There is no natural explanation for a man levitating into outer space.<br /><br />The story of the Ascension is absolutely preposterous and absolutely impossible. If we were to believe the story of the Ascension to be a description of a real historical event, then Jesus would still be somewhere in outer space on his very long galactic space odessey to heaven where he plans to eventually sit at the right hand of the Father.<br /><br />Modern science has demonstrated that travel to the nearest galaxy to our own would take two million *light years*. Since we know that Jesus was moving slower than the speed of light (his disciples were able to watch him ascend), Jesus hasn't even reached the Andromeda Galaxy yet, let alone Heaven! The story of the Ascension is a wild fabrication. A myth.<br /><br />So if the Ascension story is a blatant, fictitious myth, what does that say about the probability that the same authors, of the same four anonymous first century books, were relating true, historical details about the reanimation of the dead body of Jesus?<br /><br />Dubious, friends. Very dubious.<br />Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02519721717265344702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546468339418636140.post-14885727205019522712008-07-25T17:15:00.000-04:002008-07-25T17:15:00.000-04:00It has???It has???Anastasia Theodoridishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16092531121989260111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546468339418636140.post-83597702201480793232008-07-24T12:59:00.000-04:002008-07-24T12:59:00.000-04:00Excellent series.
