I see that you are getting in touch with your spiritual side. What a lonely road enlightenment must be for you. Off you go.
I have no idea what you are talking about. First you say you have better things to do, then you are unable to stop yourself from posting.
Try and keep up. I have better things to do than argue a point about religious belief that you have obfuscated out of proportion and beyond all recognition. Putting you in your place, however, is another matter. (Oh, was that you being intentionally obtuse again? It's getting hard to tell.)
But isn't archeology a science? What about examining the interal logical consistency? The question was about the bible I thought? Maybe I misread. But I thought the question was, " can you scientifically prove the bible isn't true." I just picked two things that disprove it. There's a few more scientific disciplines that can address other concepts in the bible.
That's possible. But since the thread was titled "is bible inerrant" I'm thinking that it had gone without saying that the bible's god is god we're refering to. If that is the case then given all the other problems with bible, we can rule that God out. In fact, all established religions past and present and their creation stories can pretty much be ruled out. I guess we can create a new definition for a god that could be said to be responsible for the creation of the universe. Assuming that there is a need for a first cause to existence as we understand it.
It might be a good idea to have a new thread of "The definition of God, or what is God". It might turn out that someone will consider natural evolution/randomness is a god.
Hans: > ... but there are no explanations for the existence >of the Universe that make any more sense >than the God explanation. You keep saying versions of the above, but just so you know -- that's just an opinion, and an opinion that is not universally shared. JB
zTroll: >If I say "don't think about the elephant in the >room" what is your first thought? Hell, it's the same first thought no matter what you say -- "Troll Alert -- engage for the purposes of entertainment only". JB
Stating the obvious of course when it comes to explanations apart from the God explanation: ...those non God explanations are just an opinion, and an opinion that is not universally shared. Just so you know...
