There is no such thing as The Holy Spirit.

The more you're indoctrinated, the more the indoctrination material makes sense to you.
Quote:If Christianity had no reason at all it would be called wishful thinking.
What a coincidence. That's exactly what I call it.
Quote:It's not that you simply throw out contrary evidence. It's that, once you believe and put on spiritual goggles, you see the contrary evidence is nothing but lies.
Translation: "La la la la la la la. I'm not listening!"
Quote:Apologetics is about eliminating hindrances that prevent people from finding faith--say, they read about God's love but want to ensure the verses about it were never altered.
I've yet to meet a single Christian that found faith through apologetics. The arguments of apologetics are unconvincing or even laughable to those who are not indoctrinated.
For example, yes, the scriptures WERE altered over time. A prominent example is Mark 16, his resurrection account. One would think the Christians would have gotten that story right the first time.

Did you know that dogs don't exist in nature? They're the result of artificial selection (that is, they were bred from wolves).
Quote:What I was saying is no animal back then is alive today and there are more animals in the wold today then back then. So obviously when he said "every" he did not mean every animal that exists today or even in Moses' time. He meant every kind of animal was made back then. Then he made at least 2 of every kind again for the garden so Adam could name them (no specific number is given).
1. Can you define "kind" for me?
2. You do know that two of a given species isn't enough to sustain a species for more than one generation, right? After all, who do their children breed with? Each other?
By the way, I'm still waiting for you to answer my question about Job!
