Re: 100 Reasons Why Evolution Is So Stupid

By that logic no quotation from a peer reviled journal can be used as proof.

Our peer reviewed journals have been tested, tested and tested through experimentation and observations collecting data to analyse all over the place to come to our conclusion. We don't make the peer reviewed journals up - it's an evaluation of work with evidence of experimentation, observations and data to support its claim. Until the Bible is in the same or similar situation, it's a book people shouldn't trust.

Then you must be oblivious to bias in peer review: the often bandied processes to assess the epistemic and social legitimacy of the mechanisms of inquiry are subject to and influenced by publication, positive outcome, non-repetition and confirmation bias.

You would know that if you were being intellectually honest.

...The bible was never intended to be taken ad fact but figuratively...

How would one take 2 Chronicles 15:13, "That whosoever would not seek the Lord God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.", figuratively?

Anyways, 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:", 2 Peter 1:20 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.", and Revelation 22:18-19 "18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." add up to a fairly strong case against taking of the Holy Bible with a grain of Lot's wife.

There is no such thing as an unbiased opinion. However, science has mathematical and procedural conventions designed to minimize bias. Having gone through a few (from both sides), yes, but only in the sense that most such reviews are intended to confirm the views of the reviewers and how they see the background for the paper and the subject matter. In other words, most peer reviews don't handle out-of-the-standard-box material well. But they are great when the material and approach is standard.

Nice cherry picking. Everything during that time was written to be fact. These stories they told were told as truths. Religion was always meant to bring money to a community and to make people fearful to keep them in check. We are intelligent beings now... And because we know a lot of things aren't correct in the bible, we find ways to try to make them seem more correct. People are illogical and delusional. Because this is very much part of their lives, family, and culture, people feel as if they are loosing more than just their religion, but their way of life. The people who wrote it took it literally. Talking snakes, magic fruit, everything. The people who preach it today have to make it means something other than what the original writers made it mean so that people still believe it. But since nobody reads it anyways, they just take it all on blind faith.

Make up your mind, friend.

This is the problem when one tries to find wisdom outside the Truth(c), apart from the very author of wisdom (Proverbs 3:19) - they make stuff up as they go along.

I was talking about majority-minority. We are intelligent beings now because of science and the improving of technology, but there are illogical and delusional people out there still, for example, people on this forum.

This is the problem when one tries to find wisdom outside the Truth©,

Saying the Bible is truth without supportive evidence... Here we go again.

...make stuff up as they go along.

Thank you for explaining how Christians interpret the Bible.
