Nailed it. The Dead Sea scrolls corroborate almost 100% similarity between Biblical manuscripts dating 1000 yrs apart from each other.
'Probably the Dead Sea Scrolls have had the greatest Biblical impact. They have provided Old Testament manuscripts approximately 1,000 years older than our previous oldest manuscript. The Dead Sea Scrolls have demonstrated that the Old Testament was accurately transmitted during this interval. In addition, they provide a wealth of information on the times leading up to, and during, the life of Christ.'
-- Dr. Bryant Wood
Add that to the fact that the Bible possesses well over 25,000 manuscripts in its corner (all other books from early antiquity pale in comparison). The more manuscripts a specific work has, the harder it is to manipulate what the manuscripts say. Furthermore, all those manuscripts aren’t all stored in one location. A group of people can’t simply change the text of some manuscripts without being caught.
Keep this in mind, too: In order to know that an ancient manuscript has been changed or altered, one must first be in possession of the original, unchanged, manuscript(s).
We can be 100% confident that the versions of the Bible we possess today are, indeed, what the original authors wrote down.
This right here. This anon gets it.
Yeah, true, true.

Nailed it. Gotta keep the "perception of war" ongoing to justify the cash flow.
I ran up a down escalator once...what a rush
“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance, he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”
― Robert Jastrow, God and the Astronomers
Again, what is the first step before a building is demolished?

Listen, I aint saying this wasn't the case. I'm just talking through it being the first time Ive heard this theory.
2 tons - 15 tons. That's a heavy nose:
Seems like a reasonable question seeing you'd be adding roughly 2 tons (at a minimum) to the nose of the plane.
ehh....The Towers were still designed to withstand impacts like that. Regardless of where they were hit.
Meh...good point. But the towers were still designed to withstand impacts like that.
How heavy are those bombs? And would a passenger plane be able to remain in flight with one retrofitted to it's nose??
Plane = Hollow Aluminum tube
All masked people should be shot
Hmmm that’s actually a really good counterpoint.

I know you're saying this tongue in cheek, but people are more than welcome to ask this question.
