Excuse me? Do you even read what you type. Your words. God gave the Bible to us as a spiritual guide; He left the physical nature of the universe for us to discover. And no amount of quoting scripture at me is going to change my mind about that.
You yourself have claimed several times that you don't think the physical world is important and that only the spiritual world matters. That is not much different than my saying that the Bible is clearly not meant to be taken as a literal description of the world, but rather as a spiritual guide. You also said quite clearly that in many cases where there is a discrepancy between the Biblical version and the observed version of many facts about the physical world, you accept the scientific version; you're just inconsistent in that you don't always come down on the same side when choosing metaphorical (Biblical) version vs. observed (scientific) version.
Talk about putting words in another person's mouth. Please point to the post where I said I don't think the physical world is important and that only the spiritual world matters.? You will not find it.
You said Galileo was imprisoned for heresy for saying that the earth orbits around the sun: a statement in direct contradiction to what the Bible says. So was Galileo wrong? He was not the one committing heresy. You cannot produce one single Scripture that the Bible says the earth does not orbit around the sun.
And science has nothing to do with the state the world is in. You'll have to look for scapegoats other than scientists.
This nation turned over the education of its young to the scientific methodology when the supremes made TOE fittest to survive. Liberalism never takes responsibility for what it creates.
I am very aware of what I typed, and how utterly inappropriate your response was. To recap:
I said: God gave the Bible to us as a spiritual guide; He left the physical nature of the universe for us to discover. And no amount of quoting scripture at me is going to change my mind about that.
To which you answered: Do not worry I will make a note that the Bible is unacceptable for your eyes and ears. Now if what you typed above is representative of what goes for science in the modern age no wonder this nation is circling the literal drain.
I have no idea what you imagined I was implying with that statement, but it clearly has nothing to do with what I actually said. The Bible is a spiritual guide, not a science text, and no amount of quoting scripture is going to change that. Don't read into that things I didn't say.

Okay.
Post 31: People get so wrapped up in these flesh bodies they ignore their purpose.
Post 37: But you assume souls have no bodily form? The flesh body by design was to be shed and return to the dust from which it came. The soul/spirit returns to the Maker that sent it. The assertion that the Creator set in motion evolution mocks Him, the ignorance comes in ignoring why this flesh age need be.
--In this one, you combined your bizarre assertion that only the spirit matters with the diametrically opposed belief that the form of the physical world is supremely important (and must match the Bible). I've asked you to explain this contradiction many times, but you still haven't.
Post 85: I am Christian, and reality is the safest footing any Christian can have traveling through time in a flesh body. Once the last soul created eons ago willingly takes this flesh journey then there will never be a need for flesh bodies again. Imagine that, all the time effort and money spent to prove the evolutionary fairy tail/tale will have been for naught...Once this flesh age ends, the real undisputed education will begin to erase the tales/tails of Darwin.
--Twice in this post, you repeated your theme that the physical world isn't important, and then you contradicted yourself with the claim that Christians must believe in a physical world that is utterly unlike the actual observable world. It may not be as contradictory as it looks, however: insisting that people believe that the physical world is so different than our direct observations actually tell us about the world can be interpreted as a belief that the physical world doesn't matter.
FYI, many devout Christians accept the scientific (that is, observed) description of the evolved, spherical, non-enclosed, billions of years old, sun-orbiting earth--the Pope among them.
Anyway, I'm sure you made other statements about the unimportance of the physical world, but I think I've dug up enough of them for now.
