Holy Is The Lord God Almighty - Chris Tomlin

Begin, work on, AND finish.

The style and intent of writing in regards to biographies were much different thousands of years ago. Whereas now biographies tend to be detailed, but then authors wanted to state what they felt was most important to be shared and recorded - it was a common trend beyond just the Gospels.

The Gospel is not what I'd call a weak description, however, anyway, which is what was written 30 years after. More detail wasn't added to them after their completion.

It doesn't take 30 years to BEGIN the process of writing the story of Jesus down.

And you should also understand that the initial description of Jesus 30 years later was the weakest descriptions of him.

That is opposite to a fact based description of events.

Fact based descriptions will be most detailed in their first instances.

Myth based descriptions will grow stronger as more details are added.

The Bible belongs to the latter category and is thus myth based.

QED

Average life expectancy was around 30 years at that time - perhaps even shorter.

From Wikipedia Life_expectancy (check it out!):
Bronze age: 18 years
Classical greece: 20-30 years
Classical rome: 20-30 years
Medieval Britain: 20-30 years
Early 20th century: 30-40 years
Current world average: 66 years

By the way, you should appreciate science for what it has done to average life expectancy :-) It's HUGE!

often spread via verbal exchange. The main goal of the disciples after Jesus's death was the spread the word as quickly and efficiently as possible, which at the time was through speech.

But I mean, the fact that you aren't even aware of basic facts (with the lifespan thing) really does discredit your arguments, which seem to be based by what you personally don't think is possible, but is not routed in fact.

plane or call someone up by the phone. Plus as I mentioned before, there were no computers - writing down these things would not have been a quick process.

Besides, just research it - in comparison to the other documents from the past, 30 years is incredibly quick. For example, one of the earlier biographies of Alexander the Great was written more than 400 years after his death. According to your logic, Alexander the Great couldn't have existed.

Not to mention that in the past, history was

Wow, are you serious? 30 years the average lifespan?! That statement just totally ruined your credibility in regards to this intellectual conversation. The lifespan was much longer than that. And it most certainly is different, if only because of technology. It took longer to write things, longer for information to travel. The authors of the Gospel researched and interviewed before the began writing, first off, which would surely take years, considering how people couldn't just jump on a

That's a good pile of rubbish. 30 years in the old time of the Bible are no different than 30 years are for you and I today. If anything 30 years meant more in the old time where people lived shorter lives!!! 30 years was probably close to the average life span of people at that time.

And also the writing of the Bible STARTED 30 years later - thus what suddenly made the story become so interesting?

It absolutely nonsense...

Different time period. It took a lot longer to record information, a lot longer for information to travel. The finish product was completed 30 years later - by no means does that mean people started writing about him then. In fact, in comparison to other events from the same era in which people agree to be true, 30 years is an impressively quick time. It does make sense if you take it in the right context. We'll dealing with something 2000 years before.

30 years is extremely long time for complete silence about Jesus. It would be equivalent to 9/11 being written about in the year 2031. Can you even imagine that NOBODY wrote anything at all about 9/11 until 2031???
Every day that passes since 9/11 the story becomes less worthy to write about.
It would be the same with Jesus. If Jesus didn't impress people enough to make people write about him while he was alive...why would people bother 30 years later?

It makes absolutely ZERO sense...

ghostwriter1941, absolutely in my case I don't think God is real. I actually find nothing other than sign of mass delusion. I've travelled to more than 40 countries and have experienced the same psychology of delusion everywhere - even it's totally different belief systems.
We believe because our brains have evolved to find comfort in a belief system. Actually religion is a product of evolution - as strange as that might sound to you.

How great and awesome is our God

HOLY IMAGINARY IS OUR GOD!
