What are these manuscripts? Where can I find more information concerning them? Or are you just pulling this assertion out of your ass like alot of theists do when lying about their religion?

How do you know? Did you carbon date them yourself? Or are you relying on second or fifth hand knowledge?

I'm guessing you carbon dated the texts you're referring to? Or did you just say that for kicks?

I smell an appeal to The Evil Atheist Conspiracy (tm) here. And where do you get your own "knowledge", Mr. Smarty Theist? Reading one of the myriad versions of the bible? Listening to your friendly local neighborhood pastor? The 700 Club?

Really? Or are you just saying that? You wouldn't be lying would you? I mean you don't want to misrepresent your fellow humanists would you?

Well, OJuice mentioned the tablets concerning the Gilgamesh myth. And then there are those pesky writings of the Egyptians.

Really? What exactly did he tell you? Or perhaps more importantly how did he speak to you? Do you hold conversations with God on a regular basis?
