I think what I said -- or at least MEANT, was that I could not think of any
way in which anything in scripture was falsifiable. I may well be wrong
though.
Glenn continued: "For me, everything is falsifiable. If it isn't, then how
can I have any reason to believe it is true. If I went your way, I might as
well be a YEC. If my interpretation of the Bible is unfalsifiable (as they
clearly believe, then it makes no difference whether I believe YEC or OEC."
I am unable to understand this. Everything? The serpent says to Adam "you
shall not die." Under what circumstances could you falsify the assertion
that the serpent actually said those words?
Nor can I understand why, if you went "my way," that is, I suppose,
regarding Gen 1-11 as largely or wholly myth, that you'd see no difference
between YEC and OEC. That does not compute.
