Default Re: Why I am Agnostic... paper from 1896

Well if you are saying that it is the infallible Word of God then you are stuck with trying to prove that everything in the Bible is accurate and factual to the nth degree, it cannot be wrong at any point and minor inconsistencies that don't bother me become very real problems for you because if the Bible is infallible then it can never be wrong. Good luck with that.

If you are saying that it is merely a realtively accurate historical account of divinely inspired events, then that is a significantly lower burden of proof.

Which proposition are you making?
