What was the role of secularism in fostering the creative thrust of the Renaissance?
Secularism in the Renaissance allowed artists and thinkers to explore new ideas and perspectives without being restricted by religious dogma. This freedom led to a flourishing of creativity in art, literature, and science as individuals were encouraged to think critically and express themselves without fear of censorship. By separating church and state, secularism created a space for innovation and intellectual growth that contributed to the transformative period of the Renaissance.

What apostle did not believe that Jesus was resurrected?

What is the story of Daniel and the lion's den about?
AnswerFirst of all, it can be demonstrated that the Book of Daniel is not a true story. In spite of adamant statements by some believers that the book was written by Daniel himself, scholars say that it was really written approximately 167 BCE, centuries after the events it purports to portray. The Book of Daniel was really using the Babylonian Exile as an allegory for the Syrian Empire that was oppressing the Jews at the time of writing. If the Book of Daniel was not really true, then of course the story of Daniel and the lion's den was certainly not true. The story in Daniel chapter 6 tells of Daniel being thrust into the role of second-in command of the entire empire, and of jealous men conspiring to have Daniel thrown into the den of lions, taking advantage of the well-known Persian code of morality, in which a promise can not be broken. It follows with a pious passage that can only be propaganda. Not only was Daniel a role model for the readers, by praying to his God in spite of the risk, his God was able to save him from the lions, just as God had previously saved the young men from the furnace in a quite similar context. The fact that the story even tells of the wrong Persian king who defeated the Babylonians (Darius, when it should have been Cyrus) is further proof, if any is needed, of the fictional nature of the story.
How deep was the flood in the book of Genesis?
The flood in Genesis is recorded as covering 15 cubits (around 20 feet) above the highest mountain (Genesis 7:20). It is also known that if the earth were flat (but of course remained circular as it has always been) with no mountains or hills, then water would cover the earth to a height of several miles. An underground sea under east Asia the size of the Arctic Ocean has also been discovered through seismic surveys. Thus there is also much water under the earth. It is also known that large-scale techtonic events can happen quickly as demonstrated by Dr John Baumgartner, a world-leader in the fild of plate techtonics. This could also include mountains being thrust upwards rapidly. In this regard many mountains of the world, including Everest are known to have marine fossils near their summits. Such of course can only form under water. These scientific facts suggest that there may be more to the Genesis flood in terms of fact than many would care to admit.
How did Daniel in the lions' den die?
The Book of Daniel says that Daniel was captured in the 3rd year of the reign of Jehoiakim. On this evidence, Daniel must have been in captivity 70 years by the time the Persians defeated the Babylonians. Daniel would probably have been in his late seventies or early eighties by the time the Book says that he was thrown in the lion's den.However, the Book of Daniel says that the Persian king, who defeated the Babylonians and later attempted to sacrifice Daniel to the lions, was Darius. But historians say that Cyrus was the Persian king who defeated the Babylonians, and that Darius was a successor. If the author really intended to place this event during the actual reign of Darius, then Daniel would have been at least ninety and possibly more than 100 years old at the time.
Jesus where was he stabbed?
The Gospel of John says "But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water." (John 19:33, 34 NIV.) Later - after the resurrection - John records, "Then he said to Thomas, 'Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.'" (John 20:27 NIV.) Specifically, the word for "side" is πλευρὰν which Strongs' Concordance says means "a rib, i.e. (by extension) side" so, incidentally, it's the same word the Greek Lexicon of the Old Testament uses for Adam's side in Genesis 2:21. There is also a bit of controversy over Matthew 27:49 because the KJV and most other English Bibes leave out a sentence that is in some (but not the majority) of old manuscripts. This phrase is "And another took a spear, and thrust it into His side, and out came water and blood." as cited in an article at http://bibletools.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Bible.show/sVerseID/26860/eVerseID/26860 This is essentially in agreement with John's account, so it doesn't really make much of a difference whether you accept the line from Matthew or not; Jesus was stabbed by a spear in his side.
