Lots of unexplainable things in this world like I mentioned above yet people fully believe in them.  

At least the people living 2000 years ago knew what a woman was.

Today, not so sure.

Not with children seeing and describing in perfect details relatives they never knew about and its hardly the basis for any faith. 

Reality is there is much in this world that is unexplainable yet we solidly believe in them.  Big Bang.....Gravity to name a few.  Some even still believe the COVID virus came solely from the wet market and there is ZERO scientific evidence of that.    

CNN is their god.

So back to the OP how many here think that Jesus was the son of god and performed all the miracles which the church uses to WOW young kids into believing he was actually god on earth?

Enough with the covid BS ffs.

Not really, in our house Santa Claus is real.  Of course he is not a fat man in a red suit.

The accuracy of the dead sea scrolls to the previously earliest known text of the old testament is critical in knowing how accurate these texts were passed and copied from generation to generation.

Biblical significance

See also: Biblical canon and Biblical manuscript

Before the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest Hebrew-language manuscripts of the Bible were Masoretic texts dating to the 10th century CE, such as the Aleppo Codex.^[519] Today, the oldest known extant manuscripts of the Masoretic Text date from approximately the 9th century. The biblical manuscripts found among the Dead Sea Scrolls push that date back a full thousand years, to the 2nd century BCE.^[520] This was a significant discovery for Old Testament scholars who anticipated that the Dead Sea Scrolls would either affirm or repudiate the reliability of textual transmission from the original texts to the oldest Masoretic texts at hand. The discovery demonstrated the unusual accuracy of transmission over a thousand-year period, rendering it reasonable to believe that current Old Testament texts are reliable copies of the original works.

According to The Dead Sea Scrolls by Hebrew scholar Millar Burrows

Of the 166 words in Isaiah 53, there are only seventeen letters in question. Ten of these letters are simply a matter of spelling, which does not affect the sense. Four more letters are minor stylistic changes, such as conjunctions. The remaining three letters comprise the word "light," which is added in verse 11, and does not affect the meaning greatly.^[521]

IYHO.  I don’t think anyone has a lock on what is real and what is bullshit.  Thinking you can explain the earth and the stars, evolution, human intelligence and everything else that explains how we got here is just foolish.

Thinking it magically appeared from some god is foolish. And just like I told Snake, my opinion is all that matters.

As is mine.  No one can explain it.  That’s the point.  So everyone gets to have their opinion except in the minds of ass clowns like HSR and DerpHaven.  The left has demonized organized religion and some for good reason.  But their god is the state, which I will never be on board with.

The theory of an almighty deity in the sky is a human construct, made by men who didn't know what the stars or the sun were or that the earth was round. There is zero scientific fact behind any of it. Man created god period,not the other way around. In order to believe you must have faith as there is no proof and never has there ever been. Just stories handed down and misconstrued over time.
