Balance_Maintained,
Thanks for the comment and I greatly appreciate that you read the whole thing. Bravo! lol I know it’s long and very few people finish my long posts. I think I need to start handing out prizes or something...
As for your criticism specifically, I don’t get it. Marshall’s argument was whether or not Christians teach that “unquestioning faith is a virtue.” This argument by Marshall or my reply has nothing to do with science so it seems you misread what both I and Marshall said. In answer to his argument I cited the bible as arguing that everyone should do nothing but trust in the teachings of Jesus and not to listen to what anyone else has to say. That’s a pretty clear statement that contradicts Marshall’s claim. And I follow that up with quoting an early Christian saying essentially the same thing.
