chaoschristian said:Premise 1: My dog has a nose
Premise 2: I like milk and sugar in my coffee
Conclusion: The Empire State Building is the tallest in New York City
Both the premises and the conclusion are factually correct. The logic, however, is not sound.
Next.
He doesn't send agnostic/atheist to help us interpreting the Bible. remember no faithful can ever "discover" evolutionchaoschristian said:Amen, you are correct. And that is why He gave us the witness of the Bible, the witness of His Creation, and the guiding hand of the Holy Spirit to help us to discern the truth that both reveal.

fragmentsofdreams said:God is trying to teach truth in the beginning of Genesis, just not history.
ThaiDuykhang said:Why God should twist history? you better explain.
"God catch an ape and make it into a man" is equally understandable for Moses and apostles
fragmentsofdreams said:Using a myth to teach is not twisting history.
God could have taught evolution and all manner of science to the Hebrews, but that wasn't His purpose. It would only have distracted from His message that He is the Creator of all things and that no other thing is His equal.
ThaiDuykhang said:"God is love and doesn't want us to misunderstand Him" is the rule to approach Him.
however fossils are facts and can deceive.
Calling fossils dragon bones is definately wrong, however I'm not sure if they really can cure some disease.gluadys said:Yes, the Chinese used to think they were dragon bones and ground them up for medicines. And medieval Europeans used to think rock was plastic enough to grow into imitations of shells and bones.
gluadys said:It took more than finding fossils to come to an understanding of the truth of what they are.
ThaiDuykhang said:About TE only the existence of fossil is beyond doubt. others like the age of fossils can be wrongly determined. age of fossil is a conclusion rather than an undisputed fact
ThaiDuykhang said:How about phrenology?
ThaiDuykhang said:That's a wicked understanding of God. you can equally say Jesus has never praticed any miracles but God wanted us to admit Jesus is God, so He put miracles in the Bibles.

God doesn't create misunderstanding nor does He deliberately twist facts to avoid misunderstanding.
KJV
Gen 3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
Don't you think someone will use this as an attack on the omnipotence of God?
gluadys said:That is as well supported as astrology. According to Michael Behe, that makes it science, but I expect very few scientists would agree.
fragmentsofdreams said:No, because the Gospels are ancient regilious biographies, not myths. Knowing the literary genre of a piece of writing is essential.
yeah, omniscience.fragmentsofdreams said:Did you mean omniscience?
Someone could (wrongly) use it as an attack against God's omniscience. Since such an attack would be stronger in a historical reading, I don't see your point.
