And I don't think it was an accident. I think you said it as if it were a statement of fact because you believe it to be. No? And, I think you believe it to be, because you read it in the bible. You say you don't want to go around in circles, but that's the direction this line of thought is destined to run.
If you are willing to concede that you believe what you've read in the bible to be true, then you are co-signing it, and I would be correct to address your defense of it as if it is your own personal opinion. If not, what the hell are you defending, exactly?
Wait... Because I believe what the bible says about god being eternal, somehow equates into me knowing the essence of God?
Let me turn your logic back onto you a second, I'm sure you believe life started on earth through abiogenesis, go ahead and explain the exact process; preferably in a way that can be reproduced scientifically.
