#16 — You fail to understand what the Pope believes:
I understand it fine, and it’s not science.
…could only have happened in some kind of memorable event, in other words in some kind of act of Creation.
Science doesn’t make conclusions and look for data to fit.
#17 — There would be no modern science, no modern technological society, no modern medicine if it were not for Western Christianity.
False. The Enlightenment was all about the rediscovery of the classical world and the rejection of the religious explanation.
You get points for repeating this canard for the 900th time on this board though. Just think, if you say it enough times maybe it may come true: proof by repeated assertion.
And perhaps not surprisingly you conveniently ignore the obvious. Craven and weak, secularized Western Europe, hostile to its Christian heritage, is undergoing demographic, cultural and institutional collapse … a civilizational implosion!
Last time I looked Europe was still there. Seems to me their problems have a lot to do with the guilt trip from killing millions in world wars, but hey, you’re the expert here.
I will say I love your logic though: Europe has problems, and Europe is secular, therefore Europes problems are caused by being secular. Reductio ad absurdum much?
