Did You Chew the Head off of the Bunny?

[Joshua0]

As a child we are given this cute little bunny for Easter and we are told that we can eat it. Somewhere along the way that means we have to chew the head off of the cute little bunny. Perhaps this is a token of how they have to chew away at the innocence and purity of a child. We are confronted with the fact that there is violence in the world and we are a part of that violence.

The next question that we have to deal with is there order in the world? Interesting that even evolutionists find that they have to believe that there is order and they find that order in natural selection. It is at that point that evolutionists divide themselves into two camps. You have the Gould people who think that everything is random and chance. If you were to do it all over again then you would end up with results that are very different from the results that we have today. Then you have the evo devo people that believe just the opposite. You have common materials, you have all the natural laws of physics. So they think you can go anywhere in the universe and end up with pretty much the same results every time. That is why they say, evolution often makes the same choices over and over again.

Evo devos are often the theists that believe in the order and structure that we can expect in a world ordained by God. The Non theists tend toward wanting a world that does not have order. A world where you have survival of the fittest and child have to give into violence and destruction. As a Christian we learn Jesus endured the violence of Calvary so that we as a Child of God can find the peace of God. We can inherit a world that has no violence.

When I Eat Rabbit (Bunnies) I tend to just buy them from the butcher / market, and they're already sliced into parts ready for cooking

3:56 and onwards seems appropriate for this thread.

That is the road to hell, laughing all the way.

I tend to take the head off in one bite. It's a token of how much I like chocolate.

I used to love biting first the heads off jelly babies when I was a kid...but I do know the difference between them and real babies!

Bells on bob tails ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to laugh and sing
A sleighing song tonight...

Will there be room for teaching fight-or-flight on Earth2?

How about the straw-eating lion?

What will happen to Linnaeus' sacred tree of life, when the real Tree of Life comes back?

Will Darwin's, The Preservation of Favoured Races still be haled as a major scientific breakthrough?

Jesus put the priests out of a job when He came the first time.

What will happen when He puts the scientists out of a job when He comes the second time? (qv Revelation 20:9)

 

[TLK Valentine]

Jesus put the priests out of a job when He came the first time.

Funny, they seemed to still be in business for a long time after he was nailed to a cross.

What will happen when He puts the scientists out of a job when He comes the second time? (qv Revelation 20:9)

Well, if it's anything like how he allegedly put those priests out of business, I'd say the scientists have the ultimate in job security.

He'll say..You guys got it right! Thanks!

Despite a stern warning (Luke 21:5-6) from Jesus, God gave them 37 years (33-70 AD) in which they could have used the gold and silver from the Temple and retired comfortably; but they refused to do so.

When the time drew near, God did one more thing ... He had Paul write a "95 Theses" anonymously, detailing how the Levitical priesthood was now obsolete; but again, to no avail.

History tells the rest of the story.

History tells how the Hebrews led an ill-advised revolt against the Romans and were stomped flat in the ensuing retaliation. Your vain fantasies don't factor into that.

BTW -- You do realize that most scholars (whom, of course, you will tell to take a hike for daring to disagree with you) place the dating of Luke's Gospel at or around AD 70, right? But of course you do.

I always saved the head for last.

Why is that interesting?

and they find that order in natural selection. It is at that point that evolutionists divide themselves into two camps. You have the Gould people who think that everything is random and chance.

No...what is your source for this?

If you were to do it all over again then you would end up with results that are very different from the results that we have today. Then you have the evo devo people that believe just the opposite. You have common materials, you have all the natural laws of physics. So they think you can go anywhere in the universe and end up with pretty much the same results every time.

That is the weirdest definition of evo-devo I've ever seen. Again, where are you getting your information from?

Evo devos are often the theists that believe in the order and structure that we can expect in a world ordained by God. The Non theists tend toward wanting a world that does not have order.

just...so wrong

BTW -- You do realize that most scholars (whom, of course, you will tell to take a hike for daring to disagree with you) place the dating of Luke's Gospel at or around AD 70, right? But of course you do.

Several early events in Jewish-Christian history aren't mentioned in Acts: these include the destruction of the Jewish temple (70 AD), Nero's persecution of Christians (64 AD) or the deaths of the apostles James, Peter and Paul (62-65 AD). Acts is intended to be an account of christian history immediately after Jesus ascended, so it would have been very strange to leave them out.

Both Acts and the Gospel of Luke were written by the same author - we know this because they are addressed to the same person, Theophilius. Nobody is really sure who Theophilius was, but one theory is that he may have been Theophilius ben Ananus: according to Antiquities of the Jews, written by Josephus, he was the Roman-imposed high priest of the temple who lived 37-41 AD.

With that in mind it's extremely unlikely that the Gospel of Luke was written around 70 AD.

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

I don't know if I'm understanding the OP correctly, but are you saying that the Christian-visualised future (or Creationist-visualised, I'm not quite sure which) is one of eternal world peace where everyone loves everyone's neighbour and cute furry animals aren't killed by big cats on a daily basis, whereas the atheist (or "evolutionist") sees a dystopian, Warhammer 40,000-type future where "there is only war"?

Wow.

Funny, they seemed to still be in business for a long time after he was nailed to a cross.

The church began 7 weeks after the resurrection. The Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost when Peter was preaching in the upper room. None of that could have happened if Jesus had not finished His work on Calvery. At the point in time when He said: "It is finished". This was the beginning of the 2,000 year age of Grace that we are still in today.

Evo Devo is pretty much the baby of
Sean B. Carroll right now.

What does that have to do with anything? that was the beginning of what is called Times of the Gentiles.

Your vain fantasies don't factor into that.

You lost me on that one. It looks like, as usual, you're grabbing at straws to try not to understand.

BTW -- You do realize that most scholars (whom, of course, you will tell to take a hike for daring to disagree with you) place the dating of Luke's Gospel at or around AD 70, right? But of course you do.

Again, what's your point? what I quoted in my post was written in 1611.

Are you saying it didn't happen?

Nobody is really sure who Theophilius was, but one theory is that he may have been Theophilius ben Ananus: according to Antiquities of the Jews, written by Josephus, he was the Roman-imposed high priest of the temple who lived 37-41 AD.

With that in mind it's extremely unlikely that the Gospel of Luke was written around 70 AD.

Indeed -- if that particular theory is true, then it would be unlikely. Other theories which suggest that Theophilius is not Theophilius ben Ananus include one that says the term is a mistranslation -- rather that being addressed to a person with that particular name, the name's translation -- "Lover of God" was suggested instead.

With that in mind the possibility that it was written around AD 70 is less unlikely.

It's history -- which has nothing to do with your fanciful imaginings.

You lost me on that one.

Not surprising.

Give yourself credit, AV -- you make it easy.

Again, what's your point? what I quoted in my post was written in 1611.

Are you saying it didn't happen?

Something written in AD 1611 "prophecized" something that happened in AD 70? Take a moment and think about that one, AV -- I'm sure an answer will come to you.
