| Re: Does God exist? You have to question the legitimacy of religion especially Christianity when it comes to the creation story and the Virgin Birth.
The creation story has been falsified by science, that much I think any thinking person must agree with. (For example, to create day and night before you create the sun, isn't that a clever design God!?)
The Virgin Birth is a mistranslation of text and was just written by Matthew to fulfil some prophecy that was written 700 years before in the Old Testament. The actual translation is Young Woman, but they used the Greek which is Virgin. The Book of Matthew is one of the few books which says this about the Virgin Birth and seemed to be following prophecy and that Roman Gods talked about at the time had Virgin Births i.e Romulus. They even said that Ceasar had a Virgin Birth at the time.
The Book of Mark (which is an anonymous writer, not called Mark, that was named 100 years after the book was written) was a person who apprently didn't know Jesus because he didn't write Aramaic or Hebrew. The Book of Matthew is a carbon copy of Mark i.e of the 661 verses in Mark, 601 are copied in Matthew while 60% are copied from Mark by the Book of Luke.
