There once was a bunny

[Gregory Thompson]

Sometimes there really is a bunny.

However, since bunnies cannot be proven theologically, but they exist .. this creates a heretical paradox.

Sure you can prove the existence of bunnies ... It's in the same "ball park" as .. "I think, therefore I AM", = I exist.
Isn't that what God said, " I AM, That I AM " = God. I can walk off my front porch in the mornings and often, bunnies will scamper away ..

Since God created all these "critters" and Adam got to name them, "Bunnies" ... and I can walk out my door and bump into a "critter" .. doesn't that prove, "Theology" ? God said ... Therefore it is ! = Theology
Ya Think?

What part of "bunnies" applies to theology ?

First find a scripture verse with bunnies in it.

So anything a person sees can be proven as Theology?

"Hare" will do the job.
Lev 11:6..."And the hare, because he cheweth the cud, but divideth not the hoof; he is unclean unto you."

The words street-car, and elevator are not...by your definition...theological either.
And that makes no difference in my daily life.

Thanks, I forgot about that verse.

Also, I think a good point has been touched on in this thread, though I did not receive an answer to my question regarding it.

Instead of using the word "theological", perhaps you should use the word "biblical".
What, by the way, is your definition of "theological" ?

Sometimes there really is a bunny.

My grandson was chasing one about as big as my fist in my backyard this very afternoon. The bunny managed to stay out of grandson's reach without too much trouble.

However, since bunnies cannot be proven theologically, but they exist .. this creates a heretical paradox.

And worse, they, a long with the groundhogs and deer, pose an existential threat to my wife's Korean vegetable garden.

I'll swap you an armadillo for it.

Biblical sounds funny when I say it, similar to Bubblical.

Theological is study of God, so the study of anything God does is within bounds. The parables are evidence of this.

Only if it can lay eggs.

Go fish.

God created rabbits, therefore rabbits are theological !
A better question may be...what is NOT theological ?

Wow are you ever confused.

Theology is indeed the study of God. You or I may believe in God, but God is a metaphysical unknown -i.e., God may or may not exist. Theological "proofs" are not proofs at all but rather attempts to show that belief in God is rational and plausible. Other theological studies assume the existence of God and attempt to put meat on the bones of the God concept.

Rabbits are part of the natural order. The natural order is the domain of science. Theology does not study the natural order or attempt to prove anything about it.

You are simply mixing apples and oranges, seemingly on the basis of a misunderstanding of what theology means and does. The existence of rabbits is no more a theological issue than it is a philosophical issue; it's a scientific issue, period.

God didn't create sin. This was introduced into creation by humans, yet this too is theological.

... because of what Jesus did.

The natural order is the domain of creation. God is the creator.

 

[BelieveItOarKnot]

Bunnies belong down the rabbit hole

Theology says God is the creator, which may or may not be true. We have convictions about God; we don't have certainty. Regardless of whether theology or atheism is true, the natural order - including rabbits - is the domain of science. You continue to mix apples and oranges.
