If DNA forensic evidence is not valid, why are they being exonerated?
In post 505 I said, "Forensic evidence is really only useful for demonstrating what did NOT happen."

And your refutation to that is: Why are criminals being exonerated now that DNA evidence has shown that what the prosecution claimed happened really did NOT happen?

First understand the argument. Then respond to it.

No, forensic evidence is extremely useful for convicting people too. There was a murder case in my area where due to improvements in DNA technology a man was put away ten years after he killed a woman. He was a suspect at the time of the murder but due to a lack of evidence he was not charged. People are not just exonerated with forensic evidence.

What are you saying though?
Do you believe in God? I do.
If you are trying to say God doesn't exist, you have already cut me off. In that case, I have no need or want to discuss with you, ever.

There is a Christians Only section to this forum. It sounds like you'd be more suited over there. In this section, believers and non-believers have conversations and discussions with each other.

But he is right about one thing. Forensic evidence tells us that the Flood never happened.

Is that all you have? A book filled with bad science, bad morals and hundreds of contradictions?
What's the difference between the two statements below?

A) The Bible is evidence of God.
B) The Bible is used as evidence of God.

The first one is nonsense and the second explains the errors of people that do not understand the nature of evidence.

So if I merely say that some people USE the Bible as evidence for God, why do you snap back:

"Is that all you have?"

Am I "some people"?

Please, please, PLEASE try to understand the argument before you respond. Here's a redirect:

It was claimed that forensic evidence is used as evidence of a crime. I responded by saying that the Bible is used as evidence of God. The point of the argument is that just because something is used as evidence does not mean that the evidence is good or valid. It is not an argument that God exists, that I believe in God, or that the Bible is good evidence of God's existence.

So please... stop with the knee-jerk I-hate-Bible-thumpers posts.

You were the one that made the faulty claim of "The Bible is used as evidence for God". Your post indicates that you do not understand the nature of evidence. Don't play silly games and complain when people show how your post was silly.

The Bible is used as evidence for God.
Do you deny this?

The Bible consists of two testaments (wills).

I would assume if their wills were locked up in probate like they lock God's up with their science, their next of kins would be having a cow.

If stories written in books are evidence of the character's existence, then Harry Potter is a real wizard.
Where did you learn about George Washington?

From his horse?

Did George Washington really chop down a cherry tree?

Was Abraham Lincoln really a vampire slayer?
George who?

Abraham who?

Where did you hear of those guys?
