Regarding the UFO video, lmao. It was a publicity stunt. Do you really think that the reporter providing the date, time, and location ahead of time makes it more plausible? If anything, it just gave the guy time to prepare his BS. The object itself seems to be a pretty common balloon (do a Google image search and you'll see a lot that look like what that object was). The complete lack of hysteria surrounding the object - no extra phone calls to the police or other panic - is also noticeable given that southern California lost its collective shit a few days ago due to a SpaceX launch. You'd think a UFO-angel thing would garner some response from the local community and multiple media outlets, if not law enforcement (if this guy really could summon angels, he would've been whisked away to a black ops site, not left to die essentially homeless). That you think there's anything legitimate about that report only proves the old adage "There's a sucker born every minute." I bet you think the news reports of NORAD tracking Santa Claus are real, too.
I said the object was unidentified, but apparently you know better than the reporter who was actually there... smh
Your quote from earlier:

They demand all the answers to life, death, and everything in between in a nice, compact (if utterly nonsensical) package. Lack of certainty makes them incredibly uncomfortable, as witnessed by Huggy (either in this thread or another) going so far as implying that science's self-correcting mechanism is a flaw rather than a boon.*emphasis mine*
Here I am literally saying 'I don't know' what the object is, hence why I refer to it as a UFO, but apparently YOUR wild speculations know no bounds (you refer to it as a "UFO-angel thing", really?). So who really is the one uncomfortable with "I don't?

It's not my fault that you're either too dishonest to accept them or too ignorant to understand them. And given your quote mining expertise (and my refusal to play that game with you) it should be trivial for you to go back and read through them.*emphasis mine*
If I wasn't clear before let me rectify that now.
I am calling you a bald faced liar, and that these 15 pages of supposed scientific refutation of the Bible don't exist, but never mind all that, link just one example of science debunking the Bible from that thread, I'll make it easy for you, here's the link to the thread: https://atheistforums.org/thread-51134-p...pid1641081
You had no problem finding and posting the UFO video on your own (so quit acting like you're trying to take the high road), surely you can pull one quote...
