We’ve reached an impasse in belief then.

We’ve reached an impasse in belief then.

Sure we have. But, consider the following:

The Bible mentions camels, donkeys, doves, snakes, and a few other species. It does not mention zebras, iguanas, or praying mantis. To use your logic, none of the other critters exist simply because they are not mentioned.

That can be extended to the Chinese, because they are not mentioned either.

How about electricity, magnetism, or cosmic rays? They also don't exist in your model. Are earthy biological entities made up of cells, and rely on chemical processes, or is this all nonsense because that wasn't described in the Bible? The Bible didn't describe the biological organisms on this planet; and, you don't they exist elsewhere for the same reason? This seems like truly flawed logic and perhaps psychology.

How do you selectively believe in some things that are not specifically mentioned in the Bible, but not others?
