RE: Challenge
Well I ask of you...if in general, when we decide whether something is true or not, we require evidnece, why should we make an exception here?

Because the bible is not evidence. And why should we make an exception and let it pass without evidence?

Also:
Quote:I think it's insane to take the bible absolutely literally, but at the same time I am certain that everything the bible says is true and infinitely valuable.

Can you explain this a bit more? Because how can you say it's insane to take the bible absolutely literally and then go on to say that you do however believe, and are certain, that EVERYTHING in the bible is true and infinitely valuable? How do you reconcile that? Can you elaborate on that please?

...and how do you do that 'at the same time'?

And welcome to the forums...it's not the oddest of introductions and I don't really care if it is or not so long as it's in good cheer (not breaking any forum rules, etc).
