Seems like a metaphor for the Rapture for me. Interesting too that the kids came with you!

By the sounds of it, Todd Wood is not actively pursuing evolutionary explanations as his preferred interpretation of observed phenomenon. I was just reading one of his papers... A baraminology tutorial with examples from the grasses (Poaceae) - creation.com

As good a talk as I have heard on the subject:-

The best talk (and I have heard a lot) on the subject. God bless.

I think Stephen Anderson makes a similar argument. Just catching up on some of the YouTube channels I follow, I came across this...

I think this song manages to convey the moment we live in perfectly...

Did you read it?

It really is a good read. The bit I quote below is just scratching the surface. Does it conclusively prove that the falling away is not just spiritual apostasy? Perhaps not, but balance of probability based on the wider examination of the use of the same language in other passages indicates to...

Interesting question, a short read and definitely worth consideration and the timeline hinges on what "apostasia" means, the other contexts in which it is used etc... The Day of the Lord will not come unless the "falling away" comes first, according to 2 Thessalonians 2:3. What is this...

Very clearly put - thanks!

@Judy H "This needs a whole different thread, but Catholics do not believe that revelation is limited to the Bible. The question is whether God is still revealing His truth to His people or whether that stopped after the Bible as we know it was assembled." This difference in authority is...

One could almost be forgiven for thinking Catholicism was older than the Bible... I go back to scripture for my understanding and bypass where I find disagreement the accumulated "Church Fathers" and pronouncements of "Infallible (ex Cathedra of course) popes.

Ok... What are we to make of the following facts then? "Jesus' brothers and sisters. The Gospel of Mark 6:3 and the Gospel of Matthew 13:55–56 state that James, Joses (or Joseph), Jude and Simon were the brothers of Jesus, the son of Mary. The same verses also mention unnamed sisters of Jesus."

Didn't Jesus have siblings?!

As a general point on how to read texts, I think what John Piper says here is very incisive...
