The Bible and Jesus around the Blogosphere

Thanks good Doctor.

"Like a Child" reviews, "Can We Trust the Gospels".I would also like to ask, can we trust "Like a Child"?She brags about a Ph.D. and various claims, without offering any verification whatsoever…and claims that she was a Christians who is wracked by doubt.But the more I look at her stuff, and I can go into my findings if anyone is interested, the more it is apparent that this is not just some "doubter" but an atheist using that as a hook to lead other Christians down her agenda driven path.

I have rather wondered sometimes whether some of the more ludicrous young-earth creationist sites were created by atheists trying to make Christianity look bad.Brian, I may make that statement about why you dislike fundamentalist ideology so much my "quote of the day" sometime, if you don't object.

You never know, in fact Jack Chick could really be an atheist trying to make Evangelical's look bad. And you can use my quote just correct any mistakes you seek in it.

Yes, I have questions. Why call yourself Skeptical Skeptic if you have problems with people being skeptical? Why use language like "BS" if you are a Christian? Why judge someone you presumably don't know? Why doubt scientific claims, unless you yourself are doing more advanced pioneering research to overturn or improve upon them?

To answer your question, Professor, I call my self a Skeptical Skeptic but my problem is NOT with people being skeptical.It is with people pretending to be "doubting" and "seaching" when they have…if you read them carefully…already decided.And my "judgment" is based on what they write…just have YOU have judged me.And to suggest that it is improper to doubt scientific claims is just to replace one kind of faith with another…science is a provisional enterprise, has been shown to have made many errors (supposedly self correcting but how can we ever know) and is something that can never anwer ultimate questions.Indeed, leading scientists will tell you that they encourage such doubt; Like A Child obviously is using a double standard in her critiques.Skeptical Skeptic

Much appreciative. Thank you.

Pastor Bob,Your comments, "are we talking San Francisco or New York? If the former, are we talking current players or former players? Thus, would Barry Bonds be present there or Tim Lincecum (post steroid era)?" Has to be SF, since NY would require going back in time. For SF, Barry is too busy using steroids, and Tim is too busy smoking pot. Thus we have proof that pharmacuticals are the answer to man's problems. Still undecided is whether the giants are having their way with young human virgins. Thus the parable of Genesis. P, E, D, or J source?

"Like A Child" does not exist.You say she is "grieving", Professor, but she is obviously intent on evangelizing her "grief".In sum, I don't believe "Like A Child" is the real deal.Skeptical Skeptic
