Another option: Provisional science has convinced them. Remember, science by its own definition is provisional and limited to our 5 senses, 3 dimensions and time. Science is not competent to address the supernatural.

A powerful must see video:

The Magician’s Twin: C.S. Lewis and the Case against Scientism

The Similarity Between Science and Magic
  1. Science as religion
  2. Science as credulity
  3. Science as power

So the Truth is subject to a vote by the currently living Bishops and magically changes depending on how they vote?

It tells me almost nothing at all. It tells me that you have claimed, without conducting a survey, to know the beliefs of 5000 different people. It tells me you think Truth is subjective. It tells me you don’t understand logical fallacies.
 
Which do you think is a better bet?

To wager WITH 100% of the worlds 5,000 Bishops on a theological topic?

Or wager AGAINST 100% of the worlds Bishops?

What legitimate reason do you have for suspecting that every Bishop on earth, including the Pope, is not just a little wrong, but VASTLY mistaken about this?
 
Its all interesting but we dont get to heaven for reading Genesis the right way, it only comes down to Jesus
 
But we prevent others from going to heaven when we read Genesis in a way which is utterly incompatible with science.

You cannot fathom the harm done by Young Earth Creation to Christianity.

Do you have any idea how idiotic we look to the world when we claim the earth is 6,000 years old?

Christians are a laughingstock because many people think all Christians believe the world is 6,000 years old. Yet only a small very vocal minority believes that.

You made th me original claim, so you support it. We’ll need statements from Moses (on his intentions when writing Genesis) and also provide enough evidence to support the claim that the Church has NEVER taught Genesis historically.

I think argumentum ad populum is a fallacy. I also think you have yet to conduct a survey of 100% of the world’s bishops.

Loaded question. You still haven’t provided evidence for the claim.

Geology, archaeology, paleontology, cosmology, astronomy, biology, botany, genetics, physics.

These are just a few of the sciences you would have to discard entirely to be a young earth creationist.

It is an absurd position to the nth degree that is absolutely indefensible in the modern world.
 
The flip side of this is scientism which is most prevalent today.
 
It’s reasonable to assume Bishops accept the findings of modern science.

If a Bishop was going to condemn the entire scientific world by becoming a YEC, I’m pretty sure we’d know about it.

You’re the one claiming every scientist on earth is wrong. The impetus is on you.

Show me one single Bishop who is a young earther.

Just one.

Out of over 5,000
 
None of this has been proven empirically, that is observable, repeatable and predictable. The modern view is a world view based on philosophy and is its own religion.
 
I find it hard to believe you’ve ever really studied Young Earth creationism at all.

Especially because so far you’ve just provided unsourced assertions, argumentum ad populum, and said you’re afraid of being laughed at.
 
No, it’s not.

It’s based on so much science you could spend the rest of your life reading the proof and never reach the end.

Would you like me to start linking you to the millions of scientific studies proving the Universe is 13,800,000,000 years old and the earth is 4,540,000,000 years old?
 
I studied it extensively when I was younger, ages 21-25.

I discarded it as absurd and never looked back several years ago.

That does not qualify as evidence for your assertion.

Another wild claim without sourcing. Unless you define “scientist” as “one who agrees with evolution” in which case you’re using the fallacy of begging the question.

You’re the one who claims to be intimately aware of their opinions.
 
Looks like it’s written by a priest.

Where do you see Bishop Vasa?
 
10:43 mark “Lewis pointed out that in the modern world people will believe almost anything if is dressed up in the name of science”
 
Like I said, it is a reasonable assumption that every Bishop accepts the findings of science.

Do you think any Bishops believe the earth is flat?
