XD; You are using circular arguments in an attempt to prove your point, a point you can't prove anymore than I can unequivocally say how many animals were placed on Noah's ark.
Neither can you, but you choose to debate any estimated number. Where did all of the millions of species alive today come from? The ark or that other inconvenient fact, called evolution. I have this habit that annoys some people, I think, I reason, I question, and I form conclusions based on facts, and I find the willful ignorance of "the bible says so" to the ultimate practice of self-deprivation.
Yours is not an argument of fact, only your particular thoughts on the subject. You have nothing to base your ideas on other than speculation by yourself and others. Even the science you want to reference can not give us a definitive answer to all things, only educated guesses.
Whoa... fact is the basis for my points of view. All the species cannot fit on any single boat, nor would it be possible to even gather every species in one place at one time. I would have taken a year or better to travel to and back Australia and collect animals, yet they all showed up when it started raining.
The very last thing you have offered is fact, and the deeper you dig into the delusions of your bible, the further from fact you go. No argument science does not have all the answers, and may never, yet the science continues to fill in the gaps in knowledge everyday, religion merely says "I don't know, so goddunnit" and stubbornly remains stupid.
There is none alive who can emphatically say that what the Bible says is true.
You and several others here seem to have no problem saying that the entire bible is true... in fact you did recently in a post. Yet only about 30% of christians take it literally, and 10% of christians see it as a book of fables.
Religion has had a bloody history trough out the ages. There is no denying that and it continues today. If you will be totally honest with yourself, you can see how the fight against Christianity is increasing and is in tune with the Bible. Try as you may, you can not dispute that fact and can see how our country is running away from God and His precepts.
You say that like it was a bad thing. How great it would be if people actually discarded all the hate they use religion and the bible to justify. Where does the visceral hatred toward gays come from, religion. Where does racist hate come from, gender equality, hate for other religions, hate for those that don't believe.... yep, religion.
The laws our country has have been founded on Biblical principles. One can not deny the religious prohibitions of marriage or inter-marriage because science has proven the disastrous results of such unions. Other laws were followed and societies developed rather than being lawless and chaos reigning.Yes science has verified Biblical rules. Many laws of today are based on those same principles and have been followed for thousands of years. It is only when we started going against those rules that our nation started to fail and I don't doubt that that can be proved scientifically.
First, our founding document is counter to the biblical principles. "All men are created equal" is clearly not a biblical principle.
But as you point many laws have been enacted on biblical principles, by men who think like you do, only to be struck down because they are counter to the document that founded this country, the Constitution.
Exactly what are these disastrous results of unions, what unions, and exactly what is this "inter-marriage" you referenced. Did you mean inter
racial-marriage or what?
Our arguments/discussions can go on ad infinitum but neither of us will be satisfied with the other''s take. I prefer God and can never be persuaded that He does not exist. You prefer to take a secular stand and obviously can not change either. As I have said before, you and I are at an impasse. So, "Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?"
By the way, doesn't no gods realize that his ancestors probably participated in the eradication of the Indians?
Whether nogods does or not has no bearing on him, or this discussion. Nor do I buy into the bull **** that I was born with sin just because I was born. How effing stupid.... yet one of the teaching of christianity to manipulate people.
