Good sir, did you not see the point of my post. Can you not see the difference between calling something infinite and EFFECTIVELY infinite. I'm not talking high religious thought here, just simple grammar. To be infinite is to one thing. To be EFFECTIVELY infinite is to not be infinite, but for the purposes of the example, be infinite. The sun's energy is EFFECTIVELY infinite compared to the short span of a human life.
Do you think it is possible that someone can not lie, cheat, steal, covet, hoard, lust, kill, and judge and still not accept Jesus? I try to leave a peaceful life, and I live many of the principals taught in the bible. I do not however accept Christ. I am an atheist. Do you believe that all atheists are immoral? Can someone have morality without Jesus?
I can argue facts. I simply wished to state that I was not going to do so in my post. I expected that no one would try to argue points on religion with me, but rather points about your style of argument. Points you have once again seemed to gloss over. You have not yet attempted to refute my point: That you do not know what "effectively" means, or that you do know what it means and chose to ignore it in order to belittle someone else.
I don't understand how you can make an argument "The Bible is the most scientifically accurate record in existence."
Then have it refuted: The scientific method had not been created when the bible was written, therefore the Bible is not a scientific text.

Once again I would like to state, I am not trying to support evolution. I am trying to question your methods of debate.
I also sense much anger in your post. I get a "I am holier than thou" sense from it. Maybe you believe you are. Maybe you are, But I don't think Jesus would have flaunted his holiness at me if I was attempting to have an educated and civilized discussion with him.
I am also disturbed that instead of trying to help me, I feel as if you are denouncing me. Most Christians I have chatted with are very kind, and when we are finished speaking they say that they hope I will one day find my way to Jesus. Although right now I do not think I will, I am very touched by their sentiments. I feel no such sentiments about you as of right now.
