[QUOTE="Dancefly, post: 2563819, member: 818999"] Some of your statements are examples of what psychologists call "confirmation bias." That is, you are unconsciously selecting out of your environment the events that confirm your pre-conceived opinions and ignoring contrary evidence. The Bible may say that the earth hangs upon nothing, but it also tells the story of a worldwide flood when there is not a shred of geological evidence for such a flood. And, of course, it also speaks of a talking snake. Other of your statements are examples of a lack of critical thinking skills. Regarding the placement of the earth, where else would you expect life to appear but on a planet having conditions favorable to life? [/QUOTE]
