JFTR, Wikipedia has a whole article [1] on this misconception.

The Pauline letters are a decent evidence that around 50-60 CE,
the existence of Jesus was not questioned by at least the early
Christians themselves.
 
It doesn't seem plausible that an entirely fictional person
could become an undisputed historical figure, even in a specific
"subculture," in mere 20 years.
 
Of course, Wikipedia has this one covered [2], too.
 
Also of interest could be [2] (which I haven't read yet.)

I see it could only be "contrary" if we assume that "days" in
the first chapter of Genesis refer to regular "earthly" days.
 
Frankly, I'm not sure that there's an easy way to say "a billion
years" in either Aramaic or biblical Hebrew, and I'm even less
sure that there would have been any need for such specificity.
 
Hence, I stand by my point that Genesis does not necessarily
contradict "evolution and evolutionary time scales".

If we ignore the days may or may not be billions of years bullshit
Genesis also says that Adam had no parents but as evolution is true we
know humans evolved so there was no first human. Obviously the number
of such flaws in Genesis is legion.

Correct me if I am wrong, mate, but this newsgroup doesn't exist for
your personal entertainment and I certainly am not here for your
personal amusement. This newsgroup is for posts about C++ and C++
related projects ONLY; not egregious posts about "God" or similar posts
dressed up as posts about fucking eclipses. I will call out Rick and
other idiots who post OT shite including pointing out, using sound
logical, and rational intelligence why the shite is shite.

There appear to be flaws in Genesis because you look at the world's
teachings and viewpoint as though it were true. You accept it based
on what you've been taught as though it were simply true.
 
There is another examination of that same data, and it is based on
addressing issues which remain in the worldview account.
 
If you examine the Biblical account, you would see that it is
logical and does account for everything we see in nature through
what we can observe today. It answers questions that remain un-
answered by the worldview account. And it simultaneously validates
the Bible and all Biblical teachings.
 
The reason why you can so easily believe the worldview point is
because there's an active spiritual enemy leading you toward that
thought in your mind, Leigh. If you would say to that voice, "You
know what? You may be right or wrong, but I'm going to investigate
it for myself," and then really investigate it. You would find the
truth and it would reveal itself to you because of who/what truth
truly is.
 
Thank you,

Everything you say is predicated on your belief that the Bible is true.
 
Well consider this:
 
Assumption #1: Genesis creation story is a myth/allegory and Adam and
Eve are a fiction.
Assumption #2: Jesus Christ (either biblical or historical) existed.
 
The Bible (Old and New Testaments) describe the genealogy of Jesus
Christ all the way from Joseph and Mary back to Adam and Eve. Given our
two assumptions at what point does this 50-generation genealogy
transition from fact to fiction and what is the proof of this transition?
 
IMO the entire genealogy is suspect and assumption #2 is bogus. There
is no evidence contemporary to Christ's existence of his existence: it
all came out in the latter part of the first century in writings from
the likes of Josephus and Tacitus a significant time after Jesus's
supposed death. The Gospels themselves are complete hearsay which
wouldn't hold water as evidence in a court of law.
 
If you now claim that assumption #1 is false despite all the evidence to
the contrary (e.g. weathering of the Grand Canyon, fossils confirming
evolution and evolutionary time scales) then you really are beyond help
as nothing can be done to mitigate such obtuse stupidity.

Do you believe you are in pursuit of truth, Leigh? You are not
listening to another who is teaching you there is an account which

You discount it summarily. Is that really a pursuit of truth?
 
All who seek the truth will find it. The rest will perish. You
are at the place of perishing right now, Leigh. If that means
anything to you ... pursue the truth.

Nor for yours. Rick is in my killfile, so it's entirely your fault that
I'm seeing his drivel. It's also entirely your fault that I'm seeing
/your/ drivel. David Brown is a valued contributor to comp.lang.c
whereas I don't recognise your name at all except in the context of
re-posting Rick's nonsense.

C++ is not topical in comp.lang.c to which this thread is cross-posted.

And thus you spread the shite around so that everyone gets a share, and
that's supposed to be intelligent behaviour, is it?

Is this an attempt to return to being on topic?

Equally, the newsgroup does not exist for /your/ egregious posts
encouraging the religious posts here. If /you/ stick to posts about C++
only, then I will be happy. I have no hope of stopping Rick from making
off-topic posts - but you claim to be rational and logical, and to be
interested only in C++ here. Please stop your hypocrisy and stop rising
to every off-topic post here. Your posts are as off-topic and
unpleasant as the ones you are responding to.

It might look like a troll but it was in fact an attempt to bypass your

You are off-topic here. The ISO C++ standard does not discuss "Linux".
Try asking in a Linux group. This is OS specific.
 
A good way to determine if you are on topic here is to ask yourself,
"If I changed the language, would it still be the same question?"
Or "If I changed the OS, would the question still be relevant?"
 
For the first, if the answer was yes, you would be off-topic.
For the second, if the answer was no, you would be off-topic.

So find the code that prints that message and fix it to
print the message to a file. It's either the program itself
or some library that the program is linking with (or the C++
runtime for e.g. uncaught C++ exceptions).
 
Generally, a daemon will either use the 'syslog' library function
or will print a message to stderr. In the latter case, one simply
needs to redirect stderr to a disk file, presumable one opened with
O_APPEND.
