Bible vs. Science

How can any reasonable person take a fairytale that seriously????

I suspect the answer has to do with the words, "reasonable person."

Frank, you know I think the world of ya buddy,

My intention is to first understand what the 'tale', as you call it, is really saying first. To keep an objective mind through the process is only reasonable. I will 'after' finding the holy Bible's true meaning, then and only then will I make an informed and well educated decision as to if it is true or a fairy tale.

You demonstrate you have not yet fully understood the tale so that would not quite qualify you as an expert. Some of your abstract judgments concerning this book are not even founded within the books actual intent I think. A fresh new look at the book is in order Frank.

One must know what the book really says and means if they wish to truly contrast it.

You've lost your power to reason, Rex.

Honestly!

Whether it is fear of the god, as I suppose it to be, or some other pressure...you have lost your power to reason.

I understand the Bible better than you do. I am more objective about the book than you are...despite that you feel the reality is other than that. In fact, it is obvious that several of us here do.

A "fresh new look at the book" is indeed in order, Rex.

Do it!

For your own good...for the sake of your mental health...

...do it.

You are living proof that lack of holy spirit fosters a lack of civilized manners.

2Ti 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Comment:
So you can't have a sound mind Frank if you do not receive the spirit of God.

The Bible specifically states that sin is in the blood.... . .

Quote:

Your generalization of Atheists, Agnostics, Buddhists, Pagans, and people of other religious beliefs being without manners is absurd and is itself without manners.

Evangelist arrested on federal charges

A Pensacola evangelist who owns the defunct Dinosaur Adventure Land in Pensacola was arrested Thursday on 58 federal charges, including failing to pay $473,818 in employee-related taxes and making threats against investigators ...


... Judge Davis released the Hovinds from custody pending their trial, which will be scheduled during their arraignment at 2 p.m. Monday.

Over Kent Hovind's protests, the judge took away his passport and guns Hovind claimed belonged to his church.

Hovind argued that he needs his passport to continue his evangelism work. He said "thousands and thousands" are waiting to hear him preach in South Africa next month.

But Davis agreed with Assistant U.S. Attorney Michelle Heldmyer, who argued that "like-minded people" might secret Hovind away if he left the country.

As for the guns, Davis said "ownership was not the issue."

Kent Hovind also has had run-ins with state authorities.

In April, Circuit Judge Michael Allen ordered the buildings at Dinosaur Adventure Land closed because Hovind failed to obtain a building permit during the 2002 construction. The outdoor theme park was allowed to stay open.

Members of Creation Science Evangelism said at the time that building permits violated their "deeply held" religious beliefs.

While the building permit case was tied up in a four-year court battle, ownership of the theme park was turned over to Glen Stoll, who works with Hovind on legal issues and is based in Washington.

Last year, the U.S. attorney in Seattle filed a lawsuit against Stoll, charging him with encouraging people to avoid tax payments by claiming to be religious entities, according to news reports.

............ the writings of the early Church Fathers are not independent of scripture, they derive directly from, are wholly dependent upon, and claim authority through scripture.

I guess then that everyone who quotes Shakespeare, IS Shakespeare.

Keep it up timber. Priceless entertainment.

Timber, you don't find it remarkable that a religious belief founded only on smoke and mirrors has persisted so vigorously until this day?

Certainly it could not have been for the economic, political or military power of its 1st century adherents. And surely it can't be through the adulterations of the word which have slithered through Christendom for 1900 + years.

Gotta be something else.
