Paul Younan Wrote:What exactly is a professional bible scholar - and why does his/her opinion matter to you? I know of plenty of professional "biblical scholars" who claim that Jesus didn't exist. Or that he married Mary Magdelene. Some even claim he went off to America and preached to the "lost tribes" there.
The imbeciles cannot even agree amongst themselves. You act as if there is any credibility in what they say. Who cares?
Also, it sounds like a person has to be western in order to qualify as a professional biblical scholar to you.
I don't know whether or not people believe in Creationism here or not. But the same argument is used to promote Evolution against Creationism.
Namely, that the vast majority of scientists believe in Evolution, therefore you should trust them and ignore the minority that disagrees.
I think people should look at the evidence for themselves and decide, but then what do I know, I haven't been told what to think in a godless western university!
