We ask for evidence when theists want us to believe what they believe.
But they expect us to take their word for their claims.
What's up Valk(didn't see you post for a while)
So anyway to put it simply only scientific works need to show evidence to prove their point, so when you ask for evidence you're (not directly but indirectly) implying that Bible is a scientific work(which it isn't and nowhere in the Bible it claims that) so what I'm saying is I can respond like "show me where Bible says its scientific and I'll give you the evidence", I wrote it in detail in the op,what I did was essentially reframe it in a way where the burden of proof is on the person asking for evidence(burden of proof to show that Bible is scientific)

Are you sure you understand what a strawman is ?
I think he's experimenting with some new nested strawman fallacy algorithms?
Hey Pooley, have you really turned to the dark side? Are you really subscribing to a foreign imported religion called Christianity? What's wrong with home grown?

I'm thinking primarily of Hamm, Hovind and their ilk, but there exist a distressing number of believers who seem to expend a great deal of time and energy trotting out what they think qualifies as 'evidence' that the Bible is true and accurate.
Boru
Good point but still people can say anything they want to though, right? Doesn't surprise me some people say that but the bible never said anywhere it is a scientific work
