As John wrote, Jesus is the Word made Flesh. Ruminate on that.

Hmmm, OK. Let's see. Words are strings of letters that collectively have symbolic value. Flesh is the stuff animals and humans are made of. So Jesus is a string of letters turned into human or animal tissue.

I'm sorry, it appears to be a completely nonsensical statement. So, now you're telling me this content-free statement means I should disbelieve 150 years of real scientific data?

It will blow your mind and give you hope that there is a good God in all this mess we've made on earth

I gave up trying to blow my mind back in the 70's. But I can see your point. Possibly if I took LSD, it might make sense.

I think the basic thought you don't want to get your head around is that the comment means Christ is the embodyment of the laws of God - the word meaning the scripture. Simple to get to really whether one believes it or not. But I understand your need for bloviation. Coming from guys trying to sell Corn producing Corn is speciation, .. it's less than surprising.

Babe, what I'm trying to say is that the grandeur you are looking for in Evolution is literally in God's Word.

God's Word is the creative force in the universe; the power Evos ascribe to Evolution. The Word was not only Made Flesh, it is "alive and active, capable of searching out the true meanings and emotions"

As Napoleon said when cooped up on Corsica with only a Bible to keep him warm, he threw it across the room in fear one night saying "That book is alive!"

Indeed.
