Take a look at Izzy’s response #8 and let me know if there is anything we can say to him that would make a difference.

A good question and one I did write but then erased. Since you asked, here are my thoughts

1)I could have easily written what he said at one point in my life. Maybe more than one point.

2) Hey, he reads his Bible and quoted some verses. Did you look them up to see where he was coming from? I didn’t get the biology connection.

3) We all tend to focus on details. Our culture focus on detail, rather than systems. Systems are hard to understand and can give one a headache but it is still a worthy endeavor. Sometimes I wonder if our education system even mentions systems any more. We take a few variables out of the total climate system and say we understand it. I would have to say, God is a complex system.

4) He made me think of a basic philosophical question, who are we? We are either a random act of nature, a product of time and chance, OR we are a created being. I can think of no other options, so depending on the answer to that question, we interpret the world and God’s word.

I’d like to think IZZY is still wrestling with this question.

5) There were other thoughts but you are probably sorry you asked...................
