@wolfgang59 saidYet another faith claim.😃
Sorry.
I should have said;
"As anyone who has given it some thought knows -
given enough time and enough paint the Mona Lisa could
be produced by the random play of chimpanzees."
@kellyjay saidHow did you miss the stuff I put in brackets?!
You realize that simply saying there was a beginning you have ruled out one of the choices.
@wolfgang59 saidImpossible to test this hypothesis.
As we all know given enough time and enough paint the Mona Lisa
could be produced by the random play of chimpanzees.
@moonbus saidAfter thinking about it this is still not a valid reason to disbelieve them for the reasons already stated, time and opportunities for corruption would be spotted due to the numbers scattered everywhere. Your possible cause here for not accepting them isn't as valid as you have made them out to be. Have you watched to lecture on all of the other reasons these are considered viable? There were several so called books that did looked like they were made up, didn't have the same level of authenticity those didn't make into the Bible.
The oldest complete copy dates from the 13th c. Only fragments survive from earlier times. Plenty of opportunities to redact, mistranslate, mis-copy, delete, add, etc.
@dj2becker saidDo you believe one stroke of paint can be randomly placed on a canvas?

@wolfgang59 saidSure but to paint Mona Lisa requires some form of intelligent intervention and precision.

@wolfgang59 saidWould the baboons require any intelligence to paint this masterpiece of yours?
faith in what?
@dj2becker saidThe painting analogy is always rather silly. You simply can't compare that to organic life and its evolution over time.

@wolfgang59 saidThe question should be can randomly placed paint on a canvass form the Mona Lisa masterpiece without intelligent intervention. You require intelligence just to make the paint so your analogy already fails at the first hurdle.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidA brush with paint on it could fall off something and hit it. You make that brush draw a picture or write a word than you have to have ID.
Oh dear. An unintended capitulation.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidPainting is much simpler than a lifeform, if you cannot get a painting why would you think a lifeform could evolve over time, it wasn't like you were there to watch it happen?
