Questions about Evidence

[Belk]

How effective was Jesus at testifying of His messiahship?

I don't know. How effective was he? If he was less effective then the bible is at testifying against evolution does that change the definition of "effective" somehow?

 

[AV1611VET]

Slightly less effective than Mohammed was at testifying of his ability to hear the words of Allah.

Notice I'm not responding to you?

I think it's harder to get away with playing connect-the-dots.

At least they have dots to connect.

My pastor thinks, as do I, that schools don't like the Bible because It is so effective in testifying against evolution.

What of all the Christians that do not think the bible testifies against the theory of evolution?

 

[AV1611VET]

What of all the Christians that do not think the bible testifies against the theory of evolution?

What about them?

If there were no Christians on earth, the Bible would still be eschewed in the schools for Its anti-evolution stance.

Since you don't have a response, that would make sense.

I find that doubtful since it is not currently eschewed in schools.

Except for all the Christian schools that teach evolution...

Ya ... and Madalyn O'hair was seen at a rest stop in Michigan, wasn't she?

 

[AV1611VET]

Except for all the Christian schools that teach evolution...

That'd be a little hard to do w/o Christians, dontcha think?

Yes, I phrased that poorly. I meant that the Bible certainly isn't being eschewed in Christian schools that teach evolution.

As long as It can be bent to fit the curriculum, I suppose so.

 

[Cearbhall]

It doesn't need to be bent at all. Theistic evolution is pretty simple. Christianity and science are perfectly compatible.

 

[AV1611VET]

Christianity and science are perfectly compatible.

Is that why you're a UU?

I see no problem with it being the subject of a comparative religions class. It's not a science book, after all.

 

[AV1611VET]

I see no problem with it being the subject of a comparative religions class.

O'hair evidently did.

 

[Davian]

O'hair evidently did.

She had problem with it being the subject of a comparative religions class?

 

[AV1611VET]

Beats me.

Somewhere along the line, schools began eschewing the Bible.

 

[Davian]

Beats me.

lol. You keep us in the lulz, as my children would say.

Somewhere along the line, schools began eschewing the Bible.

It would seem that you are equivocating the eschewing of the Bible with that of religion.

 

[AV1611VET]

It would seem that you are equivocating the eschewing of the Bible with that of religion.

Oh ... I think I can come up with a difference between the Bible and religion.

And I can use gravity as an example too!
