After all, if I was to ask a question about astronomy it would be foolish of me to go to a desert in the middle east, find some wandering tribesmen who have never had an education and ask them. This is basically what you are doing.
This really is a prime example of garbage in, garbage out because with such an intellectually unsafe starting point, no conclusions that follow can possibly make any sense.
As I said above, I have not been shy about admitting that I take God and the Bible as the Word of God as my presupposition and I work from that as my basic framework. You say that is an intellectually unsafe starting point. And how do you know this for sure? Also, please enlighten me as to what you think an intellectually safe starting point is.
