The so called science of the past is chock full of speculation.If "first cause" is even anything besides philosophical
speculation, which, for all that science is decided for
what may be fancied as speculation, the whole concept of
"God" is the speculation of all time.
So your "god-fact" is just a god-of-the-gaps argument. Noted.There's everything instead of nothing. Science doesn't know why.
It depends on who's doing the grading, doesn't it?Christians do here a very poor job at representing christianity.
Until the facts are found to be, in fact, mistakes. Then they have to come up with new " facts"
So, there are no facts in reality.
It's not the gaps. It's literally everything that exists.So your "god-fact" is just a god-of-the-gaps argument. Noted.
Christians do here a very poor job at representing christianity. First a childish "no true Scotsman fallacy" and now god-of-the-gaps.
Sigh. I'll still stay atheist for a while.
Every defunct evolution theory.A scientist will say, "it's a fact that this is my data".
As for data changing, we'll sure, mistakes are made.
However, it's a deep mjscgaracterization to say all facts are mistakes
and will change.
The data that inddicate that, say, Boyles law
is sound is daily demonstrated billions of times
by practical people such as yourself.
If exceptions, failures to hold true began
showing up, everything would spin out of control
in short order.
The same holds true for pretty much any
physical law or theory.
You are of course invited to submit an actual
example of your claim.
The only grading that counts is whether people are moving toward or away from christianity under influence of the chritians's posts here. And there the grade is fail.It depends on who's doing the grading, doesn't it?
Who moved away from Christianity when Jesus and Paul walked the earth?The only grading that counts is whether people are moving toward or away from christianity under influence of the chritians's posts here. And there the grade is fail.

And how "weird n wacky" did you think it was when this oddball asked his antagonists where they thought the water went, and either didn't get an answer, or was told there was no flood?I had no idea how weird n wacky some "christian"
beliefs are until I started hearing such things as how the excess water from the "flood was wafted to, Neptune.
Whatever the answer to that question is, it is irrelevant for today. Neither Jesus nor Paul are walking the earth today. You, on the contrary are posting here, and your postings (and that of your fellow christians) do influence anyone who reads this. So it's your posting behaviour that you have to contemplate. The fact that you come up with an nonsensical response as the one above shows (once more) that you are unable to reflect on your own behaviour.Who moved away from Christianity when Jesus and Paul walked the earth?
i want to point out that that kind of behaviour pushes people away from christianity. You don't need to admit. Just need to think about it.
Well, you're entitled to your opinion; that's for sure.Whatever the answer to that question is, it is irrelevant for today. Neither Jesus nor Paul are walking the earth today.

Timothy was talking about faith in Christ, not faith in the magical properties of an ancient Hebrew creation story.Well, you're entitled to your opinion; that's for sure.
I'd hate to think I (or we) have made the faith:
1 Timothy 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
Timothy was talking about faith in Christ, not faith in the magical properties of an ancient Hebrew creation story.
Speculation is pre-science. It becomes science with testable hypothesis that can be supported or falsified.The so called science of the past is chock full of speculation.
It was a textbook "no true scotsman".That "No True Scotsman Fallacy" accusation was pulled out of thin air, in my opinion, just to handwave away my points; and, frankly, didn't set well with me.
The accusation didn't even "fit the crime."
The fact is, I am not obligated to accept Charlemagne as a brother in Christ; and if that means I'm appealing to the No True Scotsman Fallacy, then someone's grabbing at straws to disagree with me.
