One of the constant claims that appears time and time again is that Scientist/academics cannot be trusted in regards to judging "religious" matter as they will suppress any evidence that does not fit a materialist world view.
Hi Charles:
Are you bloody serious ?
Please tell me Charles HOW an atheist can objectively judge a religion that begins with the claim of a miracle ? (christianity/Resurrection)(the question is rhetorical)
What atheist is going to conclude a miracle occurred which simultaneously disproves his own worldview ?
What you are really saying between the lines is that atheists are objective regardless of their personal beliefs, which is what they desparately go out of their way to try and establish.
EVERYONE HAS AN AXE TO GRIND: ATHEIST OR THEIST OR AGNOSTIC; it doesn't matter.
Dr. Scott says the most trusted sources declare their bias/position up front so his audience can recognize the bias when it creeps in.
The worst are those who hide behind the deceitful mask of (pseudo) objectivity - an animal that has never existed.
