Quote: If someone gives you an eye witness account of an event that happened before your time and all the evidence that you have collected does not contradict that account, is it no logical and rational to believe that eye witness\' account? In a similar way, we have the Word of our Creator who doesn\'t lie and who was there in the beginning. The actual physical evidence fits nicely with what we would expect if the Bible is right, e.g. fossils, mutations, the fact that there are billions of sea things burried in massive "underwater graves" all over the Earth - some while still eating or giving birth (i.e. had to be rapid). So if the evidence that we have collected does not contradict what His eye witness account says (i.e. Genesis) than, is it not logical and rational to believe it to be true? In fact, it would be illogical and irrational to not believe it!
Response: Almost, and this is why I start the entire debate from the begining.\nYour concept of God is the irrational claim, that leads, inevitably, to a string of reason based firmly on an irrational or illogical premise. This is no great feat, we can all make a reasonable mountain of claims based on a single irrational premise. You don't NEED reason, you have faith, it's the opposite of reason.\n
