Why am i not surprised?!
For example, a person living in the fifteenth century could hardly have known anything about relativity or quantum theory. But does this "ignorance" mean he's stupid?
No, but you think God could have revealed them the truth?
Or to put it even more crudely, in "olden times" what we today call "microorganisms" were called "demons."
Oh, yeah, more rationalizations. Except that instead of telling them to eat moldy bread, the Bible says they were cured by shadows of holy people passing over them, or by 'telling" the "demons" (talking to microorganisms?!) to get the heck out! And then they "jump" out of one person and into a herd of pigs who then jump off the cliff and drown.
I suppose the cure has evolved over the centuries...we can no "convince" the little "demons" to jump out, but have to kill them. LOL!
Maybe, then, following your own rationalizations, the Bible really didn't mean it when it says that some people were raised from the dead because they weren't really dead but only in a coma...right?
And maybe Jonah wasn't in the stomach of a large fish, deprived of oxygen and surrounded by digestive corrosive juices, and crushed by powerful smooth muscle movements but was only telling a tall tale, or maybe the donkey really wasn't talking...but it sounded like it was...etc.
Why would God be telling people such stories?
Not that I take personal offense from this. It's just been my experience that people whose argument mainly consists of ad hominum attack are mainly people trying to avoid an argument that they are demonstrably ill-prepared (not to mention ill-willed) to answer. :^)
God has revealed the truth to us, but in cases like yourself, it's still being rejected. Your mockery and derision of what has been revealed in Scripture demonstrates that beyond any doubt. It's not that Scripture isn't true, it's that you don't believe that it's true.
Apparently, you'd only consider that God revealed the truth in the Bible if it lined up with what you already believe about the world and how it works. Since it doesn't, you therefore label it as not true.
We live in an age where science is expected to explain everything, but it can't. I think a number of mentally ill people have been possessed by demons. Son of Sam comes to mind.
