In regards to that post I offer the following repost from:http://EvC Forum: How do you decide what is True in the Bible? -->EvC Forum: How do you decide what is True in the Bible?

I think the problem for many Christians who come here is as follows:

Zragger was the mighty plusrazor master of the shattered oyxy box. Before he existed, he was able to perform mighty crackletoes of zograds. But low he had an nemisis - the unholy slapperbotrum. And a day came when they fought with jellyguns.

Now it seems like I'm taking the piss and suggesting that Christianity is nonsense, I'm not. But to a disbeliever, the claims of Christianity can sound like that. May disbelievers don't wish to offend but many Christians find it difficult to understand why people don't "get it". It’s very difficult for people who put great store in something to understand that to many people it is of no significant at all.

​

This tends to led to two types of problems here:

1) The special pleading:

​

it says such and such in the bible therefore it must true.

​

God could have just released all of the heat into space with a wave of his hand.

​

Now this is fine in the faith forums but may posters run into trouble because they try to use this line of reasoning in the science forums. Christians who come here have to accept that in the SCIENCE forums the bible is given little to no credence, it is just a book. Others, will for a while, try and practice Pseudoscience, they will offer explanations but when cornered will resort to goddunit or well you don’t know the answer either so it must be true!!

This causes friction and problems.

2) testimonial:

​

But it was very dangerous to be a christian in those times

​

Won Ryatt was a great man and I knew him. I just know he was telling the truth when he says he found the Ark

​

This is the second big problem I see here on a regular basic. The Christian religion is one that is built on testimonial, again something that most people in the science forums will not accept. This lends to all sorts of problems because many Christians then try to argue the scientist NOT the science — But he was an honest man, it must be true or more commonly He’s covering up the evidence because he’s an atheist. This cuts no ice at all in the science forums.

If it works for you - no problem. But if you want to argue faith head over the faith bits. Plenty of people will give you a good run for your money there
