That kind of apologist is about as common as a unicorn.
If you were to attend Church, I think you'd find it less rare than you think.
Scientist my foot. I simply do not believe anyone trained in science would declare John 7;17 "scientific".
So it has nothing to do with models based on observations of certain phenomenon?
If John 7:17 is scientific, I have singlehandedly falsified Christianity. I "did his will" for 15 years, and in the end, knew that Jesus (and all religious leaders) aren't of any "God" and are definitely speaking for themselves.
What about all those who have come to a different conclusion? How many successful experiments have to be performed to determine there actually is something to it?
