Lets say you walk into a room. The rooom is covered with blood stains on the walls with a kniife on
the floor. This knife too, is soaked in blood. Next to the knife, lies a motionless body, with several
visibile knife wounds in the body. Now, lets say that there is a person standing next to the body.
This person has blood over his hands, blood spattered on his face, and a smirk on his face as he
looks down at the body. Forensice evidence later will even prove his fingerprints are on the knife.
BUT, there also happens to be a letter on the floor next to the body. You open the letter and it reads
as follows:
"Hello, my name is (insert female name here) and I have sacrficed myself. The person standing
over my body has nothing to do with my death and he was a mere witness. I am the only one that
has anything to do with my death and I take full responsibilty for it. The reason for the fingerprints on
the knife is because this man was using the knife earlier to cut some tomatoes."
Now according to the text evidence given to us next to the body, this lady killed herself. And given
we did not actually witness any murder, then we must assume that this man did not kill her. We must
assume this despite any and all evidence of the murder right there. Since no one witnessed this
except this "innocent" man... the murder never happened right? Wrong. This is very similar to the
so-called logic of the Bible and its explanation of the creation of the earth. The Bible says that the
earth is 6000 years old and that God created this Earth and Heaven in 6 days and man was
created within those 6 days. Even though we have evidnce such as carbon dating, which easily
proves that the earth is roughly 4.5 billion years old. Despite evidence such as fossil records that
prove that there was life on Earth well over 6000 years ago. We must refute all of this evidence that
is laid out in front of us because after all....someone left a letter saying otherwise.
