Going back to the OP of long ago…
Why do Fundamentalist believe Biblical calculations of the seventeenth century over scientific facts presented today.
Let’s look at this assessment of fact versus truth. One way a fact is described: 1+1=2. There is only one possible result…it is a proven truth. On the other hand 2=1+1 is true, but it is not a fact, because 2 could equal infinite possibilities (think along the lines 2=6-4–and infinite possibilities that also equal 2).
One of the definitions of truth is fidelity to the original standard. Fundamentalists have fidelity to the original standard.
What Fundamentalists cannot (by definition) argue is that their truths are facts, simply because there are other possibilities–just like there are other possibilities that 2=something other than 1+1.
Same with your latest reasoning. You might have fidelity to your own truth and understanding that the Bible teaches men should “rule” over women. But, as been demonstrated, it is not fact because plainly there are other possibilities which have been explained to you.
