DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[T0 Th3 M4X]

Scholars who are fallible humans said...

I will listen to God.

M4X, how can you listen to god?

In the posts since this one I'm quoting, you speak of the Bible and it's prophecies, as if it represents your future listening of god.
While that book does have some moral guidelines which are valid, for all I know, it also carries many which are invalid nowadays. Because of this, I find the notion that the book was inspired by god himself a bit (alright, quite a lot) disingenuous.
The book seems to be little more than a product of its time.
As with all predictions of the future, some educated guesses do some to pass, eventually, while some never do. This same statistic is present in the Bible, so it's prophecy capability is not surprising, hence not evidence of any special insight.

All this makes me think that you are being selective when you approach that book, and, just like the driver that complains that all traffic signs are coming out red for him while missing to account for the few that are green... You too count only the prophecies that, somehow, came true (even if the earliest known texts with them are dated from after the fact), while ignoring those that have never come true.

Some time ago, I picked up a book written in the 70's and I was surprised to find in it the prediction of working from home thanks to computers and their connectivity. Before computers were a thing you could have at home, before the invention of the internet! Should I assume that Alvin Toffler was inspired by god?

Perhaps you would like to revise your stance on those prophecies, or explain why the ones that have come true are the important ones that show us unequivocally that there is divine inspiration...?

Is there any prophecy you would like me address specifically? I hope this is a fair question to you, since I don't know that I've gone into too much depth about any specific prophecy, so it would be easier for me to look the context of specific ones.  And maybe the timeline being assumed for it.  If something isn't supposed to have occurred yet, then it would be difficult to fully account for it at this point.

When you say "product of its time, I would have to agree in part, but not in full.  Of course it was written in consideration of the era, but truth is also truth regardless of time.  "Thou shalt not murder" would be equally relevant today as it would have been thousands of years ago.  The laws were also condensed in explanation, when Jesus said the greatest law was, paraphrased, loving God with all of ourselves, and the second greatest was loving our neighbor as ourselves.  Personally, I would agree those ring equally true for today.  But we also had things that were effective in a certain point in history, and wouldn't apply directly today.  Like when God told David not to do the census, but he did it anyway.  That doesn't mean we can't do a census, because is understood in the context of its time.

No. I wasn't 'Going any where' with anything. It's not a 'Story', again your adding words into the conversation for... some reason.

Just pointing out that your posts... Well, they read strangley once a person have perused a lot of them.

Such as you assertions just a few posts ago.

Not at work.

So you're pandering.  Got it.

Uhm.. you've used that word before.

 So.. what does 'Pandering' mean when you use it in the above sentence? Perhapse give a synonym or two to expand upon what term you're reffering to?

You're using an unrealistic appeal or what you view as a weakness to sidetrack from the matter being discussed, and using it to try and bloat your own credibility.
