Which science - there's at least two - the world/carnal /opposed to God / "false science" which is always in error from the start of anything,free to accept or deny the science.
Yes, but the official teaching of the LCMS is no evolution and a 6000 year old earth, and Idont like that.For the RCC along with many mainline Protestant denominations the age of the earth is not a moral or faith issue. In other words their adherent are free to accept or deny the science.
Do you choose* to "like"/ "believe" God's Word when God's Word is the Standard by which to live ?Yes, but the official teaching of the LCMS is no evolution and a 6000 year old earth, and Idont like that.
I’m not sure I know what you’re askingDo you choose* to "like"/ "believe" God's Word when God's Word is the Standard by which to live ?
* - positive and.hopeful affirmative expected.
Thankyou very much, by your definition I have engaged in the world/carnal /opposed to God / "false science" variety of science.Which science - there's at least two - the world/carnal /opposed to God / "false science" which is always in error from the start of anything,
or "creation science" (might go by other names sometimes) which can be wrong but at least is right sometimes.
So then, "free"? to accept or deny "false world's science" or "creation science" ?
As a follower of Jesus, believing Him and learning from the Father/ the Creator,Thankyou very much, by your definition I have engaged in the world/carnal /opposed to God / "false science" variety of science.
Explain as a follower of the creation science type why are there so many different creation dates.
You haven't answered my question, I gave you a list of creation dates interpreted by individuals who have a literal interpretation of the Bible as you do and if the creation date is in the Bible why are there are so many different dates quoted?As a follower of Jesus, believing Him and learning from the Father/ the Creator,
There is only one Creation Date for anything or anyone.
The Creator Created (or Creates) everything and everyone as He Says.

You have a problem with basic comprehension or just trolling?This post are you referring to ?
I "literally" do not see anyone who agrees with me in this post of yours.

LolAnd what do you think I wrote in post#647 a recipe for tic-tacs?
I'm out here waiting to see what creation dates you do give. You seem to be walking around an answer.This post are you referring to ?

Let me try again explain why there are so many interpretations of the creation date in the Bible when there should only be one answer.

Yes she did. Why are there so many?No you did not .
Did the interim pastor you talked to believe in evolution?I've mentioned this before I think when we've spoken. But a year ago I jointed a local AALC congregation, which is in altar and pulpit fellowship with the LCMS. The official position of the AALC, like the LCMS, is YEC. One of the pastors (not active, but retired, but who was serving as interrim pastor until we received our current active pastor) and I have had chats about science. He has had no problem talking about science and recognizing science. We geeked out a little talking about dinosaurs one time after Mass in the fellowship hall.
What I'm getting at is that boots-on-the-ground, Lutherans--laity and clergy alike--are much more diverse than what official upper eschelon denominational positions might suggest. While pastors are more strongly bound, due to their committments, laity are not under the same kind of expectation.
Before joining the AALC I was ELCA, which I certainly had more agreements with on some social issues and their more open stance on science. My reasons for becoming AALC rather than remaining ELCA didn't come down to politics or science; but confessionalism.
I'm not going to say that I don't still have reservations about my new church. I absolutely adore my church. But I sometimes worry about external influences affecting things.
But I have to realize that "the perfect church" doesn't exist. It's not about me.
At the end of the day here is what I'm saying: I don't think you should leave the LCMS/become RCC because of different views on science. That should be one of the least important things. If you are, based upon conscience, convinced in the intrinsic truth of what Catholicism confesses (in where it differs from Lutheranism), then you should follow conscience. But if the reason is purely over a peripheral issue, like the LCMS officially rejects evolution/old universe/big bang/etc then I want to reassure you that it shouldn't be a huge concern.
There are lots of people in the LCMS who accept science as science.
The core questions I hope you are asking yourself are what do you believe about God--about the Gospel, and about how you should treat your neighbor. The things that truly matter as a Christian. Our ideas about science, and in a lot of cases politics, should only really become a matter when it affects our confessional and vocational life--who we are as a people that calls Jesus Lord, tasked with the privilege of representing Him through love toward others, and holding firm to the gift and promise of God's grace toward us which saves us, keeps us, and comforts us with His love.
