Absurdities in Religous texts

We are children compared to God. Moses understanding of the creation of the universe was childlike compared to ours.

"In the beginning God created the heavens". The part of the heavens which we see as the sun and the stars were not seen from the earth until the earth was created, however.

Also, how long was that part of the creation that God calls "the beginning"?

I believe that is when the sun and the moon were able to be seen through the cloud cover as seen from the perspective of the writer who was viewing this from the earth.

Again, the sun and the moon existed from before day 1 since 'in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" but were not visable to those on the Earth until day 4 as described in the above passages.

It was Gods revelation written from a human perspective.

If by "human perspective" you mean "utterly wrong".

Also on what basis do you assume the bible writers had divine revelation?

2 Timothy 3:16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,

"The bible is divinely inspired because the bible says it's divinely inspired", is horrendous reasoning. I shouldn't even have to explain why.

No one said evolution or science for that matter is infallible, and science never claims to be always correct.

But if you believe something because it says it is always correct, then you are a gullible fool beyond all measure.

Cool... Exchange "evolution" for "Bible" and 'science' for "God" and from the viewpoint of a person of a different faith perspective, it also works.... :p

Of course the evolutionist will proudly point out that not all evolutionary beliefs come from the same source and that they build on and support each other from independent sources while refusing to acknowledge the same about the multiple human hands from independent sources that went into the writing of scripture over many, many generations.

The evolutionist will point out that all of the writers had a connected belief structure thus supporting the claim to circular logic while continuing to proudly point out that all real scientists 'know" evolution to be real.

Go figure.

If that is the only reason... agreed.

I never said it was inerrant.

Then what is the point of quoting passages from the bible?

I believe that in its original form that it is God breathed and may well be inerrant in its original form. We do not have the original autographs though. Thus, there is room for translational errors, at the very least.

Having said that, it is very, very accurate and I do not believe that God would allow significant degredation to his message that would significantly change his message.

Short of proof or at least very strong evidence that a particular text is mistranslated, added later, etc., I will believe what scripture has to say before other sources.

Do you have the confidence to debate/discuss with me the so-called 'Absurdities' in the Noble Quran as stated in this deceiving website -you posted ?

I will just show you an example of the pathetic silly deceptions that website wants you to believe by quoting what they claim to be an absurdity in the Quran:

From your website:


Let us now see what the true verse (2:13) really says:

[13] And when it is said to them (hypocrites): "Believe as the people (followers of Muhammad (peace be upon him)) have believed," they say: "Shall we believe as the fools have believed?" Verily, they are the fools, but they know not.

Now, I leave it to you and to all the honest readers to compare what the true verse says and what the deceiving website tries to let you believe!

Appeal to authority, arugment from intimidation, ad hominem, false dilemma, strawman, shall I go on? It concerns many religious people that their philosophic arguments are regarded as the ravings of madmen. Well, as they say: if it waddles like a duck...
