  • Is the truth value of a group of statements an all-or-nothing thingamawhatsit?

    One of the most common defenses I've seen for things like biblical inerrancy is "well if part of the bible isn't true then how do you decide what parts are true?", often by the same people who e.g. embrace Martin Luther's writings except for that whole anti-semitism thing. Hence this thread.

    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned
