dinosaurs on the ark and other scientific facts

[Phenomanul]

And so a lone dedicated specialist finds himself at a loss against a jack-of-all-trades; except that "jack" gets to cherry pick the bits and pieces from this or that subject, and lacks any deep comprehension of any of them.

Seeing how you are referring to me; I don't know how you can make such a claim without knowing who I am.







And no, I'm not about to list my degrees or my credentials. The context of my posts should be sufficient enough. If you can't see the level of understanding from said context that is not my fault. And it's not even a matter of boasting. It is what it is; I aced all my classes... why should I be penalized for that?

[bigzak25]

every one of you will ask for God's forgiveness on your deathbed...'just in case'.

[midgetonadonkey]

I aced all my classes... why should I be penalized for that?

You aced all your classes in Douchism.

[Phenomanul]

Your stupid "God told them what to write" is weak as . Don't talk about other people's arguments being weak. You make me ashamed about being from Corpus.

Speak about being ashamed for cohabiting the same city...

You are the most vulgar, disgusting, distasteful, insensitive, person I have ever had the misfortune of meeting on a board. The fact that you gloat about it and parade it... is even more disturbing.

OWNED.

Ahh you assume no one at the library of Alexandria had access to these scrolls. Unfortunately the fires that ravaged the library also destroyed some very precious texts hebrew texts (according to some Jewish sources from the Museum in Jerusalem).

Of course Hebrew scriptures were written down before the Babylonian exile, that's not the point...the point is those scripture had to be rewritten, and rewritten, and rewritten...and argued over (rabbinical tradition)...and commented on...and rewritten....and rewritten...

Pointing to a pile of ashes does not prove your arguement.

I won't. On my deathbed, I'm asking for a beer.

You should meet me in person. I'm far more vulgar and distasteful than I am on this board. I gloat about it because vulgarity is the talent I have been blessed with. I know exactly what I am and I have no problem with it.

And that statement didn't own me. I know what I am .

[bigzak25]

you say that now....

[midgetonadonkey]

you say that now....

I will say it when I'm dying. I don't believe in your "magic man in the sky". I have no fear when it comes to death. I know exactly where my spirit is going when I die and it isn't going to your fictional heaven or .

No... but you are assuming they purposely changed parts of the story that would otherwise have no significance in the context of their smaller picture --- because the bigger picture wasn't revealed to each individual author; only small fragments here and there. Consider the fact that the full canon, including the highly profetic book of the Appocalypse (Revelations) was not yet complete.

You are also assuming that the church council that compiled the canon knew exactly what to change to suit their needs. I believe that most of them really couldn't see or understand all of the structural bookmarks that populate the bible and give it continuity as a whole... they were more concerned with including texts that they felt were divinely inspired works and rejecting those that weren't. New nuances are found in the bible every single year.... that's why people study the texts.


Edit: Made the argument clearer considering that yesterday (when the post was initially written) my attention was divided between the thread and the Spurs Game.

Be prepared to be surprised then.

It is what it is; I aced all my classes... why should I be penalized for that?

I've aced every English Lit class I've ever taken (HS and College). I suppose I could go up to scholar with a doctorate in Classical Greek literature and make wild assertions about Emily Bronte, and if he weren't all that familiary with Bronte, they might let those comments pass on without comment. That doesn't make me a better scholar then him.

People study the texts because they have been taught from birth to believe every word the bible says. Any cynicism is considered blasphemy.

Dang it!!!!!

Let me watch the game in peace!!!

[bigzak25]

i didn't say i believed in heaven or or even God.

i said that everyone will ask for forgiveness...'just in case'.

[midgetonadonkey]

Be prepared to be surprised then.

Why should I be surprised? Because you are right and I'm wrong? What proof do you have that you are right?

[midgetonadonkey]

i didn't say i believed in heaven or or even God.

I won't ask for forgiveness because I've done nothing wrong in my mind. And even if you do think I will ask for forgiveness, why should I want someone who has never shown me proof of their existence for forgiveness? It's like asking Fonzie to forgive me for going against all he stood for.

No... but you would at least be prepared or qualified to enter discussions with him/her. Not every one is perfect and not all opinion is a truthful fact. I'm pretty sure if you talked to that scholar long enough (granted of course you were qualified in his/her field of expertise) that you would find an error or two in their concepts/statements or assertions.

[Phenomanul]

I am wrong so be it.

But if you are wrong............ ouch.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Funny how noone alive can ever disprove hegamboa's precious credentialed beliefs

We have to die to discover if he was right or not

except these "structures" and "nuances" are created by the reader after the fact. This is like arguing with a numerologist who's desperately trying to show you how a disparate collection of numbers add up to prove a prophesy.

[midgetonadonkey]

I am wrong so be it.

But if you are wrong............ ouch.

What if you are wrong? What if the ing stupid ass Muslims are right about everything. Than you are as ed as I am. Do you acknowledge that you stupid ing Christian?

Structure points to order... whether we see it after the fact does not change that fact. Order is a sign of purpose and plan. Simple really.

No other book spanning such extensive history is as extremely structured as the bible.
