What is a "statment"? I think you mean statement.
My "authority"? Using context to infer the meaning you must be using for the word, my "authority" is evidence. Reality. Things we know from looking at the sky and in the ground.
The world did not flood four-thousand-some-odd years ago because science says so; there is not only a complete lack of evidence for it, but there is evidence to the contrary, and lots of it.
The Israelites were never enslaved in Egypt because science says so; a complete lack of the most basic and necessary archaeological evidence of their presence is, believe it or not, evidence of the absence of the Jews in Egypt at the time the Bible says they were enslaved.
A man cannot rise from the dead because science says so (being "declared" dead and then waking up does not count).
These are things the Bible says happened. They did not. We know this. This means the Bible cannot be the inerrant word of Gaud. Even if it were, the Gaud it depicts is a blood-thirsty nightmare creature whose appetite for vengeance for imagined sleights can only be sated by the blood of animals and humans, culminating in the tortuous human sacrifice of his own son.
Joy to the world.
Since you didn't state a person are you saying that you use your own reasoning as your authority? Or is it Chris who upkeeps the evil bible web-page?
Some of your argument were addressed by me in earlier post. You either didn't read them or out right rejected them because you deemed my were full of Christian propaganda.
Science is nice and very helpful but God is beyond nature and can alter his creation in mundane and miraculous ways. You have closed your mind to anything that isn't scientifically explained. So you make many errors when it comes to what is reality.
I know you will correct me if I am wrong but you believe that we are just the happenstance of the universe. We have just evolved by chance to be humans. Then you make a statement about how evil God is. Be honest in your world view there is not evil. There is just atoms bumping into atoms. You have no worth and I have no worth. If you give yourself worth it is just arbitrary. In my world view I can say what is evil and what isn't because people have intrinsic value given to me by God our creator. He has spoken and is still speaking and has the ability to alter His creation. He is calling people to Himself because he loves them. He seek to make people whole and heal them and He is not the evil one.
