Nice try at a sidetrack, swa(y).
Funny how atheists think they know more than Socrates, Jesus, Kierkegaard, Darwin or Einstein. I mean that's a laugh riot. In short, atheists are pretentious, profoundly disagreeable and generally miserable sorts.
Now, I know what you are thinking. You're thinking that aren't preachers pretentious? Yes, they are. Anyone that claims to have absolute knowledge of the afterlife, for instance, is pretentious.
Hmm, that must be one of the major reasons why Socrates, Jesus, Kierkegaard, Darwin and Einstein all believed in God but had issues with organized religion.
Let's explore some questions and answers:
Is the I-Ching an actual oracle?
No, it is a book of wisdom compiled over centuries by Taoist and Confucian thinkers. It is a book of self-discovery. It surpasses status as merely a great work of compiled literature to have the status of a great book of wisdom.
Is the Bible flawless?
No, it is a book of wisdom that also serves as a historical document of the Hebrew people. It has been translated and retranslated many, many times. It surpasses status as merely a great work of compiled literature to have the status of a great book of wisdom. As a side note, there are key differences between Old and New Testament religious philosophy.
Is evolution true?
Absolutely, it provides the underpinnings for every scientific discipline from Anthropology to Zoology. It is no theory and provides a scientific basis in which to describe the origins and evolution of life on this planet.
Is relativity true?
Absolutely, it accurately predicts the physical interactions of matter throughout the entire universe. It is no theory. In 2003, it was proven in an experiment partially
conducted right here in Charlottesville that the speed of light and the speed of gravity are exactly the same.
