[DuesEstSemperFidelis]

Not only did he mention one of the things I struggle with, he also mention my favor tie verse...

Science is based on logic. Without correct logic, scientism runs rampant and confuses issues even more than what they seem to be already.

solomon had many sexual partners and he was the wiser man ever to live. Is masturbation a sin? lmao

[erinvechols]

So, by the very rules of science, we can't use scientific proofs to try to prove or disprove a supernatural being (because the assumption is that is already doesn't exist...it isn't a question or something testable because it falls outside the rules of science). It would be more appropriate, perhaps, to look at philosophical arguments for or against a supernatural being. But, you are right, the Christian apologists seem smart to Christians, but their argument are often void of content.

[erinvechols]

@xclosetohumanx I agree with you about their not being any proof and understand why you would deny the Bible. But lets not be so arrogant as to forget that our definition of proof as "demonstrable, testable and repeatable" is a scientific definition and science, by its very definition, could never prove or disprove a god because it is already operating on the assumption that there isn't one (or any other kind of non-natural/super-natural thing).

@simoneves1 He doesn't. He uses GodTube. (which is a real thing) ;)

[nadua1]

@erinvechols he has to be vague, because He doesn't know you. But God does, God is the one who knows your individual areas of temptation, which might be different from everyone else's. I think it can be implied that a deeper relationship with the lord is God's" way out." if you are in constant communion with him, you'll get to know him more and he'll guide you to your open door of escape. no ruby slippers, just a desire to please him over your desires.

[erinvechols]

His advice is so vague. "God will give you a way out." The end. No practical advice. Just clothes your eyes and click your ruby red slippers 5 times and you will be back in Kansas, Dorothy.
