If Straggler says we can study prayer then surley we can study the Bible to see it it's true.
That makes no sense at all.
If you want to study prayer you study prayer first hand; not what bronze age writers say.
Can you see why this would be a terrible way to study prayer? Don't you think a double blind design would be far better?
Or any experimental design, for that matter.
The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

Moreover that view is a blatantly anti-relativistic one. I'm rather inclined to think that space being relative to time and time relative to location should make such a naive hankering to pin-point an ultimate origin of anything, an aspiration that is not even wrong.
Well, Larni, let's say I much better know what I don't want to say than how exactly say what I do.
