This statement has nothing to do with this discussion. The arguments about "which translation" and "God's handwriting" are filed under "Which religion is the true religion?" and they have no bearing on whether atheism vs. deism.  [[User:Everwill|Everwill]] 11:48, 26 April 2007 (EDT)

::The copies and translations of the Bible are very accurate, and accurate enough to know what God was saying.  And the phrase "every translation through time" is quite misleading, as mot current English Bibles have been translated directly from the original languages, i.e. a one-step translation.  It couldn't get much better than that.  [[User:Philip J.

I'm not prepared to defend the Bible as the "word of God", but I think it's an important question to examine, but I think it's a pointless discussion with those who haven't realized that there is a God.  All your Bible proves to them is that someone wrote something a long time ago.

Since all of the universe occurred out of good luck (according to Flippin), can we humans influence Luck? Should we attempt to commune with Luck? Do you think that hundreds of thousands of years ago, men (equally smart) pondered these same questions (since they didn't have a TV to occupied their evenings).  Do you think luck, or perhaps Luck, resulted in the strange coincidence that after many generations the consensus view in every culture and society has always been that we can affect our luck by a combination of worshipping Luck and doing good things?  [[User:Everwill|Everwill]] 11:55, 26 April 2007 (EDT)
