You began the personal attacks when you suggested gratitude I was not your teacher. We’ll see what you can learn.
The point is that the rules of logic go back to before Aristotle and yet somehow you’ve reached adulthood oblivious to them. Briefly stated, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.
Provide some proof for virgin birth, burning (yet unconsumed ) bushes, the sun stopping in the sky, walking on water, resurrection from the dead, living within the belly of a whale, etc. etc and I’ll discuss it. Absent proof, reasonable doubt is the most logical position. No system of rational thought requires me to prove everyday experience when challenged by extraordinary claims that violate empirical experience.
If this is beyond your comprehension, that’s not the teacher’s fault.
This is not only laughable, it's pitiable. Really? What preceded that? You questioned my education. Really.
You lost the point-- sorry.

Nowhere did I compare you to horse anatomy. That was all you.
RM: thanks as always; I didn't push the abuse button on 41 as I'm thick-skinned enough to deal with it. Just surprised to be told I started it. I stand warned per policy.

Extraordinary? I find the "claims" to be true. I have not the first problem with The Bible. If YOU do, instead of trying to argue the finer points of argumentation, prove to me why I'm wrong! You've made the the claim about 2,500 issues or inconsistencies...not me-- so show us all the proof you're right,
Otherwise the claim of 2,500 whatever is just that: a claim.
