The reason I asked is because of a paper I’m writing on science found in the Bible. It’s everywhere and I’ve not pinned myself down to one specific area. Also, I’m having to learn a bit of Hebrew to get precisely what I want. The more I learn of Hebrew, the more discoveries are made.
I’ve got a couple of months to go, because I haven’t even gotten to the point of having a rough draft yet.
Talking with an atheist about science not long ago, it occurred to me that the best opinion and reaction on my points I am to make would best be from an atheist who’s into science. The previously mentioned atheist is not someone I could ask due to personal reasons. Anyway, that’s why I asked you.
I appreciate your response, Lady, and wish you the best.
Warm Regards,
SC
Oh... sorry, I’m just an English teacher. Good luck on your paper.
Hey Claire, I’m not the Lady, but I know a “laddie” who might furnish some insight. I’m not saying every single solitary view of his has got to be correct, but it’s a treasury of attempts to square modern science and the scriptures in what is called an “Old Earth Creationist” view.
When following the bible accounts through cataclysmic events such as the fall in the Garden, the eviction from the Garden, and the Great Flood, I get the impression of a large transformation of the properties of the world, if not a shift from one universe to another. But that might just be HTRN. At any rate, if you get a God who can change the laws of physics like Scotty couldn’t, then you get a paradigm that conventional sciences by definition can’t completely penetrate. And the discussions and debates go on. It may not be possible to pin down any view over the others at this point.
