All of you have been weighing heavy on my mind
“This is a lie”.
“You are a liar”.
Two different things.
Isn't someone who tells lies a liar? If you don't believe me, ask Ray Comfort :hihi:
In any case, there is a difference between scholars who want to provide evidence - no matter how strenuous - to confirm their bias (see Creation Museum, Jason Lisle, Ken Hovind, Berlinski , etc.), and scholars whose goal is to arrive at a point as close to reality as possible.
As I mentioned before, as time passes, more and more the Bible and its related artifacts go from truth to parable, from real to forgery. And it happens not because scholars want to prove a god exists, but because scholars and scientists what to arrive at a point as close to reality as possible.
