Simple challenge. How would you disprove this happened?
The Sumerian goddess Inanna travels to the Underworld to see her sister Ereshkigal. While there, she is "struck down" and turns into a corpse. For three days and three nights, Inanna is dead, until she is resurrected with the help of her father, Enki, who sends the two galla to bring her back.
This story is from about 4000 bce – 3100 bce. There were many temples created in her honor.
Why is this not true?

Because it is physiologically impossible for a human being, once genuinely dead, to become a living human being again. Very simple and straightforward answer here in the Science and Religion section. The question may get more play in other forum sections though, where scientific viability and adherence to known physics, chemistry, biology, etc. can be subordinate to arguments based on philosophy and existence of the supernatural.Why is this not true?
In human affairs the sources of success are ever to be found in the fountains of quick resolve and swift stroke; and it seems to be a law, inflexible and inexorable, that he who will not risk cannot win.

Re: Prove Inanna didn't resurrect
Post #3That is the correct answer. I think we will get 100% of people agree that Inanna didn't resurrect, despite stories saying she did; despite the many temples built in her honor, despite her religion last thousands of years, despite all the reasons people give for Jesus - somehow, Inanna is a Myth.DrNoGods wrote: ↑Sun Jun 04, 2023 11:28 pm [Replying to boatsnguitars in post #1]

I think it's because she's a woman, or brown skinned, and Christians only believe White Men can resurrect (
)(Yes, most Christians think Jesus was a White man).

You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.
