I wasnt talking to you sir.
Then Perhaps you *should* have been, since you have several claims in this thread that The Dagda has asked you to back up.

I wasnt talking to you sir. But was is Agnosticism? Maybe you should open a thread on that because there is no way I am going to convince you neither will you convince me.
I know this is a forum, if you want to direct a comment to one person alone you should pm them. That said it is still totally beside the point.

Do you mean what is agnosticism. It varies but in my case I refuse to believe in God until I see evidence. Gnostics know without proof and feel that knowledge comes from revelation rather than direct evidence. Agnostics are the opposite although you may even say you would believe if there was good evidence and all sorts.

What you believe has been told you from men but evidence is stacking against them.
Would you have some links?

Whatever your personal opinions towards a particular website may be the Egyptian Execration Texts does refer to people/events which are documented in the OT. Note:

Quote:
Jerusalem is first mentioned in the Egyptian execration texts (20-19th century BCE), when Egypt ruled Canaan. These documents illustrate one of the ways in which Egypt tried to keep its vassals loyal. The names of cities and their rulers were inscribed on clay bowls or figurines of slaves with their hands tied behind their backs. If a vassal revolted, the Egyptian magicians would break the image of the rebel in the hope that this would break his spirit. The names of two rulers of Jerusalem, Shas'an and Y'qar 'am, date from the 20th century. Texts a hundred years later preserve only the first syllable of a single ruler of Jerusalem, "Ba... " Many cities like Jerusalem were ruled by two leaders; a century later only one ruler is mentioned. Some see this as evidence that several tribes, each with its own leader, integrated within the city.

Also the Egyptian Papyrus Anastasi references the following:
Quote:
Come let me tell thee of other towns, which are above(??) them. Thou hast not gone to the land of , Kadesh, Tekhes, Kurmeren, Temenet, Deper, Idi, Herenem. . . The stream of Jordan, how is it crossed?. . . The(?) narrow defile is infested(?) with Shosu concealed beneath the bushes; some of them are of four cubits or of five cubits, from head(??) to foot(?), fierce of face, their heart is not mild, and they hearken not to coaxing

I did, remember I said that Jordan suggested to visit the dinosaur part first, no offense but I'd rather take the advice of a cartoon then take advice from a grumpy half son of god half son of human like you, lol.
