Do you guys think that the resurrection and ascension to heaven was a supernatural event (ie does it defy natural laws)? Or, could god have caused the resurrection (and ascension to heaven) to happen via natural laws? And even more importantly, do you have any sources to professional...

Was this extensive literature inspired by God? Or was it written by men who use systems of inquiry that they devised on their own? The literature I refer to was inspired by God.

From that site: "still unresolved debate over the origin of one of nature's most elegant inventions: the feather" Science fiction is fun! Take pictures of real birds, fossilized feathers, questionable empressions that allegedly show feathers on dinosaurs and presto - Evolution is a fact!!!

Not a conspiracy as much as a delusion. In other words, you can't tell me how God participates in reality?

How does He participate?

I guess I should have expected a TD to sidestep the point I was making. You believe that God gives you daily bread and forms you in your mother's womb? How? Hasn't science figured out how those things happen? Maybe you can explain to me in detail how the TDs here think God actually...

Huh? TDs who believe God kick started everything then let things work themselves out are more theistic than those who think that God personally hand crafted the things in the universe and directly intervened to create things such as the diversity of language? We must have a different...

LOL ROFL therefore dark matter may exist...ya right And I think we should have a good look for invisible purple energy (not light) before we make any hasty decisions about whether or not it exists. In fact, the government should give me a grant with your tax money to allow me to look for it...

Could be...I'll just stick with using TD. You guys just need to stop talking like deists.

Theistic darwinism science rules!!! We may believe in God, but we don't actually use Him to explain anything we observe. I think the new term to use may be DD (Deistic Darwinist)

Brilliant!! I love how science always ends up showing the truth of God's word. I love you for posting this!!! "Falling apart" is a subjective opinion on how they "ought" to be. I think God made things the way He wanted to, diversity is good. That's very fancy, but it can't be tested. We don't...

I thought populations evolved, not individuals? :scratch: Then the context of the creation story with the garden, Eve, and the serpent becomes meaningless. Do you also think that one of his sons committed the first murder? Wouldn't that also have to be Eve's son? Doesn't evolution teach that...

This is the point, it was written with a mindset that Adam was a historical person, that he was the person that sin entered the world through (him and Eve). This grasping at straws that I hear from the TDs where you guys try desperately to relate figurative interpretations to Paul's mindset are...

gluadys, I appreciate the response. It seems that a more thorough understanding of Greek and Hebrew would be required to get the meaning that you are trying to get out of it. Do most Christians in the world learn this advanced knowledge? Why would God write us a letter that requires this kind...

I'll respond to more of your post later, but for now I'd like a clearer response to my question (though maybe my question needs rephrasing). I know that Paul believed God created us, but while you keep insisting he didn't believe in a literal Adam, what I want to know is what else would he have...

It's interesting that the TDs always combat scripture, the word of God, with what the early church fathers said, the word of men. Are the early church fathers prophets whos words we must adhere to? Or should we focus on what the bible said instead?

I don't pretend to understand the universe.

Paul was a pharisee prior to his conversion, and he sought a fake "higher" understanding of scripture. It led him to persecute those who read it in the plain meaning. The "higher" understanding that TDs have (theistic darwinists) is not an understanding that most people who read the bible will...

I hung myself with what? A blunt observation of your continued failure to address the things I've said? Does that mean you're gonna get me now? (I'm scared now, MacNeil is after me and nobody messes with him and gets away with it.) I don't think that the bible speaks to this specifically. For...

Excellent non-sequitur, as if the fact that I'm using technology means that my statement about Jesus is somehow moot. But I appreciate how you sidestepped everything else and clung to this logical fallacy as a last resort, maybe I'm getting through to you in these short few posts.
