Actually it does, they call it the "muggles" or something I don't remember but the claim they make is in a fiction context (because Harry Potter only claims its fiction)
So, they aren't making any truth claims about reality then, are they?
Quote:The claims Bible makes is in a religious context so it's fine to criticize it in that context. If you criticize it in any other context it is just silly
The Bible makes truth claims, including scientific claims regarding biology and cosmology, and we absolutely can (and should) scrutinize those claims from a scientific perspective.
Quote:you're saying you can criticize a religious book in a scientific context and prove it is false, some other guy will claim he can prove that science is wrong when it says a spider bite "doesn't make you spiderman" in a comic book context. See where I'm getting?
WTF? You're either trolling, or very confused.
