What writings confirm a "superior being". Be specific and identify how a book, inarguably written by men, confirms such a statement. Be specific and identify how the "superior being" communicated these inspired writings to men. Be specific and identify how any of the men who wrote the bible received these inspired writings from a being that was authentically a "superior being"Progressive creationism is built on assumptions not facts just like many scientific theories. What was the point of God handing down judgment on adam if things were already dying.
I still have not seen any scriptures that would make me consider an old earth view. People can believe as they wish but for me my doctrine comes from the bible. Are all my beliefs in line with what the scrptures say ? I believe they are I don't believe doctrine that I don't see in the scrptures.
I don't make my beliefs fit what man thinks my beliefs have to fit what the creator say's.
I always find it tragically comic that fundies will make comments such as: "I don't make my beliefs fit what man thinks my beliefs have to fit what the creator say's"
The fact is, all of the alleged "holy texts" are undeniably written by men.
Its quite simple, really: A book is simply that, a book. There is no solid reason to connect any supernatural entity with the authorship of a book. Never, ever, in all of the history of humanity has any god made their existence extant. Never in human history has any one of the 14,000 or so alleged gods presented themselves in a fashion understandable to humans, And in fact, all of the alleged gods have eventually been superseded and/or replaced by the more currently in-vogue gods. Its just a fact that the bible was written by men, edited, revised and compiled by many men. That is not conjecture or assumption on my part, its just a fact. I care about these inventions of supernatural entities because religions and supernatural beliefs can have the effect of keeping humanity in bondage, both mentally and physically. Im forced to acknowledge these various religious beliefs because countless billions of people are made to live their lives in trembling fear of an asserted supernatural entity who will bring forth such things as hell and plagues and various "wraths", "curses" and "spells". Faith, then, is ultimately a confused marriage of blind, uncritical trust, and wishful thinking. No matter how fervently one believes in an improbability or an outright contradiction, it will not suddenly spring into being merely because people wish it so. As Anatole France said, "If 50 million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing."
Many of the writings confirm a superior being inspired the writings. There are things mentioned in the writings that man did know at that time. These writings had to be inspired from someone superior to man.
Be specific and identify what "many things" man did not know that were "revealed" by a 'superior being"
Be specific and identify why the bible (which we know was written by men) "had to be inspired" by some superior being.
