Comment on What can we do when something is too vast to provide representative examples for?
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 6 months agoI was making sure so we’re on the same page. Let’s compare the Bible and the Qur’an, shall we?
The Bible: A compilation of poetry, stories, eyewitness accounts, songs, wisdom, letters and fulfilled prophecies written across several thousand years.
The Qur’an: A single book authored by an Arab warlord claiming to be receiving direct revelation from god, after being visited by an angel. Also claims that the Bible is a previous revelation sent, and this is the addition of it (Qur’an 5:47). Contradicts the entire message of the Bible which says that even if an angel appears in contradiction of it, they are cursed (Galatians 1:8)
They aren’t comparable.

You call their magic book bad, I call your magic book bad. I want proof. Not extended strawmanning. You asked what I need. I said proof. You are unable to provide proof past “my magic book says so”.

I’m not unable to provide proof. It depends what you’re specifically looking proof of and your standard of proof. For Jesus all we could possibly have for Him is historical records. But I know you’ll dismiss them as “not being proof”. What proof do you want?

I want proof that god exists. I stated this multiple time. Not “a cult leader in Judea called Jesus was executed”.

How could an infinite concept like the Mandelbrot set exist in a finite universe?
