interpretations take Methuselah&#039;s 969 years to be exactly 969 solar years.

Some others of note include:

1. Methuselah - 969 Genesis 5:27 
2. Jared - 962 Genesis 5:20 
3. Noah - 950 Genesis 9:29 
4. Adam - 930 Genesis 5:5 
5. Seth - 912 Genesis 5:8 
6. Kenan - 910 Genesis 5:14 
7. Enosh - 905 Genesis 5:11 
8. Mahalalel - 895 Genesis 5:17 
9. Lamech - 777 Genesis 5:31


The Bible tells us sin was introduced into the world by Adam and Eve, its influence became greater with each generation, and God progressively shortened man&#039;s life, particularly in the postdiluvian era: post deluvian meaning &quot;pertaining to the period after the Biblical flood or any great flood&quot;.

The word &quot;Methuselarity&quot; was coined by Aubrey de Gray to mean a future point in time when all of the medical conditions that cause human death would be eliminated and death would occur only by accident or homicide.

Now with these impossible to deny facts beyond and challenge who among you is getting all excited about the increase in life expectancy between 1907 and 2007?

The CDC claims this was largely due to a decreasing infant mortality rate, which was 9.99 percent in 1907; 2.63 percent in 1957; and 0.68 percent in 2007. 

I think if you check with Solomon and Xhim you will find this is all due to god throttling back and forth the lever of human lifespan. God is very concerned with how long we live relative to sin and great floods.</description>

		<description>Johnny,
I think they&#039;re talking about actual lifespan (i.e., years actually lived on avg), not theoretical lifespan limits.</description>

		<description>They&#039;ve doubled due to the germ theory of disease and vaccination. Yeah, there&#039;s fewer things to kill us... because we&#039;ve thwarted them. God, being imaginary, had nothing much to do with it.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s actually not a fact. It&#039;s a common misconception that human lifespans are much longer now than a couple hundred years ago. It&#039;s just that there are fewer things killing us. Left unmolested, the lifespan would have been about the same.</description>
