    Kinda around 2000 years seems to be the popular guess. The year notation, e.g. 2005, is also something of a clue.

    about 1,965 years, supposing J.C (if he existed at all) died around 34 Anno Domini, and that's when his little cult venerated him to a status of messianic proportions.

    Cow patties. The universe has existed for over 20 billion years, probably longer. The concept of religion in the first place didn't even develop until 3,265,379,000 or so years after the Earth itself formed, nevermind monotheistic religions which didn't start until about 3000 BCE.

    Horse hockey. God existed before He created the universe, as did worship of Him. Jesus (Jehovah) created the universe under the Father's direction.

    Ah yes, modernism. "Modern" people are so very different from their forebears. "Modern" times are so different from former times. The "modern" universe obeys different laws than the "ancient" one. Give me a break.

    Yeah, because we use REASON and INTELLIGENCE to govern our thought instead of blind faith and blatantly false presumptions.

    How very prejudiced of you, to assume that the ancients had no intelligence or reason.

    Marlin, what the hell are you talking about?

    You know I was reading this little book by a local Christian Church and it just made me burst into laughter. It said something to the extent of, "We are proud to announce the progress of our Church returning to the philosophy and traditions of the first century."

    Returning to the first century is progress?

    I assume they meant that they were returning to the original teachings of Jesus and the original structure of His church as established in the first century. The original teachings of Jesus, whether you believe Him to be divine or not, are timeless and always relevant.

    Stop capitalizing common nouns, you bunghole. Unless used at the beginning of a sentence "he" and "him" should be entirely lower-case. Use proper grammer, for once.
    The day going BACKWARDS is thought of as "progressive", is the day three-eyed unicorn pigs fly out of my ass, on fire, and fire lightsaber-wielding ninjas out of an assault rifle.
