Yes, I could, but I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so. You have already made up your mind, and as long as you can live with it, I can as well.

I have never claimed to have absolute knowledge, but I know Someone who does. I would never claim that I had a totally accurate interpretation of anything, much less the Bible. Apparently, you feel that you do. As I said before, as long as you can live with that, I can too.

As far as my use of Pascal's wager, it expresses my feelings on the subject accurately, so I'm not particularly concerned about your impression of my critical thinking ability. I'm not especially impressed with the thinking ability of anyone who uses science to disprove God.

So you're copping out. I'm not surprised.

An assertion of absolute knowledge. Absolute knowledge by proxy, but the assertion remains.

You said that you "know" things based upon the Bible. That would imply a belief that your interpretation is accurate.

Apparently, you feel that you do.

I never claimed any such thing.

So I was right, you don't care about critical thought. You just like pleasant sound-bites, even if they're totally illogical.

Do you ever wonder why some people don't find your arguments even remotely compelling?

so I'm not particularly concerned about your impression of my critical thinking ability.

This attitude only makes you look stubbornly ignorant, and proud of it.

No one here is suggesting that science disproves any gods, much less the God that you claim exists. You are paranoid and seeing attempts to attack your deity where no such attempts are being made.

Yes, I could, but I have neither the time nor the inclination to do so.

How... convenient.

You have already made up your mind,

No, actually, we have not, and that's the whole point. We are always open to having our minds changed by new evidence. This is why we ask you for the evidence you claim to have, so that we can evaluate it for ourselves.

and as long as you can live with it, I can as well.

I can live with being open to new evidence, ideas, and arguments.

Neither am I, but if you are under the impression that anyone here, or any prominent scientist, does such a thing, you are quite mistaken, and unnecessarily defensive.
