I ask why. She says because it conflicts with the bible which is of course truth.
Now she was not raised a believer. She read bible on her own and started believing it.
And it was after she converted she found that guy who said halflife is 5000 years and believed it.
Did any of you seen anything like this before?
She basically believed something and if anything conflicts with it no matter how convincing and how much evidence backs it up she will reject it as a lie.
Also the biggest reason she believed the bible were "small signs" from god. She had small events happening in her life and she somehow connected those events to the christianity. What is that all about?
She sounds like a born-again. They're usually the worst
I often say that atheists are more open minded than fundamentalists. I've encountered theists who have stated, matter-of-factly, that if science proves 100% that the bible is wrong and they, themselves, can't dispute those facts, that they'll still believe the bible over science. Whereas I've encountered many atheists who have said they'll start believing in a god if shown conclusive proof. They might not worship (who, after all, could worship the god of the OT?), but they will believe.
