I've read several times the Cambrian period was not a specific point but a range like 530-570 mil yrs ago The only place I've seen the dates of 530-570Mya for the Cambrian era is in the PBS documentary on the Cambrian explosion. Every paleontological article I've read, especially since 1998, cites ...

jackal, welcome back. I'm confused about something. You said the Mistaken Point fossils (ah, the irony of that name) were discovered in 1967. I was under the impression that Stephen Gould based his theory of P.E. primarily on the Cambrian Explosion as it demonstrates sudden appearance of complex fo...

You're joking because it's getting close to Hallowean? I said 550 mil because the Cambrian is dated 530-570 mil years ago and you're arguing over 1 mil years? No, its a matter of about 30 million years. The first biodiversity "explosion" of the cambrian era occurred about 545 million years ago. The...

Yes the Cambrian explosion was around 550 mil yrs ago and according to Wikipedia and many other sources prior to the Cambrian explosion organisms were on the whole simple and comprised of individual cells therefore this is the time, complex life took hold. Steve, this is patently false. In 1967, a ...

It is an established historical fact that, following the Bar Kochba rebellion in 135 A.D., the Roman emporer Hadrian ordered that a sacred garden dedicated to Adonis be built in Bethlehem. It was built on the site of a grotto that was, at that time, considered to be the birthplace of Christ . I bel...

Jackal, First you say: I would have to say that... it was not likely that Bethlehem existed. Then you turn around and say: The archaeological evidence, or lack thereof, indicates that this early Bethlehem was abandoned around or shortly after the exile, and did not exist during the early Roman peri...

It IS doubtful! The article you provide disagrees with you. But that is irrelevant to the reason I posted the website address. You had said you provided it to give some background on the subject. That article gives a thorough and objective discussion on both the pro and con evidence and arguments o...

Jackal, Is the existence of bethlehem during the time of the gospels mentioning of Jesus' birth questionable, not likely, or is it certain that it did not exist? Could you please present in an undeniable statement what it is that you think, especially in light of Mort_Coyle's presented material? Th...

jackal, can you tell me where I can get a copy of this "Q" document because I've never seen it. I have, however, seen copies of the synoptics so perhaps (using your own standard) the document titled "Q" never existed. Ironically, you are willing to accept the existance of a 1st century autograph of...

Jackal, I had read the final paragraph of the article before I offerered it. It seems that you pre-supposed that I was bringing forth an article which would indicate that "Q" never existed. That was not the case. JC seemed to indicate a need for more information on the subject. I offered it. When y...
