Point taken.
So your point of view would be to take individual actions or "stories" from the bible, validate them as true. If validated as true, then the bible could be assume true cover to cover, and one would suggest that a belief in God would not be unwise and possibly encouraged?
Seriously, because my belief is that the Bible can be valiated, especially the new testimate, which is what christians live under.

I'm still taking those classes, but the problem w/ many students is that they're either so ass-backwards that they won't hear out the oposition or that they blindly accept anything that a "prof" says. I've been there and I think it's mutually agreeable that one must decide for themselves.

You cannot validate any stoies in the bible!!! This is the biggest mistake of all, you want to LITERALIZE stories that are metaphorical in nature. You should read them and grasp the moral of the story, that's it, nothing more.
You do know the meaning of metaphorical right?

Prince- B.S. in Business Aministration from Southwest Baptist Univeristy. Born and raised in the church. But honestly education has little to do with understanding and believing the bible. That comes through careful study, which i'm assuming you've done.

Originally posted by Prince I just wish that everyone had the opportunity to be exposed to some of the very liberal professors that I had, as well as the classes, they really help people to remove their blinders and open their minds.

I'm a bit confused by this one Prince. Please don't take it that I've formed an opinion, one way or the other, because I just don't have all the facts and am hoping you can clear this up for me. You say that your "very liberal professors" "removed your blinders", is that correct? Are you sure they didn't actually taint your vision with their liberalism? In essence, puting blinders on you? I'm not a college professor but I have been in the teaching profession for over a decade and I know, regardless of intent, some personal views WILL creep into speech. It's literally impossible to remove all emotion/personal beliefs from a lecture given by a human being. And I don't use absolutes like "impossible" lightly.

However, I find it interesting how religious folk will use science to their advantage when it suits them but try to refute it when it doesn't suit them. This is not the ideal of science, in science everything must be objective. If you have a hypothesis and your stuides prove you wrong, you don't run and hide from it and stick to your origninal idea. You admit you are wrong and move on. Afterall, what you may have found will be of use anyway.
That is why I believe in science and not God. Science has already debunked enitre sections of the Bible, Genisis being the most obvious. How long before the enitre Bible is debunked?
