900 you say? Well that represents less than 1/50th of 1% of the worlds scientests. And, its not a decent from evolution. The majority of the people signing it think that there may be factors other than natural selection - such as genetic drift and gene flow that cause species to evolve.
I recomend you look up Project Steve which is a list of scientists with the given name "Steve" or "Steven" who support evolution. With just that name alone there are already more than 1,200 signitories.
truth is self-evident (things like: the whole is greater than its part ....).. truth is always right (things like: caring for the accident victim helplessly bleeding on the road ....).. claiming: only we have the truth is like claiming: only my university is useful.
history shows that many school/college drop-outs have made significant contributions to the society like many those who completed their education!
and on the contrary, many school/college drop-outs have made significant damage to the society like some of those who completed their education!
Anyone can claim anything. What matters is the evidence you have to support your proposition.
christian denominations say we go to heaven, witness say we stay alseep until ressurection.

i'm not really concerned with death atm, i'm not dead.
How come no one asks, "Is there life before birth?"
I don't remember being around before I was born. Chances are I'm not going to be around after I die.
the entire organization shoves all its chips into the center of the table on one bet: they are the only mouthpiece of god on earth.. what are the odds to this bet?.

Its okay to post things multiple times. People new to the site can't possibly go through all the archives and be caught up on every story. For some people this is the first time hearing about this. Nobody appointed you moderator of this site Yadda yadda.
from ancient accounts hostile to christinity, we can learn the following:.
jesus was born and lived in palestine.
he was born, supposedly, to a virgin and had an earthly father who was a carpenter.
No, we can't learn ANY of that from ancient sources. Because the ancient sources that you provide in your references
A.) Didn't know Jesus.
B.) Weren't contemporaries of Jesus (all were born after Jesus supposed cruxifiction)
C.) None of them knew anyone who knew Jesus.
D.) And the sources for their information comes from Christians over sixty years after Jesus died.
What you're claiming is equivalant to future historians from the year 4000 saying that a reference from a present day day figure - who in turn is citing one the nuts from Ancient Aliens - proves that aliens actually landed at Roswell. Using sources, who themselves are getting their information from third hand biased accounts, written decades after a supposed event, is NOT a credible source.
The writer of your link, J Warner Wallace, is not a historian nor is he a textual critic. He has a degree in Architecture and his book in NOT peer reviewed. In other words, he has no academic credibility in this field and his work has not been checked. It's always good to get information from a wide range of sources but when your reading online be sure to always CHECK SOURCES!
Thallus, Tacitus, Mara Bar-Serapion, Phlegon, Pliny the Younger, etc, are not capable of supporting the claims that you are making becuase none of them were contemporariers of Jesus and their sources are all from unknown third hand accounts.

You seem to be using the word "psychopath" VERY loosly. I think your theory would benefit from more concise language and specific examples of good and bad cop behavior.

this follows other odd reports from other sources: that un's sister is in charge, that the capital is locked down and that the number 2 man in north korea is meeting with south korean reunification officials.. .
can we hope that this affront to human decency is now changing?
North Korea does not have ICBMs.
