I have difficulty imagining what the point of discussing anything to do with it is, if it is not presumed to be so.... That would apply to almost everybody else around here as well as to me, wouldn't it? (I think you're just scared of ol' Ringo.  ) Help scientific research in your spare time. No cost. No obligation.

iano writes: You dodge and weave around the issue of the Bible being the word of God.  I'm trying to get you to discuss the issue - at least in the context of this topic. Who's dodging and weaving? Never mind whether or not the Bible is the word-for-word of God, dictated in His own handwriting. People who can discuss it intelligently aren't that plentiful and people who are willing are even less so. Stop running away. Either debate or get off the pot.

arachnophilia writes: How would you know either way if God can lie to you. AH! tough question, isn't it? Over the years, I have had several friends who were inveterate liars. Would I trust them with my life? Yes. Would I trust them to never betray me? Yes. Would I trust them to help me when I needed them? Yes. Would I believe every story they told? No. We were friends because over all the good outweighed the bad. (And chances are they "overlooked" some of my flaws, too. ) Similarly, even if God can lie (and even if that is perceived as a flaw), it is our over all relationship with Him that counts.
