Did you see my story about the Leprechaun in the forest?
If so, you should understand where I'm coming from.
Jesus walked on water.
Investigate that.
It doesn’t contradict reality. It contradicts what you believe.When Genesis says that that the Earth was around before the sun was, that contradicts reality. When Genesis says that there were trees before animals, that contradicts reality. When Genesis says that Jacob's goats are born striped because their parents looked at striped poles when they mated, that contradicts reality.
Looks like you're SOL then (short on luck).No evidence exists to be investigated. There is no way to verify the story told in the Bible. A claim without supporting evidence can be discarded.
We have evidence. The gospel accounts attest to it.No evidence exists to be investigated. There is no way to verify the story told in the Bible. A claim without supporting evidence can be discarded.
It doesn’t depend on who you ask. The balls were on the table and there was a note. Is it possible that the note is true?
The Bible concludes that it’s a fact. My belief has nothing to do with it.

No, and neither did Jacob.So you are suggesting that if I have goats mate while looking at a striped post, then they'll have striped offspring as a result?
I’m not missing the point. I’m addressing your OP. Is it possible that the note was correct? Yes or no?You seem to be missing the point.
Völuspá in the Poetic Edda of Norse mythology describes the creation of the world. Is it possible that the Völuspá is wrong? Just saying that it's wrong because you believe something different isn't enough.
Outside of the Bible, which God gave us, you are correct.Of course it does! And the Koran concludes that the creation story in the Koran is a fact. Pick a holy text and that holy text will conclude that whatever creation story it contains is a fact. That doesn't make it a fact. Fictitious works are quite capable of doing the same thing. Even the Silmarillion does it!

It’s historical evidence. We use historical evidence to prove all sorts of things.That's the claim, not the evidence for the claim.
What you're doing is like me holding up a bunch of comic books as evidence for Batman.
Sure.Care to explain how that applies to our discussion?
The difference between a bacterium and a horse is a lot bigger than the difference between humans and the most recent common ancestor with chimps.
Also bear in mind that I've seen Muslims claim that there is evidence that the Koran is divinely inspired as well, so the Bible is hardly unique in that regard.
Yes, your unsupported claims about some unnamed person changing their mind are certainly more than enough evidence for me to conclude that all of science is wrong!
