Not only is the minutiae of carbon the accurate explanation of human origins, you can't tell the difference between it..and the idea that a wizard played in the mud.
Did you read what I wrote? Accurate explanations belong to science, they are stuff we can do, and did. It clearly didn't take God to come up with these. But resurrection, afterlife, not much we can say about that.

At least a god telling you the exact same things that anyone else has told you would work...but even there you have to wonder why it would take a god.(April 7, 2020 at 4:31 pm)The Grand Nudger Wrote: Here's a q for either of you. If "allah" came down and personally corrected the book that men wrote in his name...would you reject god and continue to worship a magic book? What can we learn about gods from a couple of idolaters?
If this actually happens, of course I would reject what I thought was a holy book. It doesn't even take that to happen, all it takes is someone to point out a mistake. Not modern understanding of nature explained in layman's terms, maybe simplistic, but not wrong, which is what happens with [clot of blood], [made from clay] expressions;
It didn't take god telling you anything to believe what you do.
