I’m mostly done with the creating atheists manual, but…. I’m stuck! I can’t undermine this pastors faith lol.
I talked about the problems of faith and his response was that the faith of Muslims was not god given.
He’s Calvinist, so has no problems accepting that some people get fake faith and others get the God given faith.
So then it came down to evidence. I think I actually forgot to ask what would happen if there was more evidence for Islam if he’d abandon his faith. Something about God given faith would keep him in Christianity if it was from God.
Then finally we got to the point where he would reject his faith. He said if there was no evidence for his faith, he would abandon his faith.
I then realized that he uses the Bible as evidence of the Bible, which he admitted. But after further prodding, he said biblical evidence does have to be corroborated via the real world.
He also had no problem with the ark, because God could divinely pick up the koalas and scatter the animals throughout the planet. Genetic stuff is the same. No dna problems because sin screwed up our genetics and caused us not to be able to fuck our sisters. Lol.
Holy fuck. I’m at a loss for words.
The only good news was he said if he examined the evidence and found there was none, or it was “anti evidence” meaning it… conclusively proves the Bible false, then would he abandon his faith.
So…. I’m looking at the Red Sea crossing, which there’s no evidence for…. That, I assume is not enough, because just because there’s no evidence for the parting sea, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. No, we’d have to show evidence that it was impossible to happen, if that makes sense.
So… now what? Do we just start looking at the evidence or lack of evidence?
