I don't think we disagree.
What I wondered was whether humy's line of thinking was 'logically fallacial' (if there is such a phrase) from the perspective of what tim88 wrote, rather than what you presumed he meant. humys post obviously did not contain any logical fallacies.
I then set out how someone might construe this line of reasoning as bein ...[text shortened]... It makes God look as if he views human life as if we were characters in a Dan Brown novel.
However I like to also point out that even if you do assume that the vague passages in the

that the bible was divinely inspired.
Because otherwise you land up in an endless debate over whether the verses are clear or not.
I Like to make it clear from the get go that it doesn't matter the argument still doesn't hold.
