Not only are there different explanations of what the trinity is (and we've seen another one or two recently, which differed from yours) but some people claim that it cannot be understood. Yet each person who makes those claims insists that he or she has a solid grounding in Biblical understanding that we atheists seem to lack. It really doesn't help when the people who "truly understand" the Bible can't seem to agree on something as "simple" as the trinity.(December 29, 2014 at 9:19 pm)dyresand Wrote: The idea of god being 3 beings and yet one being at the same time is really stupid....Why? You just have no understanding:
"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."
