sree said: Hey Roy, the Center For Inquiry is part of the Richard Dawkins Foundation that promotes scientific literacy and works to advance secularism around the world. I don’t think it is appropriate to preach the teachings of the Bible in this forum. You need to define what God is and either show empirical evidence for or prove it in terms that we can understand.Excellent post sree. I agree completely with you well presented argument.
The Bible isn’t a fairy tale.
It is a calculated collection of stories to help people make sense of their lives and to impose and justify hierarchy, social controls and civility within large communities…
It’s wonderful thing - but it is a product of the Mindscape - Physical Reality on the other hand unfolds outside of our Collective Mindscapes.
Without appreciating that fundamental reality - you appreciate nothing by studying only one side of the coin and thinking it encompasses all of reality.
