or better said does not discount the possibility. also the athiest tends to be more forceful in trying to put for his disbelief to others

But, it beckons the question why would Atheists be so preoccupied with trying to show an interest in the subject at all ?

Might they have Agnostic tendencies ? spock

God is real and the existence of both the living and non living things in our environment testify to this statement of truth.An atheist know in his heart that there is a supreme being, though he fail to acknowledge it.

Agnostic: "there isn't enough evidence either way to convince me one way or thr other, there may be a god, there may not be"

Athiest:"There is no god, period. no possibility, he simply doesn't exist" many athiest also view anyone who does believe in god, as foolish, they same way you might if someone told you they truly believed in the Easter bunny

To be perfectly honest, I'd be to cowardly to not believe in God.

I could not function in this world.
So you cannot function without relying on myth to get you by think

Well now I am confused. Doesn't seem the OP really want to know about other books out there, but just to attack other beliefs. I post just google and someone can find books. But some how it is winning. If someone doesn't believe...your choice. If someone believes...there choice. Isn't going after a belief the same as believers going after non believers?

Okay, here's two examples...

The receding waters of the Dead Sea have revealed more of the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.

These obvious habitations of a bygone people plainly show the signs of their demise.

The pitting by sulfur is fierce and there's absolutely no local source of what rained-down on these cities.

No volcanos or natural events.

****************************************************************************************************************************************

Secondly, how about Noah's Ark ?

It's a real artifact in eastern Turkey.

This petrified wooden boat has hardware still attached.

It is exactly 300 Cubits long. (As Mentioned In The Bible)

It sits 6300 feet above sea-level... NOT a very practical joke !

right now every expedition that has gone on a search for the noahs ark has found some evidence of it. The latest group were a group of Evangelical Christians. Actual architect's have said once more after many times every group trying to find the noahs ark always find it.

Having a place found does not mean the actual statements in the bbible are true. The place might have existed yes and the event it's famous for might have happened in a way but I very much doubt that a god made it happen, a god did not kill all the people In pompey. A tragic event happened what do people usually say when something big happens. ..God did it, they still do it to this day, for Instance. ..All the children starving to death In the world but a woman beats cancer what do people say god works in mysterious ways. People can always write something and exaggerate if it isn't awe worthy. The media do it all the time.

I think Ron Wyatt was a Seventh Day Adventist, but his documentaries are very extensive.

Yes, Pompeii was wiped-out by a local hazard, but the people of that city were very immoral as well.

The most common assumption that God is supposed to come-to-the-rescue in this imperfect world for as often as very un-preferable event occurs is sort of the exact opposite of humanities obligation to recognize their indebtedness to that which is the source of their existence.

(The Lord Gives And The Lord Takes Away)

The Bible does say that, 'time and unforeseen circumstances befall all.' (Ecclesiastes 9: 11)

Also, the assumption that One can deliberately ignore some of God's most basic prerequisites and somehow be exempt from tragedy is also a weak excuse to blame God.

Lastly... Since when does the Media represent what constitutes being God's will ? whoa

I was giving an example of how people can twist things to get people to think what they want them to think using the media as an example. to quote the words of Steven fry "if god was real he would be a hideous monster who enjoys people suffering and is a sadist" the meaning of the religions out there have been lost, they are twisted and corrupted for the benefit of other people who were supposedly sent as gods messengers. if god truly existed then I myself would hold my hands up and say well I can understand why you are angry at the human race, but at the end of the day we are just sheep with no shepherd, and with no shepherd to guide what did you expect. if there were a god he would guide his people instead of letting his so called word get corrupted by people who either thought they were doing his will or by people who so obviously did not have other people best interests at heart. the bible cannot be used as a life guide as the people who wrote it were as corrupted as the people reading it. everyone looks to something else or someone else to "remedy things" to make them feel like their time on the earth means something more, but at the end of the day we as humans cannot lead and cannot be led because we are corrupt and its our nature.

This is why being good and doing good things to help other people is amazing especially when it is done with pure intention.
