A Book?

[Tiberius]

I don't entertain such an idea.

Yes you do. You can go through the Bible claiming "this is clearly an allegory" and "this is clearly the truth". However what you think of as allegories were once thought of as truth, and as time goes on what you think of as "truth" will be cast aside as an allegory by future generations. That is God of the gaps at work. As long as God isn't disproved, everything that is claimed of him can simply be tossed aside to the allegory pile.

Let me work that out as well...

People, A, observed X
Science, B, claimed Y
Some people, C, lost their way and thought X = Y
People still observed X, and also observed Y
Group C fought over X = Y
Groups A & B lived in peace observing X & Y

You Adrian, along with Creationist nut jobs, are in group C. How does that make you feel?

Hang on, you just said that group C was the place where people thought the observations matched the scientific explanation (X = Y), and you lump creationists in that group? Tell me, exactly what scientific explanation backs up creationism?

Or have you got this entire thing backwards. Perhaps we should give examples and not use logic notation anymore
