The issue is you, actually. This reply (yours) proves my point quite nicely.
Prove to me now no one has ever found inspiration from holy books. Prove to me right now science fiction is the only place source people make claims from.
And please prove that knowing you said "Science fiction doesn't deal in reality".
You are still getting pissy with me because all I said was "no one gets a pass" and stupidly think that is a call to ban it. You can claim you are Napoleon till you are blue in the face it still does not make it true.
There is a famous black and white film made I think during the silent movie era of a rocket landing on the moon. Rockets did exist in reality but even scientists who considered that it would happen at some point, still were not living in the future, someone still had to go beyond merely depicting it in a SI FI movie and act on it.
Otherwise the bible is true because every Easter some TV network has a movie depicting Jesus. Christians are inspired by those stories too.
Si fi is not the only place people get inspired. Si fi is not the only act of communication where claims are made. You cannot give anything special treatment .
