how so?Because the Bible is inflammatory
how cuteTiny Tim, the Terrible Tyrannosaurus?
What a classy response.
I do not know how my thread became a theological argument...
It has absolutely nothing to do with the word universe.
I do not know how my thread became a theological argument...oh well, I enjoy reading the posts nonetheless
This is total nonsense.I don't suppose you've noticed the word "universe" isn't in the Bible?
And since God created the universe, the universe is God's creation.
And since "creature" (creat[e]-[t]ure) means "creation," then "creature" means "universe".
How do they put that?
If A=B and B=C, then A=C.
It's called: the transitive property of equality.
Certain posters will do anything to divert certain threads from their courses, especially threads that challenge their theological position with facts.
This is total nonsense.
Here is something novel for you to try, go look up the words "universe" and "creature" in the dictionary and tell me if they are interchangeable.
Sure thing.
Let's start with the online etymology dictionary, shall we?
creature
c. 1300, "anything created," hence "a thing" in general, animate or not, but most commonly "a living being," from Old French creature "created being; all creation" (Modern French créature), from Late Latin creatura "a thing created; the creation; a creature," from creatus, past participle of Latin creare "to make, bring forth, produce, beget," from PIE root *ker- (2) "to grow."
But that can take a hike too, can't it?
Do you find it odd that you are quoting the pre-Jacobean etymology of a word used in what you claim is the original language of humanity?
Not at all.
Do YOU find it odd having the transitive property of equality take a hike?
What are you talking about?
This is a complete non-sequitur and doesn't fit anything anyone has been talking about.Universal entropy.
One of the outcomes of Adam's sin is that the whole universe is now in a state of entropy, as Paul attests to.
Whatever.He even goes a step further.
Notice Paul says it "groans"?
One of the outcomes of Adam's sin is that the whole universe is now in a state of entropy, as Paul attests to.
the second law of thermodynamics says that entropy always increases with time
how so?
