I guess that by definition, a "strawman" is an argument based on a faulty foundation. By definition, a foundation must be provable and verifiable. With this logic in mind, no creationist or biblical absolutist argument can qualify as sound. We can only declare the Bible as a valid truth based on our faith. Faith by itself never qualifies as a provable or verifiable concept. I maintain, however, that this does not rule out the possibility(which I believe is a fact) that there is an Omnipotant Creator who did come to earth as a man....Jesus Christ. I believe that it is also possible that human reasoning is flawed due to the Original Sin concept. I cannot prove my belief, however. ============================>
