Why not ask me what I mean when I use the phrase?

It would be much easier.

Fine, I'll let you have your flapdoodle.

discipulus, whatever do you mean by "care to debate" and then spending pages negotiating or not responding to your potential debate partners?

I do not agree to a debate unless the topic is one both I and my counter part can agree on.

Seems reasonable.

I can debate more than one person at once.

When will that happen?

1. What is your supporting evidence for <the supernatural exists> as asserted?

2. What evidence do you have to support the events you listed actually happened, i.e. coraboration from sources other than the biblical canon?

3. What evidence do you have to support <they were accomplished by supernatural means>?

4. What does any of this have to do with evolution? Support?

5. It appears you are attempting to derail this thread instead of creating a new one, because evolution is not an area of science you feel particularly competent discussing. Is that indeed the case?

If you can actually get to an agreeable point, then yes.

You all will have to pardon me but it is not easy reaponding to upwards of ten different individuals. Sometimes I may miss your post. If I do it is not intentional. Please bear with me.

What if it was not written in the form of allegory or parable? Would this correspondence be a story?

Obviously not. But if you're suggesting the Bible is a correspondence between god and man, I have to ask why you think god (not men) wrote it, and why he did such a poor job of it.

If you could just go ahead and elaborate on what you believe the Bible is and what it means to you, that would be great.
