Were you under the impression that this was -not- how science was done? TBT, there doesn't need to be any great multitude of competing theories, it would only require one. You've been asked to present an example of one such argument - that no christian believes in. Either do so..take your own claim seriously....or drop the pretense entirely. 49 fucking pages long man, there's bound to be one in here....just go grab it, eh? We can poke holes in it together.(October 28, 2015 at 8:05 am)Rhythm Wrote: There's probably a difference between inaccurately portraying scriptures...and portraying scriptures in a manner in which you don't, personally, believe, but that some other christian group does.

If you can find some reason that I should privilege your batshit crazy over theirs, that I should consider your portrayal of scripture accurate...and theirs inaccurate, then by all means....share.
I covered that too... there are all sorts of views on evolution as well.... Should I choose the weaker and less widely held ones to argue against as if it is the whole? And there are also editorialized arguments I have seen, which aren't viewed in Christianity at all.
But if we come upon a disagreement from the scriptures in the future, I am happy to have a theological discussion in support of the difference of views (if one takes the matter seriously).

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
