Q: “what the consequences of using [the Bible] as an established standard of fraud would be” ~ [I’d prefer to have it say established standard of truth or even absolute truth].
A: A country where truth, justice and liberty prevail! Or just maybe the closest thing to utopia this side of Heaven!
Promises of utopia invariably deliver something that turns closer to Hell.
Let me get this straight, you are in favor of using the Bible as the standard for “proving” scientific fraud? You’re going to need larger prisons or a new standard for capital punishment for more “crimes”? I’ve worked in the mining industry for some 40 years and lived in mining towns from birth until about 20 years ago when I moved to a mixed industrial community. In all that time I’ve never met even one geologist, mining engineer or metallurgist who doubted deep time as evidenced in the ore bodies where they worked. I further never met one who expressed doubt about evolution. I guess we would all be in serious trouble in your utopia.
