The 'old testament' argument

It was perfect until it made a decision to short to ground. It worked fine until it made the decision to break, it did have the chose to act that way, we would have preferred it hadn't and so on and so on...
You're looking at it from the TV's perspective, for some strange reason. I'm looking at it from the manufacturer's perspective. A responsible manufacturer would have said "hey, sorry about that, these things happen. We'll replace it or refund your money." An irresponsible one would make the excuses you see above.

We both did, you simply misunderstood where I was going with it. See my reply just above.
Godschild Wrote:As for your little idea about the origins of scripture give me the proof.
Proof? That would imply evidence that probably does not exist any longer. The best I can offer is sites like this one, and specifically , which describes the two creation accounts and how their differences point to two different writers reflecting the political and cultural forces at play during their times.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
