Can a literal Genesis creation story really hold up?

[Muffled]

No...You should believe your bible is full of fallacies because it's been proven to be so scientifically, mathematically and historically....

I don't beleive you have ever proven anything but that doesn't seem to bother you any.

 

[Muffled]

That is only ignorance speaking.

Appealing to ignorance is not how we study the bible.

I believe you are calling yourself ignorant since you were the one who said it.

 

[Muffled]

God has not said or wrote a word ever.

Only man has.

I believe I didn't say "wrote". I said "says."

mythology has never said anything.

and you cannot prove anything at all outside mythology

While I can prove what is stated in genesis is factual mythology.

"Factual mythology". Like truthful lies? Or real fakes? Nice contradiction in terms.

How about a simple deceit?

I think your confusing your terms.

I you cannot prove anything 'outside' of mythology....then mythology is all that you CAN prove.

And if mythology is factual.....

yes true

not one aspect of genesis stands up in reality

Actually, much of Genesis fits reality, ... if you throw out traditional interpretations and read the Bible carefully, instead.

False

You are known to pervert text.


It is factually mythology and any attempt to place it in reality is futile and perverted.

And the constant denial is shallow.

You mean read it in a post hoc manner fitting verses into scientific explanation? Sure if you want to use fallacious reasoning go ahead but you are not going to convince people that can critically think.

I have no problem blending science into Genesis.

What's holding you back?

 

[Shad]

Logic.

 

[Thief]

Did you say ...logic?

And God said to the angels....Man is less, therefore stride after him and see to it, that he stub not his toe, nor dash his head.

On third of heaven say...nay.
That Man is less, he should be made to serve us.

There's nothing wrong with that ....logic.
We do so unto anything less than ourselves.
We do so unto each other.

One third of heaven lost there positions over that argument.
They want us dead.
Two thirds of heaven lost their brothers for that argument.
They might not care.

And to whom do we bear resemblance?

 

[Shad]

Your Biblical quoting and interpretation on works on those already holding your position, not those that do not. Still no logical argument. All you have shown is divine command theory, God said X, some said no to X, God got angry and throw a fit.

Looked more like brother angel against brother angel....
that's the story I got.

Did you say.....logic?

And people still believe in angels....
