dodger Posted November 29, 2003 Share Posted November 29, 2003 I like the idea of going back in time and manipulating an event. Having said that, if we all could do it there'd be hell to pay!! Imagine coming back to the future to find that nobody in your family knew you or you didn't even exist (hang on. I think I've lost the plot here!)

grep Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Originally posted by halevan I would like to meet Jesus Christ in person, to witness the miracles he performed, to see him raising the dead, changing water into wine, making the blind see again. Also, to hear the sermon on the mount, hear his voice,look at his wonderfull face, experience his magnetic personality, touch his garment, and beg him to heal me. Ah what bliss. If only!!!!!!!!!!! That reminds me of a SF short story - I think the title was "Let's Go to Golgotha". So anyway time travel gets invented and the hero of the story leads a tour party to Golgotha to witness the crucifiction. Including the time-travelers there are only a few people there. The hero returns to his own time and then leads another party back to witness the crucifiction. There are a few more people there. He carries on with this pattern (as do other tour guides) until eventually there are millions of time-travellers at Golgotha and the hero is having to ignore all the other instances of himself. g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidla Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 Originally posted by fnkysknky It's a time machine, it only lets you go back to things that did happen What an insightful comment. I've yet to see evidence to suggest that Jesus didn't live. Yet there is plenty to say that he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fnkysknky Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 I'm not saying he didn't live, I believe he probably did - just that he didn't perform any miracles, wasn't the son of God etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidla Posted December 4, 2003 Share Posted December 4, 2003 So if he did nothing special, then why is he famous? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 Because there's a lot of gullible, wishful thinking people around. Even if Jesus did exist, he was probably just a good orator, rather than somebody with "higher" powers. If anyone perhaps wants to show me any evidence of the existence of a god of any kind, I'd be very interested to see it. Unfortunately, nobody can, and any Christians I talk to just mumble on about needing to have Faith - yeah right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the bible. But anyway, I don't really care if Jesus performed miracles or not, it's his philosophy I admire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I've read the bible. It's a good read, though majorly bizarre in places, but I don't think very much of it is based on fact. Nothing wrong with the philosophies - all good peaceful stuff, but I find it odd that people actually believe in all that stuff. I'd like to be able to say it's harmless, but unfortunately it's not. Anyway, this is digressing from the thread so in answer to the original poster, I reckon the Big Bang would be hard to beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
