So you didn’t watch the video, then.I got three words for you: context context & context. You can not takes things OUT of CONTEXT. They will lose their meaning because they become no longer relevant. This is a BIG BIG BIG issue in archaeology. Everything has to be documents and you have to know the sequence.
This makes your video very, very, very unscientific because when you lose context you lose relevance and meaning. You can butcher the evidence if you want but it's unscientific and it does not accomplish anything.
I am trying to get people to learn how to think for themselves.
WOW REALLY??????????????????????? I can NOTSays the guy who simply goes with whatever his religious book says.
I watched enough to make a comment which is more than anyone else did.So you didn’t watch the video, then.
WOW REALLY??????????????????????? I can NOT
BELIEVE you said that. I have offered you tons and tons and tons of scientific evidence to substantiate just how accurate and true the Bible is and you JUST ADMITTED that you disregarded and ignored every bit of that information that I provided for you.
I mean I know that you people were not reading those long posts and making any effort at all to examine the evidence. I just did not ever think that you would admit to that.
The fact remains that you are going to filter out all the relevant, abundant and overwhelming evidence that goes against what you want to believe.
But you can be sure the day will come when you will be held accountable
. The Bible clearly says: "no one will be justified in His sight". Romans 3:20 "every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God." You can ignore all you want to ignore and filter out all you want to filter but in the end none of that will do you any good
Instead you should take a good heard look at the evidence I am giving or at least read it instead of skimming over it and totally disregarding it.
I have no control over science and I have no control over the Bible. I have to go where the evidence leads me. God gave us the Bible and God is giving us Science or at least the evidence that we base Science on. Actually God gives us wisdom, knowledge and understanding. He gives us the ability to understand the universe and how He created the universe. In some ways He puts the ability in us to be able to create. For example in the building of the Temple the Bible talks about craftsman and I am a craftsman. There are people that work in wood or stone or metal. God gives them the ability. Exodus 31:3 " I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills--"Correction: you misrepresent science and happily pick and choose those things you can forcefit in whatever you believe the bible is saying.
You have not shown that. Present your evidence. The only thing science can do is show that Noah's flood was not a world wide flood. So we have to correct our understanding of the Bible based on what we know from science. You can quote the skeptics Bible if you want. All you are going to do is demonstrate to us what a reprobate mind is and what faulty thinking is all about. We have had conversations about Steve Wells before and his faulty logic and defective reasoning. Just like we have had conversations about Hawkins and his defunct version of evolutionary theory.No, that's what YOU do. Just about every time you claim that "true science proves the bible". Because it doesn't. Not even by a long shot.
Or else what? You testify against yourself. I am an annihilationist and you are an annihilationist. Unless you think you are going to live forever. I just agree with what you claim that at some point in time everything you are and everything you represent is going to turn back into dust.yes, yes... "believe me, or else!!!!"
Plenty of people have been showing you that, every time you create threads like the flood thread.You have not shown that.
We welcome true science and their evidence to help us better understand our Bible.
Or else what?

Do you disagree with Solomon when he says: Ecc 1:2 "Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity." Because I hear you preach that sermon all of the time.
"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless."
"Utterly pointless," says the Teacher. "Absolutely pointless; everything is pointless."

Hello dogma.
You seem to have an answer. What should we go by my dear?
Cheers
At that point, the only rational thing to do is simply acknowledge that ignorance by saying "we don't know".
I'ld say that, in context of claims, "true" means: that which reflects objective reality.
Thank you for this reply and the other. They seem relatable so lets continue here.
In view of this evidence of reality. Is your position agnostic or uncertainty?
Does this mean thoughts and reasoning with facts that are observed?
What can you offer me?
I'll just say that I don't deal in "certainties"
What is currently unknown, isn't necessarily unknowable.
"True is that which reflects reality"
Seems pretty straightforward...
Can you reformulate your question? And perhaps provide a bit of context or something?
I do not use my words. I use the word of God, the Bible. God is more than willing to stand behind HIS word to perform and to do what HE says He is going to do. We have a Covenant relationship with God. IF we do our part of the Covenant then we can be 100% assured that God will for-fill and perform His part of the Covenant that He offers us. This is why people have what they call pocket promise books that are filled with promises from God.Or..."you will be held accountable" - your own words.
I can answer that question. Apart from God people have what they call the placebo effect, the power of suggestion and the power of positive thinking. There are motivational experts that are often popular with sports and business to hype people up to get them out to do their job. This is why we have controlled studies and what is real has to go beyond the effect you get with a placebo. Although modern science tends to use the old treatment plan and the new proposed treatment. The study has to show that their new and improved treatment plan is better then the old plan and what they were doing to deal with the issue or the problem.What would you offer me as a substitute for faith in God? God has an offer. Salvation, after life insurance - What would you offer me? What belief system should i follow?
By all means produce your evidence, show us what you have.The evidence of reality.

Also God provides for us HUGE amounts of Scientific Evidence to show us how accurate and true the Bible is. People can ignore that evidence if they want to deny what God give us. But in the end they will still be held accountable for what they know to be true. The prisons are filled with people that thought they were going to get away with something and it turns out they do not get away with anything at all. After WW2 the Nazi would hide hoping they could get away with their war crimes. But they hunted them down and held them to be responsible for their crimes and they did not get away with anything at all.
