The real religion?

I wasn't making an argument.... I was applying the points being made.

Exactly why the video and expert testimony in my court example are not evidence.  Do you think it odd, that evidence is rarely presented in court?


Actually, there is a reproducibility problem in science (which I've posted before from the journal Nature).   Either it is not reproduced at all, or attempts to reproduce it fail in an alarming number of circumstances across all fields of science.  And some sciences are not reproducible by their nature  If we can't test them for ourselves then what?...  However if your argument, is that the Bible is not science (neener, neener).   Then I agree.  But, what is your point?

Do you think that some claims of the Bible where public enough to be tested at the time they where written?  How did the message fair, in places where people where present, and could refute or verify what was being claimed?  Did the disciples act as if what they where claiming was true?

Then they were terrible points aimed at a straw man.

Please expound on this!

This is why you don't run the courts. You don't really know much about them.

Actually, I've never been in a court room.   Are you saying, that they actually bring all the evidence out in front of the jury's?   In a murder trial, do they bring out the body? Just curious....

If a scientific claim cannot be reproduced, then it is rejected by other scientists and not accepted as scientific theory. Do you even science? That's a rhetorical question.

Or it is peer reviewed and cited..... you say tomato... I say tomato.

However if your argument, is that the Bible is not science (neener, neener).   Then I agree.  But, what is your point?

No. Go back and read it again. I said that the source of the claim (the bible) is not evidence of the claims within (the bullshit stories in the bible). Stop trying to submit that as evidence.

So why did you bring up reproducibility and science? I'm not following here. First the bible is multiple sources. Second, are you saying that there is no evidence, if you did not personally witness it? Again, I go back to an expert witness giving testimony in court.... is this not evidence?

Do you think that some claims of the Bible where public enough to be tested at the time they where written?  How did the message fair, in places where people where present, and could refute or verify what was being claimed?  Did the disciples act as if what they where claiming was true?

I don't make any claims about what happened in the bible. There's no eyewitness accounts of anything involving Jesus. None if it is verified. Until it is, it's a bunch of old stories. If any of the supernatural claims there have any merit, it is up to the believer to dig up that evidence.

I count three claims in the above statements.
