No. Historical texts, with the earliest being 25 years after the event. The number, accuracy and timing is unparalleled in antiquity.

Funny how these written directions from God always end up getting destroyed. You would think they would take better care of the words of God
Same thing happened to Joseph Smith and the Mormons
If you're speaking of Paul's letters, the oldest manuscripts we have are generally dated between 175 and 225 CE. These are most certainly not the originals penned by Paul but more likely copies of copies of copies of copies. Every copy was hand copied by someone with a theological agenda and the copies we have never agree 100% with other copies. Copyright laws didn't exist so it is likely that several of Paul's letters were written by others much later.
And before that we were less than monkeys. Every living creature is related. We all evolved differently but scientists believe life started as a single cell organism and then became multi cell and then diversified into all the living creatures we see today including plants.
You believe god POOFED us here one day. Idiot! Now you can cry that I'm attacking your religion. Damn right I am because it's making you stupid.

Then you are a god too. Maybe not the most powerful god but you are a god. You live forever, always happy, never sick, etc. How is that not you becoming a god?
Anyone who denies global warming is an idiot. You are not a scientist so how dare you question their findings. This is what I'm talking about when I say religion makes people dumb and they use it to control you. Republicans/Conservatives are brainwashed to deny science. You have all become brainwashed to think the media, scientists and schools are brainwashing our kids and lying. You can't even see it's Shell Oil who's behind the global warming denying bullshit.
It's really sad that half of the voters are so ******* deranged and deplorable. Really. And the other sad thing about the citizens in this country is 50% of them don't even vote. So half the voters are ******* stupid and half the country doesn't even bother to vote. No wonder the corporations and rich keep winning. They're doing great. They did great under Obama too. Just a lot better under Trump and Bush.
He gets to live forever, never get sick, never have to work, never get hungry, never sad, have whatever he wants, never argue, a feeling better than an orgasm non stop for all eternity. If that's not a god what is?
He can never be THE God but he certainly would be a god based on his description of what's going to happen to him for the rest of eternity.

Conservatives ACTIVELY "do things" to affect the economy, in a positive way when a republican is president and in a negative way when a democrat is in office. I have actually heard more than one conservative small business owner state "i don't put money into my business for growth when a democrat is in office. But when a republican is in office I do all I can to help my business grow".......
purposely hurting the economy when a democrat is in office
purposely helping the economy when a republican is in office.

What science are you referring to? What Christians are you referring to? You lump us all together because you cannot comprehend. Sir Francis Bacon came up with the scientific method and was a devout Anglican. He said, "Knowledge is the rich storehouse for the glory of the Creator and the relief of man's estate"
The Renaissance was a period of rebirth of science and culture. It was influenced greatly by the Black Death or plague as people were dying left and right. The other great influence were the wars in Italy, Spain, and elsewhere in Europe. People tried to escape both. Yes, it was a period of getting away from Middle Age thinking and the Roman Catholic Church (RCC), but the church changed as well. Art was created for the other churches in Italy, not just for the Vatican. It was a period of humanism, but the church changed from the Middle Ages, too. You seem to ignore that. Are you sure science was humanist, too? What you claim as secular today is not all that.
Look at its people from DaVinci, Descartes, Galileo, Copernicus, and more to see they were influenced by the RCC and they tried to get away, too.
Even the Protestant Christians (many of us here) rebelled against the RCC and broke away from its teachings to go by the five Solas.

Actually the Catholic Church did more for science than it will ever be given credit for, including teaching it in universities and applying math and physics to building projects that themselves instigated even more learning and investigations. Paganism certainly never would incubate anything like science and the moral framework it can't exist without; we now have a situation in universities where a majority of papers use fake data, and a majority of professors are certifiably mental ill.

Please explain. What should we be seeing?
I did explain how God did it. It's all written down in the Bible as the Bible theory in science. It's the secular/atheist scientists who have not explained, but tried to make up circumstantial evidence to fit their theory. It is all a house of cards built on false evidence and assumptions. They secular scientists had to remove creation scientists before they could built their house of cards. If you had anything, then you would have listed it as start of space-time, quantum particles pop into existence, big bang, early gases form, expansion of space, long time, theory of everything resolves quantum mechanics and laws of physics, abiogenesis, etc. However, all you have is bullshit and a house of cards, so that explains your post.

The Five Solas - Points from the Past that Should Matter to You
Yes, the Renaissance was a time when the shackles of the church were removed and the arts, science, literature and exploration flourished. The first reason is tired and old, but one that became so precisely because it bears repeating; naturalistic explanations that have passed through the filter of the scientific method or that are at least founded upon reasonable inductive hypotheses based on the available evidence have proven again and again to be far superior to any other method in bringing us to a better understanding of the universe, life, and even our place in it.
Physiology and psychology began the evisceration of metaphysics as the province of the philosophy and theology and carried much of this lofty battle to the scientific arena where rude physical truths must be accounted for. In a similar way the development of the scientific method and the consensus it brings, combined with the academic and intellectual freedoms of the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment, left less and less room for literal interpretations of any creation tales and fables. I have yet to see a convincing argument as to how allowing for supernatural creation really advances our understanding of the natural world.. Without a plausible framework to show us how we are to know the sculptors hand or understand the tools that he used, it is futile.
Until theology or creation science can come up with a plausible means to investigate the method of supernatural creation, some tentative hypothesis, a beginnings of a framework, then what useful role can they have in advancement of knowledge? All of the whiny arguments of ID'iot Creationism only serve as foils for complexity, not as alternative mechanisms. In physics, when infinity shows up as a result of equations, the equations are not considered solved; they are considered to have no real-world validity. Supernatural intervention as a function seems to have a similar deadening effect.
Once again, wby don't you supernaturalists present your "General Theory of Supernatural Creation" so we can peer review your claims to tbe god as opposed to all the other competing claims to the gods.
.Creation quacks removed themselves when they failed to offer a single, viable explanation for the natural world that did not depend on a version of partisan gods that were nothing more than hand-me-down versions of earlier gods.
A lot of small struggling business owners aren't that bright.
Yea because they didn't believe that science challenged their religious beliefs. James Bond is probably not a catholic.
Born agains are the worst. Or those people who go to megachurches.
The other day I said our prisons are full of people who believe in God. So did you see that female cop in Dallas who walked into the wrong apartment and shot the black man she thought was an intruder? This is what she had to say when she was found guilty.
“I feel like a terrible person. I feel like a piece of crap,” she told the courtroom through sobs. “I hate that I have to live with this every single day of my life. And I ask God for forgiveness, and I hate myself every single day. I feel like I don’t deserve a chance to be with my family and friends. And I wish he was the one with the gun who killed me.”
