    Is homosexuality harmful to society?

    Suppose someone said that lesbian women have no chance of getting pregnant from a heterosexual male, and someone else pointed out the possibility of getting pregnant through rape. Would it be reasonable to accuse the person pointing out the possibility of rape of demonizing all heterosexual...

    Is homosexuality harmful to society?

    Is homosexuality harmful to society?

    As if rape never happens. Do you really expect us to believe that?

    The Biblical Theology of Science

    So you are so offended that I won't answer a question about an impossible hypothetical that you refuse to continue the conversation on a more rational basis? If one's premises are wrong, one should not throw tantrums that others refuse to answer questions based on false premises. Perhaps one...

    The Biblical Theology of Science

    You seem to be ignoring the repeated answer that science does not go out the window, but that the sphere and boundaries of science are bounded in such a way that real science cannot contradict Scripture. Perhaps you are capable of grasping that science must be wrong in all cases where it seems...

    The Biblical Theology of Science

    So if science can trump an interpretation of Scripture, answer these questions: 1. Is it your interpretation of Scripture that homosexuality is a sin? 2. If at some future time, the overwhelming consensus of scientists is that some homosexuals are definitely born gay, would you revise your...

    The Biblical Theology of Science

    The false claim that naturalistic interpretations of history contradict Scripture has already been answered. It may be that some people are conveniently ignoring the answer that has already been given. One wonders why someone might be slow to acknowledge Jesus' testimony as an eyewitness to...

    The right approach is to let Scripture interpret Scripture and "let every matter be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses." Based on Genesis alone (a single witness), there might be room for doubting the doctrines of a six day creation, man and woman being created at the...

    The Biblical Theology of Science

    Having earned a PhD in science and published over 100 scholarly papers and studied science for many decades as well as studying Scripture for many decades, I am not aware of a single instance where a valid conclusion of operational science disagrees with Scripture. Without a tangible example...

    The Biblical Theology of Science

    You appear to be ignorant of the distinction between operational science and historical reconstructions based on the presupposition of naturalism. The questions of origins are fundamentally historical. The questions of whether the earth is round and whether it goes around the sun is...

    The Biblical Theology of Science

    Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The word of God does not change. "The current scientific understanding" is usually a consensus of fallen man. Which do you trust, the consensus of fallen man, or the infallible word of God? Most purported "conflicts" are not really...
