Winn Once again, you post a Bible quote that is completely unrelated to the claim you are supposed to be defending. Still, you have utterly failed to provide any evidence that the Bible should be used for any purpose at all.

From: Matthew Johnson on 1 Aug 2008 20:16 In article <cca0c2fa-98aa-446b-b2fc-0c027ef0dfba(a)59g2000hsb.googlegroups.com>, rbwinn says... [snip] >> How do you 'KNOW' that ? There are plenty of Christians who baptize >> their babies ..... are you saying they won't get into heaven ? What >> 'special' knowledge do you possess that they don't ? >> >> -- >Modern revelation. >Robert B. Winn And this, of course, is where Winn demonstrates a thoroughly broken, unscientific epistemology. To demonstrate how broken it is, how thoroughly useless both for science and theology, one only has to consider: what answer can he have is someone else pops up and claims to have a "modern revelation" that infant baptism is not only good, but a commandment from God? All he can do is complain that this other person is not following revelation from God after all. But wait! Why should we not say the very same about Winn? Who is really going to win this contest? That is yet another reason why none of his crossposts belong in sci.physics. He should have posted to alt.atheism only, and amused himself by watching the rattled cages there.

In honesty, he earned failing grades. I can see why you would be proud to follow a liar. |
