If you believe differently can you explain how theological claims pertaining to "peoples and cultures" that cannot be tested scientifically are assessed using non-scientifc methods in order to determine whether these claims are likely to be true?
When people differ over theological claims or interpretations it is common to split and form different denominations or sects.
That is why there are perhaps 40,000 different flavors of Christianity today according to some websites.
This exhibits the use of
belief in place of
evidence in assessing theological claims.
Religious belief does not constitute scientific evidence, nor does it convey scientific knowledge.
Belief gets in the way of learning--Robert A. Heinlein
How can I possibly put a new idea into your heads, if I do not first remove your delusions?--Robert A. Heinlein
It's not what we don't know that hurts, it's what we know that ain't so--Will Rogers
