Nothing is a fact if it goes against the Bible. The Bible is fact and absolute truth. Anything deviating from that is false. Adam and Eve were real people and everything the Bible recorded happened.

"Nothing is a fact if it goes against the Bible."Have you read the Bible? No, really, have you read it? No, truthfully, have you read the Bible?
"The Bible is fact and absolute truth."
That the Bible exists is, indeed, a fact. Perhaps, if you get around to reading the contents of the Bible you'll notice how little it has to do with facts or truth. Well, OK, YOU may not notice.
"Anything deviating from that is false."
So, the earth is flat, snakes, donkeys and burning bushes can talk, belief in something will save you, the virgin birth, the resurrection, angels exist, demons exist, God exists, Satan exists, there was a world-wide flood, etc.. That's all true?
"Adam and Eve were real people and everything the Bible recorded happened."
You're an idiot, deluded and misguided by others, for sure, but an idiot nonetheless.
Getting teens hooked on religion is equivalent to getting them hooked on drugs. It fries their brain just as badly, and unfortunately there are no 12 step programs or treatment clinics to cure teens of religion-dependency.
yep because a text compiled by a commity is so much more infallible than everything else!
Papabear:Have you read the Bible? "
No way in hell. In fact, only a small percentage of all Christians actually read the bible. And, I think only 1% of those people actually understand it. And, that 1% probably became atheists as a result of understanding it.
This is among the worst kinds of stupid. If it weren't for the fact that the tyrants over at that site abhor free speech, I'd go and teach them about reality trumping a book that has been fucked with thousands, if not millions, of times.
As stupid as this may sound, the grand master of creationism, Henry Morris actually wrote this in his first creationist book.
There has to be some award for such willful blindness... Cast Iron Blinders, perhaps?the bible should have a warning label

So bats are birds, huh?
As a former languages student, this one got me curious: I suppose that the "fowl of the air" thing comes from the KJV. Could it be that somewhere down the Aramaic/Hebrew to Greek/Latin to (Elizabethan) English line, a generic term for "winged critters that aren't insects" got (mis)translated into the more specific "fowl"?
Unfortunately, I just know neither Hebrew nor Greek, never mind Aramaic, so I can't really check. Is there someone who could?
Adrian - read the chapter, look at the hotlinks, and probably also look at genesis 1 & 2 - again with the KJV with Strong's numbers.http://www.studylight.org/desk/?query=le+11:19&translation=str&st=1&new=1&sr=1&l=en
A bat [atalleph] is a "bird" of the night/dark. (not an owl - [Kowc] or [Tachmac] or [Yanshuwph])
"Fowls" included insects, which were fowls which crept. The bats as birds thing comes more in the fact they're listed with the birds.

John 5:29, King James Version
Romans 3:12, King James Version
12They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
What happens when the Bible deviates from itself?
Proverbs 26:4-5, King James Version
4Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him.
5Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own conceit.
What happens when the Bible deviates from itself one sentence later?
@Frank:
u win 2dayz interwebnets! Great link -- some of these are hard to pick up from just reading (which I, unlike many T4Cers it seems, have).
Oh, and KA, you poor brainwashed child: amazing as it may seem, just saying something a lot doesn't actually make it true. Seriously. Try it. I just said "I've got a 10-inch cock" 20 times, but it hasn't made a millimeter's difference, I'm sad to say.
If I came to your home, and told you that some smouldering ornamental shrubbery told me that your home was now my home, and I could kill you and your family and take it to be my home forever. You would assume that the shrubbery had been Cannabis sativa, and that I had indulged too much. That is a reason based conclusion. To decide that my story is not only truthful but is a divine instruction with a divine authority, which overrules any property ownership rights you have in your country and gives me the right to take you and your family’s lives in pursuit of that goal; this is not a reasoned based conclusion. It is a defence for an in defensible act under anyone’s moral code. What sort of person would try to defend such actions under any circumstances, let alone base their own morality upon such tales ? I will tell you, it would be you.
Bzzt! Wrong! There's no historical proof that Jesus, Moses, Noah, Adam, Eve, or many other biblical characters existed, pi doesn't equal 3, snakes can't talk, bats aren't birds, insects don't have four legs, and the sun doesn't revolve around the earth.
Bats & Birds and Biblical Classification
The Bible uses the word "of" (pronounced exactly like the English "oaf") It comes from the verb "ofef" meaning "to fly".
For the most part, biblical classification is based on analogy not on homology. Bats and birds both fly, so they are considered "of".
Modern classification, after Carl Von Linne, is based on homologies, not analogies.
Interestingly enough, the Bible DOES use homology in one case: defining the kosher mammals, "split hoof" and "chews the cud" are today known as artiodactyls (even toed ungulates) and ruminants.

But, but, the Bible deviates from the Bible... So, by your "logic", the Bible is false.
The Bible has two rather different creation stories. Does that mean that God created the world twice?
“Nothing is a fact if it goes against the Bible.”
"The Bible is fact and absolute truth.”
“Anything deviating from that is false.”
“Adam and Eve were real people and everything the Bible recorded happened.”
