“Many Christians, including BioLogos, like to throw out the "you can't take the Bible literally" argument. They think it is the ultimate zinger that will end any debate in their favor. But if we shouldn't take the Bible literally, why should we believe God is real in the literal sense? Perhaps God is a metaphor also. Maybe God is really a metaphor for nature or chance. Heaven forbid! However, BioLogos insists on having it both ways: God is literally true but the Bible is not. That's like saying Mother Goose is literally true but her nursery rhymes are not.” NatureChanceMetaphorAtheist ArgumentBiblical LiteralismBiblical InerrancyTheistic EvolutionBiologos Book:Debunking Darwin's God: A Case Against BioLogos and Theistic Evolution Source: Debunking Darwin's God: A Case Against BioLogos and Theistic Evolution
“According to the anthropic principle proponents, if the universal constants (e.g. gravitation, the strong force, etc.) were just a nose-hair off, the universe as we know it would not exist; stars wouldn't form and there would be no life and no us. That supposedly makes our universe truly special. To demonstrate just how ridiculous this fine-tuning argument is, consider the fact that no measurement in physics is perfect. All of them are approximations and have margins of error. That means the universal constants, that make our universe what it is, have some wiggle room. Within that wiggle room are an infinite quantity of real numbers. Each of those real numbers could represent constants that could make a universe like ours. Since there are an infinite number of potential constants within that wiggle room, there are an infinite number of potential universes, like ours, that could have existed in lieu of ours. Thus, there is really nothing special about our universe.” LifeUniverseNatureExistenceAtheismAtheist ArgumentAnthropic PrincipleConstantsFine Tuning Argument DebunkedFine Tuning DebunkedAnthropic Principle DebunkedNature S Constants Book:Debunking Darwin's God: A Case Against BioLogos and Theistic Evolution Source: Debunking Darwin's God: A Case Against BioLogos and Theistic Evolution
