QV please (thanks, Frumious Bandersnatch, for your excellent work here) --- 2.Silly me, what was my earlier objection for?
Literalist approach: God gives life to the inanimate by breathing on it.
TE approach: God gives life to the inanimate through his ordained natural process of chemistry.
You were just incorrect, AV, but never mind, eh?
QV please (thanks, Frumious Bandersnatch, for your excellent work here) --- 2.
Those "ordained processes of chemistry" are a little out of sync, aren't they?
Did I not just show you where He can use rocks?(Why did God have to use dust anyway?
Maybe you should watch "Cosmic Voyage." It's narrated by Morgan Freeman; who can say no to that? It'll probably tickle you when he says "Whatever is beyond the edge of the visible universe, we cannot see... and do not know," because I know how you love to bring that up.QV please (thanks, Frumious Bandersnatch, for your excellent work here) --- 2.

And in doing so, would be performing abiogeneis.Did I not just show you where He can use rocks?
You do know what rocks are, don't you?
And not only that, but can implant the Hebrew's genetic code into them with no problem?
Here's the thing, Cabal --- (I'm going to speak as a TE for a moment here):Out of sync with what? Genesis 1?
Not my problem - I'm not a "literalist."
Ignoring your ignorant labeling, what's the problem?Here's the thing, Cabal --- (I'm going to speak as a TE for a moment here):
In atheistic doctrine, if you reverse engineer life, it stops at the inanimate.
But, in TE doctrine, if you reverse engineer life, you can take it one step further than the inanimate --- to God.
You guys don't have to go to the edge of the visible universe to encounter what isn't seen --- you can't see it right here on earth.Maybe you should watch "Cosmic Voyage." It's narrated by Morgan Freeman; who can say no to that? It'll probably tickle you when he says "Whatever is beyond the edge of the visible universe, we cannot see... and do not know," because I know how you love to bring that up.
2 Kings 6:17 said:And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Science is worse than myopic in this area --- science is blind.Hebrews 13:2 said:Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Abiogenesis does not entail giving life TO rocks, replete with DNA coding of an existing nation.And in doing so, would be performing abiogeneis.
No problem at all --- let me say it again:Ignoring your ignorant labeling, what's the problem?
Did I not just show you where He can use rocks?
You do know what rocks are, don't you?
And not only that, but can implant the Hebrew's genetic code into them with no problem?
Do you now?I suspect I know rocks quite a bit better than you do.
Oh, I won't --- believe me.I also have some limited experience with mineral surface chemistry, but don't let that stand in your way.
Wow --- byproducts of petrology can make a car go.(hint: an appreciation of mineral surface chemistry helps not only understand how gasoline is made for your car, but also how life might have arisen, which helps overcome the usual "creationist personal incredulity"...but if you bothered to learn any of that you might lose your incredulity and you'd have to face the real world. Rocks and all.
Maybe you have rocks saying things that Jesus says they say otherwise:I like the way "rocks" are so useful to you when you read the word in the bible, but when the rocks speak a billion volumes of data that indicate literal Genesis might be in error, well, suddenly those holy rocks can take a hike.
Luke 19:40 said:And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
Well, the second is what actually happened. God can easily have caused it.Abiogenesis does not entail giving life TO rocks, replete with DNA coding of an existing nation.
Once again, abiogenesis would be life coming FROM rocks.
How's come I happen to know though, that rocks would hold a genetic code if God ordained it?
I know --- it wouldn't be a rock anymore --- it would be a Hebrew --- but that's one doosey of a metamorphic rock, eh?
Do they teach that in science church?
byproducts of petrology can make a car go.
Let's see one make a human being.
And what does it mean when you use "understand" and "might" in the same sentence?
Here's the thing, Cabal --- (I'm going to speak as a TE for a moment here):
In atheistic doctrine, if you reverse engineer life, it stops at the inanimate.
But, in TE doctrine, if you reverse engineer life, you can take it one step further than the inanimate --- to God.
Either that, or there's no such a thing as abiogenesis.Looks like a concerted attempt to leave Cabal and other theist evolutionists in a state of perpetual face-palm.
Or perhaps our driveby creationists are performing a church ordered duty, like Jehovah's Witnesses who must accomplish a certain number of doorway visits.
