Colton Smith
One of the three great medieval theologians alongside Thomas Aquinas and Duns Scotus
Most notably famous for Ockham's razor which states that the simplest explanation is most typically the correct one.

Not quite pity, not quite disgust.

How?
Logan Gomez
the sun not moving around the earth, all species not being created in their present forms, adam and eve not being the first humans, etc
Asher Davis
When does the bible ever explicitly state any of that as fact?
Easton Harris
No? Aristotelian cosmology is not in the Bible and the conflict between Galileo and Church was largely social. not theological. As far as Darwin is concerned no one really cared outside of American Proddies.

Imagine being this much in denial kek. Christfags on suicide watch

the bible isn't meant to be a history, it's legends and myths, with only occasional rough historical alignment.

Not him, but the obvious answer would be for control. If you control the framework of knowledge you control knowledge itself...

He made razors, he became quite good at it too.
Tyler Smith
>So then why did people read it as history up until around the 19th century?
