Quote# 2462

But for positive evidence [of a young earth], we have the best of all—a reliable Eye-witness to the event who has provided a written record, which overrules any circumstantial [scientific] evidence!

Thing is the eye witness is as made up as what he witnessed by a bunch of bronze age tribesmen

You know, even historians tend to distrust primary sources in favor of archeological and anthropological - that is to say, scientific - evidence. That's because even "reliable" eye-witnesses can still get the facts completely wrong.

Besides, how do you know this witness is reliable? Because he said so? Well, if you'll take that, I have some ocean-front property in Arizona to sell you.

So why didn't your eye witness testify at the various trials where creationists desperately tired to prove their beliefs were scientific? Did he not get the summons? Did he just blow it off?

Just think, if your god had actually testified at just one of those trials, your side might not be saddled with its perfect losing record.
