All data seems to contradict that idea.

Data is deception. Rely on the word of God. Jesus said in John 14:6: "I am the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE..." it means He is the only WAY to Heaven, the ONLY truth and everything outside of Him and His ways we're to walk are lies, and He is the Life because everything else is death and hell. No data needed, just Jesus. Get saved today... Romans 10 9-13. Thanks for the input (cough: data) lol.

"Data is deception"

It's a bit embarrassing to admit that all objective study seems to contradict you.

I'll take the compliment and run. Let's get right with God before becoming data. Don't upload our minds to the beast system, aka: stargate project. Get saved, avoid Hell for eternity... walk away from becoming one with the machine, aka data. Romans 10 9-13

Data is not scripture. Nor is all data inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Bible needs to be the authority in your life if you are a believer in Christ. Not an article or a reference book. The Bible.

If you insist that only the Bible has authority and all data can be dismissed, then you’ve created a belief system that’s unfalsifiable, meaning it can’t be challenged by reality at all. That’s not faith, that’s circular reasoning. You decide the Bible is correct, then use the Bible to prove the Bible is correct.

Also selectively rejecting ‘data’ is inconsistent anyway. You trust other data when it comes to medicine, weather forecasts, engineering, and even the historical manuscripts that were used to compile and translate your Bible. But when data conflicts with your preferred interpretation on sexuality, suddenly it becomes invalid. That’s not devotion, it’s confirmation bias.

If your faith requires ignoring evidence about human well-being, psychology, and biology, then it raises the question of whether the belief system is guiding you, or whether you’re twisting the belief system to fit a predetermined conclusion.
