QUOTE I just want to be sure of what you meant with this reply before i answer: is it just me, or were you being quite sarcastic? Were you in any way trying to say that if we were indeed an evolved species of ape we should understand what apes are "saying", and the fact that we have no idea of what their sounds mean we're at the very least unlikely to share a common past?
Take it literally. I really intend to do what I said.
QUOTE I'm still looking for your arguments (except that they don't think like you, of course). :/
Huh?
QUOTE There's peer-reviewed authority.
It's
Argumentum ad Verecundiam then?
QUOTE Because the human life is limited, one can't do anything. Therefore one has to trust other people (for example : I have no proof the USA do exist. I know it from authorities like atlas, hollywood movies and posters on the Internet).
Since when have Hollywood movies and posters on the Internet been considered as "authority"?
QUOTE The good thing with science, and the main difference with religion : it gives you empirical observations, logical and step-by-step reasoning and finally experiences to try to disprove a theory. And you're free to retry it at home ! (it's a very common thing, by the way. When a lab do a new experience, other labs repeat it. Except when the experience involve something like a large hadron collider, since there's only one in the world).
That's a pretty convenient exception don't you think?
QUOTE On the other hand, the only authority the Bible provide is "Accept it, or else...".
That's not really the case. Biblical teachings acknowledge that many won't accept it and those who do will face persecution. No one is forced to even listen. But IF what it's saying is true, then those who refused the chance to heed it's teachings are obviously headed in for a whole heap of trouble.
As you said, "human life is limited". Where's the wisdom in investing so much in it?
You can make me look like an idiot by throwing scientific theories and logic at me, but then what? What good is that after we die? And I'm pretty sure neither of our biological lives will last for more than a century and a half.
QUOTE It doesn't mean there's not some truth in the Bible, but not a scientific one, and not a very convincing one.
I believe it regardless.
QUOTE Weird that you step from religion to a scientific theory, based on an observations in the real world, which is not like religion at all.
2 Timothy 3 : 1-9
Tell me if that doesn't the least bit checks out with the real world.
