No offense, but I think it would be both pointless and frustrating to try to have a Bible study with you. Nothing against you personally, but, well, see my sig.I can tell. Then you should try to answer the questions that you don't seem to be able to. Once you do that you may realize that the Bible is rife with errors.
Then perhaps you could tell me why I shouldn't be perplexed at why someone would join the SBA?
Especially someone of the caliber of a Turncoat Falwell?
Perhaps the SBA did not get started over the slavery issue?
Dunno.
But if it did, then I'm at a loss to explain why it's still going sans slaves.
Unless, of course, it's the love of money.
But even that doesn't make sense, as the Civil War should have bankrupted them.
Indeed.When properly studied, and when textual criticism is properly applied, I don't know of any contradictory bits in what we deduce was in the originals.

We all know it is [even creationists know] but just how badly in your opinion is creationism damaging the USA?
short and long term.
The first thing that springs to mind is education.

Lets say biological life is like a jack in the box(irreducibly complex). Evolution is not responsible for the function of the jack in the box, but it could be thought of as the process of the jack in the box popping open and changing from one form to another.
The real question here is who or what is responsible for the function of the jack in the box, regardless of whether or not Darwinian evolution is true or not?
A valid assumption is that God is responsible for the function of the jack in the box, thus creation then evolution. One must first make something that can then begin evolving.
So really creation and evolution can go together, naturally.
They can -- but if you're tossing a god into the mix, you don't get to call it "naturally"; it's supernaturally now.
'Supernatural' is just a label we put on observations that we don't understand and/or can't explain.
The things observed in quantum physics can be labeled as 'supernatural' because they defy the laws of natural physics. Take quantum entanglement for example.
I believe God is the fundamental force that drives nature and existence to an intentional order and peace from an unintentional chaos and confusion.
If that is so, then, like any "natural" force, "God" can be observed, studied, measured... and eventually, replicated.
Sure, but if by 'replicated' you mean we'll somehow be able to reproduce God, then that would only be possible if God made it possible in the first place.
Interestingly, in a way humans have already played a role in reproducing God, his name is Jesus the Son of God, begotten of God by the womb of a woman.
A woman who, it should be noted, had no say in the matter.
Sure she did.
Luke 1:38
"I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May your word to me be fulfilled."
Her obedience to God helped fulfill God's plan for redeeming man from the clutches of sin and death.
Again, off topic.
Sure, after the fact.... but agreed, off topic.
What was Jesus's DNA?
Look out!What are you trying to get at?
Look out!
Here comes the "Where did Jesus get His Y-chromosome?" question!
One can only know that He had the DNA of His mother, her father and her ancestors all the way back to Adam and Eve. There is absolutely no way to know what His divinity consisted of---He is a part of His heavenly Father, what that means, no one knows or can know.
