Atheism: The True Path?

[fr0d0]

I agree. I was wanting you to separate the two. But nevermind.

Huh? You mean you engineered a trap and I failed to spring it?

It wasn't a trap. But admission of that lets me knowwhat you think.

We're still using exactly the same original source in EVERY version there is. The most accurate version currently is the NIV originally published in 1978, with a minor revision in 1984.

Bollocks

Not at all!

Ah, the mythical "Q" ... in that case I believe you should be looking at the world's oldest known bible but be careful ... apparently there's no mention of the resurrection.

Nothing 'mythical' about it. You deny the existence of the paper trail as well? Trouble is, if you go this far down the road of denial, it looks illogical to the most casual observer. You need to stay on the side of reason.

Like I said the NIV is the most accurate around today.

And the fact remains that others (other theists) do not agree with you so your view is hardly authoritative.

The fact is that EVERY Christian agrees with me. That's enough for an assertion.

Oh trust me I'm not merely interpreting ... it says DAYS and therefore one needs a specific reason, a specific logic, a specific justification to decide it meant something other than days and yet again there are many Christians who interpret it as exactly that, DAYS. In addition there are other problems:

You ARE EXACTLY interpreting though. Or repeating an interpretation. Yes you could discuss that with deluded individuals (IMHO). That doesn't make it any more than interpretation though.

I've heard an almost exact account as you cited there preached explaining Genisis. It has little merit in either camp when used to dismiss either science or God. The account is an explanation in human terms. The metaphor of 'days' fulfills this requirement. That is all.
