    Why Believe the Bible?

    And do we see speciation within the "basic kinds"? One last note here. Yes, "species" and "kind" parted ways in terms of definitions early in the nineteenth century. Speciation is a result of variation with mating preferences attached. It is the mating preferences which are the kicker...

    Why Believe the Bible?

    Thanks, busterdog. Yes, I am logging off now. Videotaping for the series of DVD's which are going to be done of Barry's material starts this evening and with the holidays as well, not to mention the attitude of so many here, I've got a lot of other things to spend my energies on. But I...

    This is probably my last post here, as other activities have a much higher priority. However I would like to point out that after a number of posts of slander, KerrMetric has not bothered to substantiate what he said about Barry's work or Barry himself. That is telling. And secondly, I...

    Looking for a theology expert!!!

    I believe John, and I understand a little of what he is saying. However, in Romans 5, Paul is being extremely direct. Again, if the 'one man' Adam is not literal, then neither is the 'one man' Jesus Christ, for the two are held in direct contrast to one another in that chapter. I believe...

    Looking for a theology expert!!!

    Paul also speaks about the man, Jesus, and his bride, the church. If Jesus' bride isn't one woman, does that mean Jesus isn't one man? Or, is it possible for comparisons to not be completely equal on both sides? Paul is making an extremely direct comparison in Romans 5. One man this, one man...

    Looking for a theology expert!!!

    Well, both the Old and New Testaments refer to Adam as a real human being. So I'll go with the Bible.

    Looking for a theology expert!!!

    Paul does not say the "one man" was a literal man. That is your interpretation of his words. How do you know Paul would agree with you? Well, he contrasts the one man who brought sin into the world with the one Man who reversed it. If Adam was not one man, then Jesus wasn't either. But the...

    Why Believe the Bible?

    Define "kind" in scientific terms, please. Do you want me to say 'sure, as soon as you can define any of the following: kingdom phylum class order family genus Or I can just tell you that the biblical 'kind' probably is fairly close to our modern taxonomic level of 'family' in most cases.

    KerrMetric You are something else! 1. You at least should spell Roemer right. 2. What was fraudulent about Barry's presentation? 3. Other physicists seem to be interested in Barry's work and we even know their names, unlike who you are with your vitriolic comments. 4. You are...

    Looking for a theology expert!!!

    rmwilliamsll --there was no ad hominem intended and I apologize if it seemed that way. Your references were all to theologians. I wanted to get back to the Bible itself. Tinker Grey -- sin is disobedience, by definition. Each person obeys or disobeys on his or her own. I cannot disobey...

    Why Believe the Bible?

    Maybe notto doesn't need the mathematics, but I would be interested in seeing the calculations. Would you mind posting them or the article where they can be found? With my apologies, I don't know where they can be found now. They were in my text in the course on population genetics many...

    Why Believe the Bible?

    The essential question is how much time you believe is encapsulated in the Genesis description of a day. It is amazing that so much rhetoric hangs on one simple word. Genesis states it quite clearly. It is defined by evening and morning. Eras do not have evenings and mornings. Evening and...

    Looking for a theology expert!!!

    gluadys, that is fine to say that Paul referred to Adam specifically when he actually meant men generally, but what on earth are you then going to do with "But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift...

    Looking for a theology expert!!!

    rmwilliamsll, I have a really weird suggestion. Instead of looking at what everyone else says about the Bible and what it means, let's actually look at what the Bible says. Turn to Ezekiel 18, please "The soul who sins is the one who will die. ...Yet you ask, 'Why does the son not share in...

    I just told Barry you called him (and Lambert) a crank and a fraud. He grinned and hugged me and said, "What? Again?" Please, you should let the Stanford Research Institute International know that one of their senior physicists from a few years ago was a crank and a fraud (that's Lambert...
