Quote from: Sir Apple on September 08, 2014, 02:51:42 PMScience is built up of theories, not facts.You can't conflate the two. Theories are, essentially, facts. The nature of empiricism, however, keeps us - and rightly so - from claiming any theory as absolute. What you mean by 'facts', I presume, are actually just observations. Which, disregarding the fact that they are subject to their own issues of validity, can't even begin to be compared to theories.

Better question: if God loves everyone unconditionally, why even invent a place like Hell?

You can't believe everything you read on the internet.The point he's trying to make is that the accuracy of copies of the New Testament is supposedly far greater than other greek writings, hereby (probably) implying that it had to be true, that the tales of the bible are not just fairy tales and that it truly is the word of god.Unfortunately, the main "sources" to back this up are extremely biased and pro-christian "studies" that date back several decades and compare obscure works by greek authors older than the bible to the new testament as if that somehow conveys anything about biblical accuracy. I've done a bit of reading and haven't found any mention of this chart on websites other than the likes of "thechristiantruth.com".Simply put, it's in all likelihood nothing but bias and bullshit, but even if it isn't, it's still completely pointless.
