If I write a non-fiction book thats a load of nonsense, its ficiton in the same way as that.
You know, don't you, that just because you keep saying that it doesn't make it true. I suppose that you can't use the scripture to demonstrate that the Bible is fiction the same as you suggest that I can't use it to demonstrate it isn't. You give the baseless argument of the close minded faithful of your own religion. All that you are really saying is that the Bible can't be true because science says it isn't.
I keep trying to tell you that you need to walk before you can run so you don't even need to address the issue of its reality. You have no argument against or for that position because you don't even know what it is.

I'm not saying that such research is irrelevant but do you realise how much our understanding of the universe has moved in during the subsequent FIFTY FIVE years? This Filmer guy ... is he relevant? I ask this because I've done some searches and the ONLY stuff I can find on him is theological so it looks to me like he might not be the best source to quote if you're hoping to convince a bunch of secular sceptics.
Kyu, the thread was introduced with the intention to establish that the Bible has always been ahead of science; even when it wasn't thought to by science. If you are going to balk at the ancient history of 1953 science while I am talking about thousands of years you only demonstrate my point.

And who says that you have demonstrated truth of God Daystar?
And how can you be so certain? Do you ignore probability again?
I am most confident, EVF - but maybe I have missed a step. Show me.
