Right on, Kelly. There are so many clues to support that, when we carefully study his words. He puts down women, he dislocates the Savior's doctrines. He sent the Apostles back to proselytize back to the Jew a decade after the Savior cast them out, saying "...your house is left unto you...
You said: "It's not designed so much to exclude notions of God, as to exclude notions not based on evidence and analysis thereof."
So, the first three words in the Bible discuss the Big Bang, a theory which is the apex of all human theories. Einstein the god of many cooked up the Steady State...
The most likely solution, to the Dark Matter enigma, is the gravitational accumulation of neutrinos, which are constantly emitted by the stars at furious rates. Their mass contribution provides the speed differential balancing.
The words "In the beginning..." meant nothing to science until the Big Bang was discovered! Consider the wasted years Corvus... Top scientists began to take a second look at Genesis. Genesis is a meticulous scientific account of the formation of our solar engine and planet earth. The...

Slow down with your religion, fella! Science is as far as could be from cancer cures. There is no general solution for cancer yet. And in fact there is a religious group who takes God's advice on diet seriously, (not the Jews). They live from 10 to 30 years longer than the rest...
I am afraid not! Science is the soft and weak part. It took science many millennia to get to the point of the first verse of the Bible record. In 1973, Scientific American posts on the front page the following words:
"In the Beginning..."
Until that time the best and brightest human minds...
My dear friend, what makes you privy to make this preemptive judgement and decide that Paul is one of the 144,000??? To be one one has to die for the cause. When His life was in jeopardy, he did not demonstrate the courage and conviction of Stephen, who looked up to heaven. 144,000... I...
The reason for why critical thinking appears to lead people into less belief in God may well be because science is designed to exclude notions about God in seeking for solutions.
My point is that the "Nouveaux" wannabe "Critical thinking" is the old "ad hock thinking to impress". Critical...
But the Savior dismissed Paul, saying that he is not an Apostle and the Savior was the one authority who could do that. Paul claimed to be an Apostle and Paul, it is, who said that foods offered to idols are fine to eat and do no harm. Right? Remember...? Well, let me remind you of both...
But Paul served sin with the flesh, kjw47. So do all the sinners. And you continue to assert that Election is how man is saved. So, why is God prejudiced against the others? If God is willing to save some sinners, why not save ALL sinners?
So, you are not here to dialogue with others who...
Let me reply to one of many questionable points you brought up: You said: There was no pretense on the Road to Damascus. In Gal.1:11-12, "But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught [it], but by...
The Savior did not appear to Paul on the road to Damascus. His own story is recounted 3 times and it is different in critical details. The Savior does not teach contradiction.
The confusion which Paul teaches is an abomination. He takes on sensitive points of doctrine and wrecks them without...
