Faith Science - Logically Indefensible

I think simply declaring the words of the Bible to be fact is a good example of the faith-based approach, and that a critical examination of it should be on-topic.

Yes, critical analysis of the approach would be on topic. But I feel that discussing whether the words of the Bible are or are not fact would not be on topic.Just a reminder to all that this is a science forum. Debate accordingly.

If you still feel this is offtopic I will drop it, but I thought I was dealing specifically with assumed fact based on faith, vs assessing factual statements based on other sources as we do in other fields.

You're actually dealing with the approach that assumes fact based on faith.Reread the OP and keep your arguments in line with that. Can a person of faith objectively analyze any theory or evidence that directly opposes their faith based position?
