I think it's either an inability to deal with the cognitive dissonance of bible-belief vs reality, or just plain diminished intellectual capability.

It is a near impossibility for one to think their religious scripture is in error.

Just my opinion. but I feel if a person is afraid to question their religious scriptures, that is a strong reason they should.

Meaning you can't prove it, and are pulling your opinions out of thin air. There is no proof of any biblical texts before possibly the *based on the large date spans with carbon dating* 2nd century b.c.e, so any view that it was written 6000 years ago is simple conjecture on your part.

And here we have yet another example of censorship.

Ejecting someone from the conversation. (This is when you know they're on the ropes. They hope they'll win through attrition.)

Yep. Enjoying and encouraging the conversation. (I like really smart people who can advance a well-thought-out argument. Saying, "Bonjour" to a poster does not qualify. That means the thread is headed for "God said it, that's enough!" or perhaps, "Final word!" Which is usually stated before they disappear into the mist.)

Only intransigent Christians seem to be capable of lying endlessly, and of assuming that all the ancient Biblical Truisms are exactly that: inarguable, always providing a complete answer to everything, even when we have disproven their once inarguable "flat earth", instant Genesis, ±6000 year-old timeframe stuff, and so on.

Aren't you guys tired of realizing, as you well know inside your stubborn heads, that you have been officially proven wrong? Multiple times X multiple times?

You a scientist?...LOL! ,,, Nothing has been disproven...
