So you question your own claims according to the same methodology you apply on everybody else.
Yes, I am serious. You judge people according to the following standard, namely that they must question everything they believe, hold as true/a fact and so on.
So now I am going to question that - have you ever questioned your claim that all people must question everything they believe in? How do you know that it is fact of how the universe works or could it be a subjective and personal belief and thus not a scientific fact?
In other words, you must answer according to your own universal standard; i.e. everybody must question all beliefs; whether everybody must question all beliefs, is a belief itself or a scientific fact?
Have you ever thought about that or has it never occurred to you to question that?
Remember this is a site for skeptics.
Why? Because you say so? You, who are very explicitly not an authority on these things? Don't you think an actual authority on a subject is better placed to determine what is and is not worth thinking about than someone who isn't an authority?
I will grant that that is a reasonable distinction. But I still don't think that you ought to be the one telling an acknowledged expert what aspects of his subject are or are not worth thinking about. Did it ever occur to you that he might have thought about it for just long enough to have dismissed it as beneath consideration and because of this, he no longer thinks about it?
Are you seriously denying the existence of Bible experts?
That you disagree with them does not mean that they aren't experts. And, remember, we are talking specifically about interpretation of the Bible.
The one who was called as a witness in the specific incident that we are talking about.
Not according to what I remember from my Christian upbringing. Archangels like Lucifer and Gabriel are superior to ordinary angels, and there are different orders of angels e.g seraphim and cherubim.
