Obviously I didn't prove there wasn't a contradiction. Our conclusions depend on our presuppositions. Once again, believing is done with the heart, not the mind. I hope to see you around, Grimsey.
On the other hand I could be charged with only being interested in nay-saying the bible because I have a presupposition that there is no evidence to suggest it is anything other than an ancient book written by ancient and fallible men.
In other words I'm don't believe in God, but others do - we sort of knew this already.
