e-s:"First, nuclear energy, electricity, physics, and mathematics do not in any way challenge our spiritual knowledge, so they are not relevant to the question."

BtC: Actually yes, they do. For example, if you want to undermine radioisotope dating (by claiming that radioactive decay rates can change enough to accommodate the '6,000' number), then nuclear physics goes out of the window. And quantum mechanics (which explains the mechanism of decay). And mathematics (which is the foundation of quantum mechanics)...

You didn't respond to the comment. E-s was talking about science challenging spiritual knowledge and you said they did, and proceeded to tell him how he wants to undermine science. What's that have to do with science challenging spiritual knowledge?

from #156: "Do you have any SERIOUS suggestion how we can make the world our dominion (Genesis) while locking ourselves out in the purely spiritual reality of literally interpreted Bible and prayer?"

Why do evos keep harping on a literal reading of the Bible which no one but evolutionists think anyone does?

Why are evolutionists such Bible literalists? Don't you guys realize that there's poetry, parables, songs, metaphors, similes, and types in the Bible? Why do you demand that people read the Bible literally when even Jesus told us that He taught in parables and gave the meaning of them, indicating that they were not meant to be taken literally?

Why do you demand that people read it literally when symbolism in the form of types is used?

We, 'evos', do not. Only they, 'creas' (the YEC breed) want to interpret Genesis literally. If you are not one of them, then what are we talking about? As for answering the question, yes I did answer, and in a subsequent post we were discussing details.
