"If so, why all the fights and interpretations between the different Christian sects?"

Ask them. Could it be that they have an agenda to live up to? Don't you think there is a reason why at one time a particular group did NOT want the Bible in the hands of the "believers"? ;)

"Do you really believe I would need to do such a thing? My other question to you is where have I stated what my "beliefs" are? "

You have a very high opinion of yourself ... so yes to your question ... . You've stated your beliefs in other threads. Some of us notice.


"Remember, accepting the evidence for the theory of evolution does not require a "belief". For example; do you "believe" in the element called gadolinium? Or do you know that such an element exists without the need for a belief structure."

TO accept evolution is to put your faith in it since you were not there. Good science is repeatable. You cannot repeat your "theories".


"Been there done that. Bet I would surprise you with just how much I do know."

If you had searched the Hebrew and Greek you wouldn't have these questions. That is how I know you didn't do it.

"You mention accounts by 3 different people, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. WHY is it so odd that 3 different people would have slightly different accounts?"

Ever seen three people have IDENTICAL accounts to say a crime or some other event? It's not that they are lying per se, the see the same thing but state it differently. Take a car accident - one may believe the car is zooming along at 50 mph when it's just going 40. Some may think the slick road caused the accident. Another might think the driver was a Hispanic where perhaps I thought the driver was Italian. It happens all the time. As it happens Matt, Luke and John do not contradict one another. Different things were emphasied.


"Describe those three diametrically opposed theories please."

No I'm not going to waste my time on evolutionary theory. That's your specialty. You simply don't want to see it or admit it.

Evolution theory is "repeated" every time an ancient species is found in ancient layers, and modern species are not. It is repeated continually, and if ever it failed to do so, the creationists would pronounce victory far and wide and hold up the fossil in question.

The fact that they have not done so, in decades of trying mightily, is the best reason to believe Evolution science that I know of.

I am talking about today.

You have a very high opinion of yourself ...

Not really. Sorry to disappoint you.

so yes to your question ... . You've stated your beliefs in other threads. Some of us notice.

Care to show me?

TO accept evolution is to put your faith in it since you were not there. Good science is repeatable. You cannot repeat your "theories".

Actually we can.

If you had searched the Hebrew and Greek you wouldn't have these questions. That is how I know you didn't do it.

Now you are blowing smoke.

Different things were emphasied.

Those were some REALLY major different things. If the Bible were truly infallible, how would different accounts be able to be (or allowed to be) recorded?

No I'm not going to waste my time on evolutionary theory. That's your specialty. You simply don't want to see it or admit it.

Actually its because you can't.
