[QUOTE="oi_antz, post: 60361988, member: 261524"] Me too! I suspect this is something not many people really consider, but it is something everyone will immediately get defensive about. It is good that you've asked this, I hope you get good mileage from this thread. Faith. Even scientists use it. I assume you are referencing faith in biblical accounts. Besides that personal experiences with regards to the bible have proven Gods power to me, it makes perfect logical sense that the authors are being honest and recording events to the best of their knowledge. If someone believes they will answer to God for their actions in life, why would they go and lie about Him? Of course there have been more than a few wolves in sheeps clothing that have deceived the weak, but they are still wolves. There is nothing in the bible which indicates that the authors are wolves in sheeps clothing. Let me ask you in return, how do you decide that the facts in the bible are fictitious? How does a scientist know that God didn't create the universe to appear old? Is evolutionary theory truth, belief or opinion? Does it even matter since it is a reliable means to an end? When the bible gives a very clear and specific account of genealogy from one ancestor to a descendant, it is quite obvious that it intends to be a specific account of genealogy. So to say that the biblical account is not meant to be read the way it is written is either heresy, or a convenient excuse for those who don't want to believe it. I'd like to hear what other non-Christian minds think about this too, including yourself. Perhaps you should ask a moderator to move it to the CWR forum. [/QUOTE]
