But see, this still is not an argument about disproving all of science or all of the bible, about disproving parts of them. It is about one single thing. God. One can disprove all of the bible and still believe God exists. Because there are arguments for the exsistance of God outside of the bible.

Otherwise you might be making quite the argument. Whether or not someone can look at religion or God scientifically, AND still believe God exists. That is what we are trying to find out.

Answers may be gotten from the Word sure, but the same way you can't parrot off a part of the dictionary without explaining it for those that might not understand, the same way you can't parrot of the bible without explaining it.

Well of COURSE you need sources. I am not arguing against sources, but against solely using sources. For the same exact reason your teachers don't want you to copy and paste another's work and just turn it in with sources. Your last post had what I considered proper amount of sources and your words. It was good, I just did not like your first post or so that had the majority of it quotes from the bible without explaining/talking about them.
