    Taking Questions on Embedded Age Creation

    Everything else is up for debate? So the Bible can't be taken to be 100% accurate then, since by this admission it must make some claims that are not absolutely correct? And who is it who can proclaim what the proper use is? What's the difference between something that is subjective and...

    Why would they do that if they have the inspired word of God telling them what is important? Why would the Almighty's plan be susceptible to such tactics? Of course, you know what's really essential and non-essential, I'm sure! Ah, so you agree that religion has been co-opted by politicians...

    Then why are there so many different denominations of Christianity?

    I presented them as being things that different religions can point to and say, "See this thing here? It proves <<insert religion here>> is correct!" You think getting the right message from the Bible is secondary? If you're allowed generous quantities of handwavium, sure. Okay, buh bye!

    It's what you seem to do with it. I see you only quoted HALF of Genesis 1:27. Why is that, AV? Is it because the next part specified that God was created both male AND female at the same time? Why are you cherry picking, AV? Why do you have to leave some parts out? Is it because they don't...

    So you can just make up whatever you want. Yup. Please, quote the specific Bible passage that establishes the framework narrative in Genesis. Yes. A contradiction is two statements where one or the other can be true, but not both. "Kylie lives in Australia." "Kylie lives in the Northern...

    Hey, Atheists...

    I'm sorry, were you just not paying attention to the evidence I provided that behaviours have a strong genetic component? The fact that you don't understand how 1. morality comes from behaviours that are advantageous to a social species and 2. that behaviours are an inheritable trait does not...

    All relikgions point to some real world event as evidence that they are the One True Faith (tm). A literal interpretation of the Bible leads to countless contradictions. Sure it does. No naturalistic account? I gave you an explanation for it that requires no supernatural events at all...

    Yes I do. And there's nothing in either Gen 1 or 2 to suggest that it was being used. If you read either one by itself, you will never get the idea that there was a framing narrative. The only reason you are invoking it seems to be because that's the only way you can get the two different...

    So the law didn't apply in Judah's time (Old Testament). And it didn't apply in the New Testament because Jesus died for us. Guess you're just picking and choosing when you want things to be valid or not, huh?

    Yes I did. And I noticed that you shuffled things around from the order they appeared in the Bible. Why did you do that, AV?

    All of them present claims which allegedly prove that their religion must be the correct one. Which conveniently let's you interpret it in whatever way you want. This does not answer my question. Ah, so now you can't answer it so you claim it isn't important. Then perhaps you need to make...

    My understanding is that the lineages were claimed to be one through Mary and one through Joseph precisely because they don't match. And the genealogy in Luke does not go through Mary, Luke 3:23 very clearly goes through Joseph, not Mary. In any case, Luke 3:23 claims that Jesus' paternal...

    Hey, Atheists...

    And you were wrong. Evolution has a huge amount of supporting evidence and I explained how it can account for moral behaviours. That's not what I meant and you know it. I honestly don't care if you find my arguments compelling, because your opinion means very little to me. As to whether...

    Hey, Atheists...

    No. I am saying that there is a perfectly plausible explanation for morality that does not require any deity-given morality at all. To assume that some deity gave us morality is therefore an unwarranted assumption. It's called Occam's razor. Don't introduce an explanatory concept if it is not...

    Doesn't change the fact that the animals were made BEFORE in Genesis 1 and AFTER in Genesis 2. REALLY? Please, share this source with me. There are plenty of contradictions.

    Here's a source that claims to present scientific truths from the Koran to show that Islam is the one true religion: https://www.kalamullah.com/Books/Scientific%20Truths%20in%20The%20Quran.pdf Here's a source that does the same for the Vedas: The Advanced Scientific Knowledge in Ancient Indian...

    Yeah, repeating them isn't going to work. Genesis 1 says that water animals and birds were created on the fifth day Gen 1:20), and land animals were created on the sixth day (Gen 1:24). And after the animals were created, God made Adam and Eve together (Gen 1:27). Genesis 2 says that God...

    There are two creation accounts in the Bible, and not only do they contradict with science, they contradict themselves. So you'll need to do more than claim there is no contradiction for me to believe you.

    Wait, hold on... Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that only Christianity has things that it can point to and say, "See this thing here? It proves Chrsitianity is correct!" Do you really believe that no other religion has this? REALLY? But when the truth of that book is the only way to make a...
