I never said that I haven't tried to justify it.
What I said is that I don't sit around banging my head against the wall trying to justify it.
It's simply not hard at all to justify it from my perspective.
I have no clue where you think their might be contradictions so I certainly can't address those.
Nor would I care to hear about your objections.
In fact, I'm willing to bet that most, if not all, of your objections are based on
erroneous ideas that you have concerning what you believe science has ruled out.
Why should I accept or adopt your opinions on that?
I have my own opinions on that based on a lifetime of having studied the sciences.
So why would I look to you to decide for me what I should deem to be scientifically plausible?
I'll gladly share with you a very strong personal opinion that I do currently hold.
It is my personal view that many scientists (and secular atheists) are
indeed spreading falsehoods about just exactly what science truly can and cannot rule out.
So as far as I'm concerned you may very well have bought into those
erroneous teachings and/or popular misconceptions yourself.
Why should I be concerned with that nonsense?

Thanks for the heads-up.
Next time I go to the cathouse I'll know to take cash with me instead of trying to barter my way in with an amulet.

"God loves you unconditionally"
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
