Everything appears to follow rationally from there. That is the trap of confirmation bias.

Everything appears to follow rationally from there. That is the trap of confirmation bias.I'm quite serious about this. If you decide God meant all the words of the Bible to be interpreted literally, then everything else follows rationally from there, no matter how much the results contradict apparent reality.

You can do this with any book, if you decide to.

appears ... rationally
You think miracles should be verifiable 2500 years after the fact?
Wait until you see these:
Angiosperms before the sun, and angiosperms before insects!
How are those for funny?
NO. I think miracles neednt be verified. If a miracle happened to you,you should tell it to others. You shouldnt verify it even when others don't believe it.
Would you like to read the personal testimonies of people who have experienced miracles? You don't need a 2,000 year old book. You need look no further than this forum.
Miracles, it seems, are not particularly rare. They are difficult to prove because they don't leave physical evidence. That doesn't make them any less real.
For some reason atheists seem to wear their disbelief as a crown of enlightenment. David called them fools in Psalms 14:1. They live in a world surrounded by evidence of God's majesty and yet they refuse to see it. Denying God doesn't make Him less real any more than closing your eyes makes it nighttime. You are surrounded by people who have seen to them proof of what you deny. When you continue to deny the God that we know, it makes you seem as foolish as someone who doesn't believe in oceans because he's never seen one personally.
Read the personal testimonies.... if you dare.
1. These people are members here.
2. These are personal and eyewitness accounts.
3. A true scientist explores. A coward hides from the truth.
It's not funny to me.
What difference does it make how much evidence is behind an idea before it becomes a theory?
How much evidence is behind the moon's Capture Theory?
A theory is a theory.
And for the record, and not to sound like a broken one, but Aristotle stunted the growth of science for almost 2000 years with his theory about earth, air, fire and water.
Let's not.You don't? I think any claim of the supernatural variety should be verified. How about verifying one of the miracles that people claim happened this year, or last year? Let's start with the verification of one miracle, and then we can talk about 2500 years ago...
Let's not.
Jesus spoke of your kind ...
Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
... and I'm not going to waste my time.
1 comes before 2 -- how much more information do you need?The only funny thing I see is your failure to give more informatin about whales existing before land animals.
Once your newbieness wears off, you'll see that the favorite game of choice around here is Arab phone (Chinese whispers, the Telephone game).Did you play hockey?
Because you sure are good at deflecting...
1 comes before 2 -- how much more information do you need?
I comes before E (except after C) -- what letter don't you understand?
2008 comes before 2013, chief.
Whales came before land animals in Genesis 1.
What information are you lacking?

Get ready to play it, if you're planning to be here any length of time.
... Flattery will get you nowhere.
I don't believe evolution is a perfect theory, yet I recognize that some parts of it are true and can exist alongside creation. Because of this, I believe in theistic evolution.

That's your frewill to believe that if you want to; but whether you think It's true or not, I don't think you can deny It documents whales before land animals.The Bible need not be true. It is unlikely and unproven that a deity, of Christianity or otherwise, exists.

You can deny it in reality, but denying the Bible says it is another thing.
As I'm fond of pointing out -- people can claim anything they want about the Bible, but they can't deny It says what It says.
I can deny Humpty Dumpty ever existed, but I can't deny that Samuel Arnold's documentation says he sat on a wall and had a great fall.
