Description
Ok. Last one for a while on this topic. I promise. Well I mean I'll try.This is just to illustrate the cyclical argument of the Bible. ... Yup.

I have actually seen this referred to as the "Circle of Power."
More like the circle of

This is same logic that naturalistis use to prove naturalism is true, and evolutionists to argue that morality is evolutionary.

The bible is only 80% true.
That's why we have the rest of the Scriptures.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
80%?! That is warenting of a citation as that is complete bogus
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
But wait, I thought it was the Word of God!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There were some mistranslations along the way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So how can you be sure any of it is accurate?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because I know what is wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No I am not. I am simply a man who knows which are mistranslations and which are not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm guessing that everyone else who says the same thing is wrong. You're working on your correctly translated version of the Bible, right? I mean, how else will everyone know what parts are correct and what parts aren't?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dunno about "Correctly translated"
Because a lot of the errors are caused my mistranslations, therefore, those parts are not correctly translated.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So if it's possible for any of it to be mistranslated, how can you say with any certainty that 80% of it is true?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because I know which parts are mistranslated.
For example: A tree so tall that the whole world could see? Pu-lease! The tree was probably simply very large!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, certainly! But, based on that, how can you know which parts were mistranslated and which parts weren't? I mean, there's plenty of pretty crazy stuff that is described in the Bible, but so long as you're questioning whether or not a tree was visible to the whole world, where do you know when to stop? 
Or were all these stories just mistranslated? How can you say that you know with certainty exactly what percentage of the bible is true or false? Can you see how you're falling into the same cyclical argument style that I am talking about in this stamp?
Only 80% of the bible is true.
Because I said so.
Because I know which parts are mistranslated.
Because only 80% is true.
Because I said so.
Because I know which parts are mistranslated.
Because only 80% is true.
And so on and so on.

1. Who knows?
2. No. She was made the same way Adam was, by evolution.
3. See above.
4. Not sure.
5. See above. Also, there were probably less animals in his time.
6. Lifetimes were longer in their time, because they led healthier lives.
7. No. He was the son of god, but he had a genetic father as well. Don't ask me how this works, it just does.
8. Yes. We don't know how.
9. Who knows?
10. Yes. We don't know how, though. Possibly a extremely beefed-up version of what water skimmers do, by using surface tension. That's just my theory, though.
11. Nope! (I don't remember which part of the bible this was in, so I don't know which person the donkey was talking to) But God could have planted what the donkey WOULD have said if it COULD have talked into the minds of whoever was around.
12. I don't know.
13. No. God believes that children are pure, and that the mistakes they make are easily forgiven.

Lol, well you're just full of all the answers aren't you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, most of them are "I don't knows" because I can't dismiss something, but I can't confirm it either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then why bother saying that you know that 80% of the bible is true? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Do you have proof that 80% of the bible is true?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You misunderstand me.
80% of it is true, 10% of it is I don't know, and the rest is untrue.
Because I will only go with what I am certain of.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you have proof that 80% of the bible is true?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That is not proof of anything other than your existence.

Something would have had to create the universe with science, wouldn't it? Or else I wouldn't exist.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sure, that's possible. But how can you claim to know what happened at the beginning of time? There is no way for you or anyone else to know what happened when the universe was created. And yet somehow, people claim they do.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know.
The same goes for you. How can you claim to know what didn't happen? Unless I'm misinterpreting you, and you're one of those "Maybe" people.
...
please don't hate me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't hate you, don't worry, haha.
I would never claim to know what happened, because it is literally impossible for us to know at present time. The best we can do is take educated estimates based on what evidence we can find, observe and record using science. They have some very interesting theories out there, stuff just blows my mind to think about.
There's nothing wrong with saying, "I don't know." I'm not ashamed to say it, either. I don't know what happened at the beginning of the universe (if there even was one). I don't know if we'll ever know with certainty what did happen. And that's okay!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yeah.
I'm making an educated estimate.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Educated based on what evidence?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay.
You know how the universe was created by a large explosion of matter from a central point?
How would that have existed if there was no God?
Need I tell you more?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, yes. In order for you to prove that God (and the Christian God in specific) was the creator of that central point of the Big Bang, you'll have to provide scientifically measurable proof that there exists a God. You can't just wave your hands and say, "How else would it have happened?" Because there are an infinite amount of ways that the universe could have begun, and scientists have gone about making more than a few theories about it, based off of scientific evidence and calculations. I mean, it's just laziness to say, "Oh, well I can't explain it, God did it!" The proper human response would be, "Oh, well I can't explain it, better try and figure it out!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm just guessing, see, but I have confidence in my guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, but there's a difference between making a guess based on evidence and making a guess based on belief and confidence.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Why not a little bit of all three?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, in order to have confidence and I suppose belief in something, some, if not most people, require evidence; evidence which, in the case of the universe being created specifically by the deity found in Christianity, is nonexistent.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
How can a universe just happen to exist?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. And there's nothing wrong with saying "I don't know."
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
People who use religion as a reason to control another person's life is just wrong.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Christians? Yes, they are.
But really, the bible is the word of man.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know...it's just the way the world is

This is the same logic I use to prove Star Trek is real to all my friends. Never fails.
