Forced Baptism In Bioshock Infinite = Refund?

Odd but the thread was dead and probably would have remained so. So, you were saying?

The difference between science and religion is simple. Scientists don't cling onto theories which have been proven wrong. Science has made many false assumptions over the centuries but as more knowledge comes to light the thinking shifts to accept what can be tested and proven. Religion still clings onto the old doctrine and refuses to change.

The bible places the Earth age as around 6000 years... This has been confirmed false and humanity itself has existed for far longer. Science is open to new ideas, religion is not.

Not quite true, there have been reforms in religions. Mainly christianity. I don't believe the bible ever explicitly says anything about the age of earth. It was people reading too much or too little into the book and making assumptions. Also,I doubt you'd meet many, the Pope including, would not say that the Earth is flat.

The bible to explicitly say that the earth was created in Six days though. After that, the age of certain people is known and the age of the earth can be estimated from that.

Except God didn't create the sun, moon, and the stars until the 4th day ... who can say what the timeline was for those first 3 days ... could have been 72 hours ... or it could have been 9 billion years ... who can say ;)

It would be better to stop guessing at the validity of the bible and just admit it's all complete utter bullshit.

I always thought the famous line from "Inherit the Wind" (based on the Scopes Monkey trial) was a good one, "The Bible is a book. It's a good book, but it is not the only book." ... there is definitely some history buried in the bible and archeologists have successfully used elements of the bible to discover ancient ruins ...

however, there are many elements that are clearly the element of man (like the fact that Angels didn't have wings until after the Jewish people were imprisoned in Babylon ... and one of the notable features that most Babylonian gods have in common is they all have wings ;) ) ...

The other element of the Bible that gets people in trouble is that three of the worlds great religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) all share elements of the same philosophy presented slightly differently (and they have been fighting about it for centuries) ... as one of my friends once stated, "It is like three people reading the same book and fighting over the Appendix" :cool:
 
They should have put in something along the lines of what Infinity Ward did with their games. Either stupid guy is stupid
