Maybe in your version of 1491; but certainly not God's.

This post only exists so that certain people will directly challenge it in ways that violate site rules about attacking the bible or christianity. Knock it off.

Those "minor changes" sparked a fury of complaint that went to the halls of government in three states (California, New Mexico, and Illinois?), and even gave us the word of the year for 2006.
So what? Did it really change anything? Pluto is still there, it is still a planetary body. Its size did not change, its orbit did not change. There was only a slight clarification in its classification.

Thanks for saying that I was right and admitting that you were wrong again!

Bible literalists have to deny all sciences.
What they do is use the benefits of science while rejecting it. There is a term for that.
"Prioritizing"?

No, but the people that were there left records.
Like the [faulty] Aricebo message we sent to M13, so as to alert them of what our technology can do?

It's a little late for that, isn't it?

The Bible and Christianity is already under fire here.

There are numerous reasons for the bungled U.S. response to the pandemic, but the U.S. holds a lot of the blame. When compared to most other Western countries, the U.S. is doing far worse. That's not on China; that's on the U.S.

Bible literalists have to deny all sciences. What they do is use the benefits of science while rejecting it. There is a term for that.
And no, China did not create coronavirus in a lab. Its origin was natural. It was found by using science:

Did coronavirus come from a lab?
I guess there's political denial here too.

1. Not every christian interprets the bible in a fashion that requires the version of near-east history that yours does. Some accept the inputs of scholarly investigation of the artifacts of past civilizations.

2. The C/E sub-forum is definitely a place where that conflict is heightened and *permitted* within certain limitations. Most of us try to stay within those bounds and accept correction when they are breached.

3. You are an arsonist in a match factory.

Only if you are talking about yourself. You probably do not realize that other countries did not take China at its word and analyzed the virus itself to see where it came from. It did not come from a Chinese lab. Do you have any source that is not a wacko conspiracy source that says that the Chinese made it in a lab?

It's history is intact.

The history we gave him has mistakes in it.
Amazing. You are still insisting what we knew all along. That you are wrong.

Do you not understand that dredging up arguments that you lost a thousand times over (and sadly I am not exaggerating here) is you just admitting that you are wrong all over again? You should really try to find some new material.

Neither the Bible nor Christianity are "under fire" here. Your interpretation of scripture is being dismissed as unfounded, that's all.

It existed in animals first and a variation was able to cross over to humans. That is what the evidence tells us. You should have read the article. No need for a lab. This happens quite often. Some viruses do this regularly. The flu for example, it goes through different animal species and comes back every year changed a bit as a result. That is why we keep getting the flu.

Well, I tried to read it, but asked for me to allow cookies or some such thing that I usually decline. That's the 'how,' I asked for the 'where.'

Care to tell us which one, and quote the verse that placed them off-limits to human consumption, to the ridicule of academia?
