The Scientific Juggernaut that is BIO-Complexity

[Speedwell]

Yeah, but it was a literal and inerrant dream.

 

[Shemjaza]

Kinda like this?

Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.

That would be great... except it isn't physically there.

1. A Ladder is not an elevator.

2. The location of "heaven" is not well defined relative to the moon, planets, or ISS.

3. This is a very crowded ladder; too much traffic.

4. It is a dream, thus only imagined by someone's mind while sleeping.

5. The dreamer is not specified in this short passage, which just might be a whole sentence. How are we to know who is dreaming?

One of those things every mad scientist has on his lab
bench, along with an erlenmeyer of colored water on
a spinner and a flask with dry ice.

And, of course, a Hackenthorpe vacuum (take an ordinary vacuum and suck all the vacuum out).

Um, didn't know of that.

But I left out the methyl salicylate that is so essential
for purposes like keeping Frankemsteins heart alive.

I suspected so, but I'm sick of out of context bible quotes of single (or partial) verses and this one didn't even specify the subject of the sentence. I read genesis once, it was surprisingly "choppy" with some things of which very big deals are made being rather short.

Yes, they are short. But each word carefully chosen by God in full omniscient consideration of the least implication and nuance. The sentences in Genesis thus can be used as premises in a logical discourse by which doctrine may be infallibly deduced and also regarded as an utterance of God.

Wow! Where did that come from!? Did you type that yourself?

1 Chronicles 26:18 At Parbar westward, four at the causeway, and two at Parbar.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

My favourite episode!

Literal inerrancy.

Literal inerrancy.

Not sure ifn you are saying is or isnt

It's an accurate description of my understanding of it. Evidently I've got AV's endorsement.

That was impressive, if I say so myself!
