:A very brief answer:  In your first paragraph, you are drawing conclusions on the basis of premises that are not accepted by Christians who believe the Bible in inerrant, and you have not shown those premises to be true.  In your second paragraph, you are claiming to know what God would think is the best thing to do, and what you consider reasonable.  Perhaps He sees it differently to you.  The first sentence of your third paragraph amounts to an assertion with no substance.  [[User:Philip J.

::(i) You mean that people do not believe that the bible was written over thousands of years by different authors? Where did it come from then?

:: (ii) If I cannot know the mind of God, then how can anyone? In which case how do ''you'' know what I claim about the mind of God isn't true? Surely by claiming that the bible (which you take to be the word of God) is true, ''you'' are claiming to know the mind of God, and are therefore guilty of what I stand accused.
 +
:: (iii) I am not asserting anything in the last sentence; I am denying an assertion made by others on the basis of a logical argument carried out in the two paragraphs  above.
