Consequently, I do not think I was using circular reasoning at all. I think you are extrapolating from what I said relative to the issue at hand into an area that was not even being discussed. On the other hand, I would also agree that the wording of my sentence that you quoted was less than crystal clear on my part and may have contributed to such extrapolation.
I was referring to the part I bolded. I know we are discussing criteria but I bolded where you said how you get your criterion from the Bible "because the Bible says so" - and what I'm talking about is not just on this biological matter, but on other matters - if you're going to just get your criteria from "The Bible is right because the Bible says so" - then I don't see how I am supposed to argue with you. That is circular thinking.
