So you are now rejecting you earlier premise of fallibility? Moving the goalposts isn't helping this discussion.

I already pointed out the logical inconsistency in the thought process. Repeating it is not helping. If everyone in the world "lived by his principals" it is doubtless that there WOULD still be war. Narcessistic meglomaniacs make up many of the world's leaders both past and present.

The point of the quote is NOT to determine whether AE believed in God or not (it seems fairly clear he did). The quote was only meant as a counter-point to the AE quote I was responding to.

Trying hard to understand this. So... fallible humans wrote the parts of the Bible you do not like, but infallible humans wrote the parts you like?

Huh? History remembers at least as many monsters as it does the "ones who can manage to give their best efforts for positive values..."

Your fantasy world apparently does not account for irrationality, heat-of-the-moment decisions, or mental illness. Unfortunately, all the above are embedded in the human experience.

The entirety of the Christian bible, the new testament, was written by "fallible humans". What are you on about?

Albert said many things... like, “The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me.”

Science is about facts not opinions. A consensus is like the Oscars. The epistemology of science is the process of induction and deduction, observation and experimentation, the development and testing of hypotheses and theories then publishing to peer-reviewed journals for critique. It is by definition consensual. What you perceive as "facts" are just the predictable outcomes of good science. These "facts" can, and do, change and evolve over time.

What is this waiver nonsense all about?!
mikebike replied to FrankThePlumber's topic in Teaching in Thailand Forum
Hard to believe that over that long period you did not have the curiousity to learn what the actual teaching requirements are/were. Of the foreign teachers I know,it is a constant topic of discussion. -
Fate of my 800,000 baht deposited for Ret Ext.
mikebike replied to soleddy's topic in Family and Children
Didn't realize it was the same poster... just reply to things I find amusing or have some experience with. Not everybody has to deal with the 400/800k thang. It is not the only way Thai authorities accept. The blame lies with home country consulates, not the Thai govt. and your conspiracy theory... -

Or... some of us still get income facilitation letters from our govt and don't have to keep a penny here... ???? -

For all of you on about equipment. Most security experts believe little of intrinsic value was left behind. For example the Blackhawks are first gen from the 80s... -

Totally lost interest after reading more of your posts. Life is too short.

mikebike replied to ASEAN NOW News's topic in Vietnam News
The Vietnam vs Afghanistan analogy has a giant hole fellows. U.S. ground troops were out of Vietnam in 1972. The fall of Saigon was in 1975. -
WOW, Bangkok Pattaya Hospital comes through
mikebike replied to NewGuy's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
Where are you located (roughly). NST and Surat mainland nada. -
Oh... when it suits you you CAN be precise with language. ????????????

Wake up. The words and language you use MEANS something. Without precise language misunderstandings are more common than the flu. My response was perfectly appropriate for what you posted.
