They do stuff based on there instincts and even then they sometimes do stuff out of there programming like tend for other animals
>we can't put thoughts in their brain
heh but here you are making claims about what God can and can't do @⍟luminance
And human altruism is no different?
It’s not thoughts, but it’s genetics — things that increase survivability of a certain population will lead to increase in size of population with beneficial traits
That's because he said he's all knowing
And decrease in those without
How do you know that, Kaizo?
Cuz the bible says so fam
What evidence do you have?
The bible got a much better track record than test tube cucks
oof
Sorry, haven't found too many talking bushes in my time
~~the bible isn't a scientific text~~
Jesus was walking on the water explain how else he was doing that this wasn't Criss Angel David Blaine smoke and mirrors
See, Phil, I agree with you, but Kaizo here is the one trying to compare the two.
He was turning water to the wine man
I think the Bible serves better as an allegorical text to extract meaning from
Not as a literal text to adhere to as it says

It's not like my neighbor owns an Ox
So
?
Yes, but they were not recorded perfectly
Like Christ's miracles
A lot of people's neighbors still do own Oxen
I don't believe that, we should adhere to the rules and beliefs of the bible
But it’s not limited to those who do
The meaning of the text
Yes, we have a single text and we have Christians who use that single text as a source
By that metric the Book of Mormon should be believed, too.
Closing question for y'all
By whose authority, and by whom, was the bible composed?
That is what separates a lot of Christians
IMO it was made by, as Father John Misty put it, "woman-hating epleptics"
It was composed by people who were inspired, but not controlled, by God, to record the teachings of the Lord
We know it has some substance to it because white Christian Europeans throughout history have been the only ones capable of developing true civilization and it's based on Christian values
The moral teachings specifically
And through that they were able to have liberty
Ignoring China
Nobody intended the Bible as a scholarly historical or scientific work
