No, cupid Dave got it right in this instance.
Don't ch know, God gave AV a personal interpretation, and he can't be wrong, even if God himself comes and tells AV that he's wrong, AV wouldn't be wrong.

Science doesn't contradict the Bible. Facts do.
It is those facts which I say do not and should never contradict the Bible, since the bible is correct.
One would think God would be a better author than that really. The first lesson of writing is clarity. God must have missed that lesson.
I believe I once posed this scenario to AV and the response was exactly that: If God Himself contradicted AV's interpretation of the Bible, AV would not believe him. Alas, I cannot find the thread.

There is no contradiction between facts and the Bible.Science doesn't contradict the Bible. Facts do.

The Bible is an amazing piece of literature which shows evidence that the wording used throughout anticipated the slow growth of human understanding and gradual sophistication over the Ages.
The word choice for "day" for instance. was a word that CAN mean 24 hours or even an Era.
So in Gen 1, earlier generations of readers assumed the seven "days" were as they already understood.
But today, we can see that the seven durations were seven Ages or the 7 eras.
Are you talking about science or the Bible here?Two millenia of desperate reinterpretations to fit a succession of agendas and discoveries have left you with mass of interpretation that you need a machete to hack your way through.
Those [inconvenient] facts do and will always contradict the Bible because the more we find out the further away from the truth the Bible gets,[apart from place names] you only think the Bible is correct because someone told you it was.It is those facts which I say do not and should never contradict the Bible, since the bible is correct.
-- I wonder why?
You mean blinders?... your religion forces you to wear blinkers when it comes to anything that might shine a light on it.
Is this the one you're referring to?I did try searching for the post but while I was able to search my own posts, yours couldn't be processed.
If my recollection is incorrect then please let me know. It may have been specifically in relation to evolution.
In my country we have a saying: " On the deaf man's door you can knock all you want". Likewise: With AV1 you can debate all you want! AV1; I suspect, would dismiss God himself; if God came to him and told him that evolution is a proven theory.
It is sad that one such as AV1 (who has shown to us in many posts that he truly possesses a good grasp of general knowledge) should act in a way that only ignorant people do.
AV1 I will pray for you to finally see the light of the BIB BANG

You have never [and will never] check anything that might lead you to think that the Bible is untrue, you WANT it to be true so anything that suggests that it isn't is dismissed out of hand because the very very last thing you are interested in is the truth about the Bible, your religion forces you to wear blinkers when it comes to anything that might shine a light on it's many shortcomings.

If you meant the Bible, then don't call what you reinterpret due to discoveries "science" and what we reinterpret due to discoveries "religion".
I'm talking about the bible, as well you know. Just because your beliefs are
(a) unchangeable
(b) based on taking myths literally
don't try and drag everyone else down with you. You've made your bed, you lie in it.
