It doesn't fit all objections either. I don't think you quite understand the full argument, no offense. Becasue it's not saying that there are no clues as to belief. There has to be some basis upon which one can make a rational decision, but it can't be so compelling as to negate all doubt.<BR/><BR/><BR/> "But dont you think it applies just as well to (for example) bible contradictions as it does to the problem of evil?"<BR/><BR/><BR/>>>>No certinly not! that would be to propose the "inspired mistake." I'm the one who blew the lid off the inspired mistake.<BR/><BR/>Inspired mistake, this summer I was arguing with a fundy who actaully propposed that any mistakes in the Bible were "inspired mistakes" so that there are no mistakes, at least not any that God didn't plan for and allow. To me that jus sux because it means nothing can ever count against it.<BR/><BR/>We should be able to deal with Bible contradictions in terms of textual criticism and the nature of our theories of revelation. see my page on biblical revelation which I linked in the article where I answered your comments.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-1165532734841599582006-12-07T15:05:00.000-08:002006-12-07T15:05:00.000-08:00I see that in your article, you develop the concep...I see that in your article, you develop the concept of soteriological drama specifically to refute the problem of evil, so maybe you didn't mean it to be used for plenary refutation of every single objection that could possibly be raised against Christianity.
