But hey maybe it was camel, it dont mean shit.

But errors do occur in the bible.

My favourite is the "wicked bible", where the important word "not" was ommited from thou shalt NOT commit adultary.

It would be committing an informal fallacy to adopt the opinion of an amateure when it contradicts that of the vast majority of professional scholars. Such would be illogical.

I think I'm asking why others believe Christianity to be illogical and then asking why the reasons given are true.

Smile

And who in this thread had asserted that claim before you posted in it?

Nice straw man you got there. What do you call yourself doing here?

Scientists don't have any faith in the scientific method?

My question was about your strawman OP, which has nothing at all to do with scientists. Non Sequitur.


You are equivocating the word "faith". To be specific, "faith" is belief without evidence. This is the antithesis of the scientific approach, which doubts and attempts to disprove any hypothesis it generates and comes away with confirmed confidence through examination of evidence, as distinguished from your utterly blind, unreasoning "faith". Having been publicly alertrd to this now, you would only be demonstrating your intellectual dishonesty by continuing on this tack.
Quote:I believe the straw man fallacy is one where the argument of another is misrepresented and the misrepresentation is then refuted. Whose logical argument did I misrepresent in the OP? I was unaware I was citing any argument in the fist post.

Whose argument indeed? Thus the straw man.
