World's largest religion?
Yes, Christianity is the world's largest religion (33% and has 2.2 billion practicing followers).

Has the most supporting evidence?
Yes, absolutely. Consider the following:

1. Jesus Christ fulfills over two hundred (200) very detailed, specific Messianic Prophecies in the Old Testament. (You are more than welcome to research these 200 (plus) prophecies using the Hebrew and Greek and other resources.)

2. Forty-five (45) first century sources (28 Christian and 17 secular/hostile) confirm Jesus Christs' existence -- that He walked the earth. http://thedevineevidence.com/jesus_history.html

3. Jesus makes 35 “I AM“ statements [30 in The Gospel of John and 5 in Revelation] (Gk. ego eimi) asserting His deity.
Two examples: “Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born [lit. came into being], I Am.’" (John 8:58, NASB)
Jesus also said, “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I Am, you will die in your sins." (John 8:24)

4. Darwinism also supports the accuracy of the Bible. How? One-hundred percent of the ‘missing links’ (1859 to 2012) were discovered by atheists. (Can you say conflict of interest?) All of there so-called ‘finds’ were filled with fraud … forgery … and fabrication.

5. The witness of the Holy Spirit [God’s guidance] to Christians in their lives.

There are literally tons of other evidences (in various fields) which show that Christianity as the only practicle/viable/possible religion.

Summary of the “10 Things Everyone Needs to Know about Islam”: by Dr. Emir Caner

1. Allah and Jehovah are NOT the same God
2. Jihad, or holy war, is prescribed in the Koran and Hadith

4. Islam does not believe in religious freedom
5. Islam has a lower view of woman than Christianity
6. Islam has a low view of Jesus
7. Islam has a low view of the Bible
8. Islam is the most work-based religion in the world
9. Islam is divided among denominations
10. Many Muslims are coming to faith in Christ

Every christian should know this!

I'm grateful to all the Christians who practice and preach tolerance for other religions.


I'm also glad there are Christians that accept the truth about the physical world around them, when the evidence is clear.

the "Evidence" takes a great deal of faith to believe

so do the Religious Myths,possibly more so!

Actually the "Religious Myths" take a great deal less to believe than the "Scientific Myths" do!

With science you have to go by all kinds of theories and information, (Most of which is taken on faith)

With my belief all I need is ONE book! I can say "God did it" and have almost no holes.

You have to point to all sorts of "Facts" and study's. Most of which take faith to believe in. There's more study's and theories in atheism than Christianity.

Almost all of which take faith. Christianity does not have that much info

less info=less faith. :)

I have to disagree. Faith is only required where there is a LACK of evidence.

I cannot agree that any of this is evidence at all, let alone evidence that proves Christianity is any more real than any other religion...or real at ALL for that matter.

Sorry, you have not sold me.

I really don't care. I'm not trying to "Sell" anything. I'm talking about faith. Not evidence.

Where is the "Evidence" that the "Big Bang" occurred? Or that all life evolved from rocks?

This is not science because you can't go back in time and show me, you can't test it, you can't experiment on it. As such it is faith based.

Yeah, its easy to make claims, and harder to justify them. Its also easy to hide in comforting ignorance, and most 'young earth creationists' do.

you really need to do some serious reading!
I wonder who put those things in your head!
Definitaly no Scientist that's for sure!

so,what you mean to say that Truth is now decided by Majority-Vote?

The Myth the most People believe in has to be the Truth?

My bad, ShiningArmour, I didn’t make it clear who I was addressing with each statement. That portion of my reply was regarding the original post, which is the "evidence" I was referencing.

I believed the OP took on the tone of persuasive writing. If I was mistaken, by all means, disregard my comments altogether.

Of course, you're quite right. I accept the big bang as a theory the same as I accept creationism as a theory. Yes, I have preferences based on my own logical conception of the two...but that’s just my personal opinion of two unproven theories.

I don’t begrudge anyone their opinions or beliefs. I encourage people to challenge my own thoughts in hopes of selling/persuading me. I like knowing what they think and why. I was hoping that the opinions and scripture listed in the OP was just a starting point. I will stick around if there is going to be a constructive adult conversation on the subject. We’ll see where this goes.

Coelacanth

The Coelacanth is a species of fish that used to be put forward as evidence for vertebrates’ “transition from water to land” thesis. Fossil Coelacanths were once regarded as evidence of an intermediate form between fish and amphibians. Based on fossil remains of the creature, evolutionary biologists suggested it contained a primitive (and not yet fully functional) lung in its body.

This organ was described in a great many scientific sources. Drawings were even published showing the Coelacanth moving from the sea onto dry land.

On 22 December 1938, however, a most significant discovery was made in the Indian Ocean. A living member of the species Latimeria, a member of the Coelacanth species that had been portrayed as having become extinct 70 million years ago, was caught in the open sea! The discovery of a living Coelacanth definitely came as a major shock to evolutionists. The evolutionist paleontologist J. L. B. Smith said that he could not have been more astonished if he had met a dinosaur in the street. In the years that followed, more than 200 Coelacanths have been caught in various regions of the sea.

When the first few of these fish were examined, it was realized that the speculation concerning them had been groundless. Contrary to what had been claimed, the Coelacanth had no primitive lung or a large brain. The structure that evolutionist researchers had thought to be the fish’s a primitive lung was actually nothing more than an oil sac in its body. Moreover, it was also realized that the Coelacanth, which had been depicted as aamphibian-to-be preparing to emerge from the water, actually lived in deep ocean waters and hardly ever rose to above 180 meters (590 feet).

At this news, the popularity of the Coelacanth among evolutionist publications suddenly waned. An evolutionist paleontologist by the name of Peter L. Forey made this admission in an article in Nature magazine:

The discovery of [living specimen of] Latimeria raised hopes of gathering direct information on the transition of fish to amphibians, for there was then a long-held belief that Coelacanths were close to the ancestry of tetrapods. . . .But studies of the anatomy and physiology of Latimeria have found this theory of relationship to be wanting and the living coelacanth’s reputation as a missing link seems unjustified.

As his admission shows, no intermediate form between fish and amphibians ever existed. The Coelacanth, the only serious intermediate form proposed by evolutionists, is nothing more than a living species of fish with nothing whatsoever to do with evolution.

This is what idiotic young earth creationists do. They cherry pick data that fits their agenda, while ignoring abundant contrary data.

The above post about Coelancanth shows that scientists, unlike young earth creationists (YECs), learn from their mistakes. YECs are fully emotionally and psychologically invested in a lie, and most will never admit the error of their worldview. They can't learn, they can't develop a better model of reality. Scientists learn, and scientists improve upon their model.

Come on, tgtg, can't you at least cherry-pick something from the last couple of decades? Going back 70 years to show the errors of scientists makes your position look weak.

In that case, do you accept each of these creation myths as well?
