Moderator TrueFreedom Posted August 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2012 Let's kick this off with a few classics: "How it may be Lawful and Fitting to use Falsehood as a Medicine, and for the Benefit of those who Want to be Deceived." Saint Jerome, 12th Book Of Evangelical Preparation "It will be necessary sometimes to use falsehood as a remedy for the benefit of those who require such treatment." Saint Eusebius, The Preparation of the Gospel "It is by all means to be believed, because it is absurd....the fact is certain because it is impossible." Tertullian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is in the Bible, it is already true without requiring additional proof." Bob Jones University Biology Student Text (3rd ed. Vol 2) "By definition, no apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any field, including history and chronology, can be valid if it contradicts the Scriptural record." Ken Ham (Answers In Genesis statement of faith) "No geological difficulties, real or imagined, can be allowed to take precedence over the clear statements and necessary inferences of scripture."

Moderator TrueFreedom Posted August 25, 2012 Author Moderator Share Posted August 25, 2012 "The first proposition, that the sun is the centre and does not revolve around the earth, is foolish, absurd, false in theology, and heretical, because expressly contrary to Holy Scripture. The second proposition, that the earth is not the centre but revolves around the sun, is absurd, false in philosophy, and from a theological point of view at least, opposed to the true faith." The Holy Inquisition, in judgement of Galileo, 1616 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
