I'm not arguing for or against, just saying that there is no path on deciding what the author meant because we don't even know who wrote it and they are long dead anyway. And there is nothing to study in nature because it was all fiction.

Sorry if you got the impression that I am Christian. I am atheist and believe that we have to avoid resorting to the same kind of fantasy arguments that theists use.

That is why I feel that throwing out conjectures as if they were facts is contrary to a sound reasoning necessary to overcome theist thinking.

Thank you for taking time to look up the knowledge that are the basis of your argument.

I remain unconvinced because just the possibility of another meaning does not pose a convincing case for that alternate meaning to be the "correct" one.

The notion that there is a correct version of the story that is different than the current bible interpretation is probably also harmful because it entertains the possibility that any version is correct. But I think knowing the current version of the fantasy story is probably good so you can take it to pieces if necessary.

No, thanks. Your turn.

Do you have a source on your claim? Why do you say this when it's completely false? You are spreading misinformation.

The important feat is making yourself into a person that the other person would like to have in their life and makes their life better.

AFAIK without any greenhouse gasses the temperature would be about -18 °C so 20% of about 45 is 9° C which is a drop from +25 to about +16 which is quite cold but not exactly humanity ending cold, right?

[-] ra1d3n@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I assume that the other greenhouse gasses would still be plenty good at their job. Why do you assume that the drop would be catastrophic?

Still makes the world better, just not for humans ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
