the source of life

quote:

---

1. No creation of energy is observed. Thus I assume that all energy is eternal.

​

2. Since all energy is eternal that does not contradict the Biblical record.

---

SInce the Bible makes no real statement on the matter the Biblical record could not be contradicted on this issue whatever the facts turned out to be. THerefore this point is irrelevant.

quote:

---

3. Observation attests to the likelihood that life comes from life. Therefore the likelihood of the source of life being an eternal source does not contradict the Biblical record.

---

THis DOES contradict the Biblical record which includes examples of life coming from non-life.

4. Observation attests to the likelihood that complex design is effected by a designer. Again, no contradiction to the Biblical record.

This contradicts 3)

5. Scientifically speaking, the more corroborating evidence there is supportive of a/an hypothesis there is, the more credible the hypothesis.

---

This statement is seriously incomplete and misleading. Strength and quality of evidence also matters greatly. A huge pile of false, weak or even fraudulent "evidence" may be outweighed by a single strong piece of reliable evidence.

quote:

---

6. Though there are debatable aspects of the Biblical record, there are historical, prophetic fulfillments, archaeological, social, and experiential corroborating evidences supportive of the Biblical record.

---

This ignores the fact that there is very strong evidence against parts of the Biblical record (including Genesis in particular). Also the fact that the "evidence" offered includes frauds and misrepresentations (and more which are likely frauds or misrepresentations) therefore having no (or very weak) evidential value.That is hardly a strong case when the real facts are taken into consideration.Edited by PaulK, : No reason given.
