Why Agnostic?

[Ryft]

I'm talking about actual events. The God of the Old Testament who created the world in six days does not exist because there was no six-day creation. The God of the Old Testament who flooded the world does not exist because there was no global flood, etc.

Right, that's what I thought. And it is a non-sequitur. It simply does not follow that "God is completely different from the one portrayed" (Msg. #126). It is some specific action of God's that would be completely different from the one portrayed, not his nature or very existence; i.e., acts of God (e.g., six-day creation) are separate from attributes of God (e.g., omnipotence).

• "You say God created the world in six days. Since there was no six-day creation, you are therefore...
  • ... wrong about God's existence."
    
  • ... wrong about God's nature."
    
  • ... wrong about how long creation took."
