Conflicting statements in the bible

[Baalzebutt]

Again you seem to be missing the point of this thread. A contradiction cannot exist if there is any possible way to resolve it, if there are multiple ways to resolve it, it doesn’t matter which one is correct it refutes the existence of a contradiction.

I know you made a lot of points here but I have to jump on this one.

What you are basically saying is that if I can provide an alternate explaination the makes it seem as if there is no contradiction, then there is no contradiction even if the scenarios I offer are complete bullshit.

Lets look at it from a theist point of view: If two science labs take pieces of exactly the same rock to date them and one lab says "This rock is 1 million years old" and the other says "This rock is 1 billion years old", there is a contradiction (which you, as a theist, would be quick to point out).

I come up to you and say, "No, there is no contradiction here. You see, aliens came down and they used a special mixture of chemical that is lightyears beyond our current technology to make one of the pieces of rock actually seem much older than it really is."

In this scenario, I sincerely doubt you would say, "Oh, I see." and walk away, satisfied that there really was no conflict.

See, you cant get around conflicts by making shit up. I can offer a scenario for any conflict you can come up with. That doesn't mean those conflicts don't still exist.
