People's Exhibit A: the infamous Answers in Genesis "Statement of faith":
Quote:By definition, no apparent, perceived or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the scriptural record. Of primary importance is the fact that evidence is always subject to interpretation by fallible people who do not possess all information.
. . . and when the scriptural record notes Christ being crucified on Thursday and Friday, we have quite the scriptural chronological contradictory conundrum, don't we ?
And what extra-Biblical evidence could possibly help the believers with that problem ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
