Quote:You're shifting the burden of proof.
Possibilities are not the same as reality is it? There are infinite possibilities, I'm not about to treat them all as realities. You are claiming that what, Genesis could be real? So could leprechauns. And thousands of other creation stories. Try treating those as reality. I'm being extremely generous here, Genesis literally isn't possible at all.
I am not shifting the burden of proof I am simply asking why you believe Genesis is a myth. To be defined as a myth you must have read it and then came to a conclusion over your findings that it was a myth so I am intrested to hear your findings.
The reason we know Lebracons are fake is because no one has once tried to say that they were real and existed where as the bible there are people who believe it so the question lies why do you not?
@Min
I am not saying provide me with evidence that something did not happen as you cannot provide something from nothing Null Hypothesis. What I am saying is that most Athiests here are strong in their belief that Genesis did not happen but what makes you take that view point?
@Ryantology
I see your point but what I am saying is that from my perspective a Computer Scientist (Developer) is that Computers give results as we expect them to give results. If we tell a computer 1 + 1 = 3 and then proceed to base calculations that means the (+ implies add 1 to the left sum) the computer would obviously say 1 + 2 = 4.
So how do we know that the computer is indeed accurate as all it is going by is the observable Universe as we know it right now. What it looks like is scientists these days look to shoe horn the answer into the computers output. E.g. work with the result to find the equation which is the wrong way.
