[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 209957, member: 195"] It seems you're deflecting. I was replying to your statement about me thinking I'm an expert "on all topics." Your background has no bearing on your claim about me. However, I do respect that this post better responds to my earlier post. I agree that mainline majority scholarship is not fundamentalist. I also agree that fundamentalist positions are not strong. However, I was responding to your assertion that they reject it for a reason. You see, the mainline majority is, in fact, weaker in important ways. I don't think their reasons hold up well. My point was that you referenced them as if their authority was unassailable, which fits the pattern. Unlike others, I don't think people are idiots for simply accepting expert opinion by faith. I just think they should admit it. Consider if someone responded to you by saying no reputable university which actually takes the Bible seriously has any higher critics and has many fundamentalists: Liberty, Dallas, Moody, Wheaton. Don't you agree that that's a meaningless, question begging post? When you define expert, whether on the Bible or climate, by holding a particular view or belonging to the academy which promotes a certain view, then it's circular reasoning to use them as the expert opinion on that view. Yet, it seems to me that you keep doing it. What's the problem with either just admitting that you accept the liberal line by faith or answering my simple questions about your opinion on climate data from earlier? [/QUOTE]
