"I believe the reason you infer mocking is that it is a particularly apt analogy and you don't like it. I can't help how you feel reading my post(s).

Nope. You correctly saw the flaw in your side of the analogy after I spelled it out for you. When you associate rational criterion to your position of a 'too hot room', it is perfectly sensible. However you deliberately leave rational criterion off when discussing beliefs and make a flawed comparison. One that is simple mockery. Your presentation(s) here have certainly been in a mocking tone and your denial of that is more revealing than the text you contribute on the subject.

"I believe the reason you infer mocking is that it is a particularly apt analogy and you don't like it. I can't help how you feel reading my post(s).

So you make infantile analogies of people who use scientific method to gain knowledge of the world and categorize believers as people who are represented by your and ionesco's chortling over the Noah's arc story...as being representative. ... tsk believers are so dumb because they can't get that, right?

Your characterisations of believers is utterly odd and reveals your own defensiveness about 'being' ... human.

The criterion for your representations of believers are that you ignore these facts, for starters:

1)Many intellectal scholars with sound and rational arguments are believers and you ignore these arguments.
2)You interpret scriptural doctrine in the most fractal and parced manner (and the people you mock) and purport that straw man to be representative of believers.
3)You must assume there are no differences between parabolic teaching, historical fact, and prophesy.
4)You contrast scientific method to believing when the fact is you must have a belief that something is or isn't likely to be true before you can study it at all. You have closed your mind to a very essential element of your own humanity, the study of your own eternal beingness and ability to imagine your own 'isness'.
