Is Bible inerrant

Try and keep up. I have better things to do than argue a point about religious belief that you have obfuscated out of proportion and beyond all recognition. Putting you in your place, however, is another matter.Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:
I have no idea what you are talking about. First you say you have better things to do, then you are unable to stop yourself from posting.
(Oh, was that you being intentionally obtuse again? It's getting hard to tell.)
Quote from Hansel H:
This doesn't qualify as scientific proof. I believe Yip is a scientist and probably wants more than common sense or bare logic.
But isn't archeology a science?
What about examining the interal logical consistency?
The question was about the bible I thought? Maybe I misread. But I thought the question was, " can you scientifically prove the bible isn't true."
I just picked two things that disprove it.
There's a few more scientific disciplines that can address other concepts in the bible.
Quote from Hansel H:
The difference between fairies and God is that we can discount the likelihood of fairies on the basis of our having available more common sense explanations for their purported works.. but there are no explanations for the existence of the Universe that make any more sense than the God explanation.
I can only think of three possible scenarios: The Universe has always been; the Universe appeared from nothing or from a series of somethings the first of which appeared from nothing; the Universe was supernaturally generated. All of these scenarios are inexplicable by way of science.
This is why I say that because all the explanations for the existence of the Universe defy both common sense and science it's pointless to critique any of them on the grounds that it's unscientific or unreasonable.
However, you can find reasons aplenty in nature and in yourself to adopt either style of explanation.
That's possible. But since the thread was titled "is bible inerrant" I'm thinking that it had gone without saying that the bible's god is god we're refering to. If that is the case then given all the other problems with bible, we can rule that God out. In fact, all established religions past and present and their creation stories can pretty much be ruled out.
I guess we can create a new definition for a god that could be said to be responsible for the creation of the universe. Assuming that there is a need for a first cause to existence as we understand it.
You continue to claim to have better things to do, but you continue along the same lines...

It might be a good idea to have a new thread of "The definition of God, or what is God".
It might turn out that someone will consider natural evolution/randomness is a god.
Stating the obvious of course when it comes to explanations apart from the God explanation:
...those non God explanations are just an opinion, and an opinion that is not universally shared.
Just so you know...

You keep saying versions of the above, but just so you know -- that's just an opinion, and an opinion that is not universally shared.
