Merged (edited) General thoughts about Christianity and the bible

To add to that, I would add that Christians too are sceptical about a LOT of other theistic claims. I could go to one and profess my faith in Odin. I could say that even the fact that they are unconscious is evidence of the Norse creation myth. I could even make a case about how the Norse creation myths uncannily match the big bang. (Which is true.) I could even make a case that the prophesied Ragnarök eerily matches what science says will happen to earth in a billion years. (Which is also true... interpreting it as an extended metaphor juust right.) But most of them would not go have faith in it just because I said so.

Well, to quote Dawkins loosely from memory, I put to you that the only difference between us is that I believe in one less god :P

(And yes, I stand by both of those interpretations of the Norse myths. The former is in fact quite trivial. And I've posted about both before. But anyone can feel free to ask me about it in a different thread.)

The fact that you took it the wrong way is what a dozen people have been trying to tell you for a dozen or more pages. That fact that it took you this long to see what everyone else has been seeing all along is exactly why the saw doesn't cut both ways.

That they only looked at the site speaks more to their determination to be overly thorough, as as been said many, many times already that the supposed global flood is physically impossible from the jump. It is literally impossible for a flood like the bible described happened.

The analogy of dental care would work here.
Which dentist would you trust?
1) The whole asked you to open your mouth, took a look around and said you were fine. Or...
2) The dentist that took x-rays and gave you a thorough exam?

I'd trust either more than the one who just prayed to god for healthy teeth.

And of course the idea that the "Ark" hasn't been examined closely by people who know what they're talking about is a lie, when the site was first discovered the Archeological Research Foundation sent an expedition that dug the site and found no traces of human activity there and that it's a natural formation of limonite.

Archaeology is not analogous to dentistry.
