[[You have admitted that in one place in the Scriptures, “day” does not need to be (and should not be) taken literally, while insisting that in others it must.]]
David, now you are just being facetious and silly- I said no such thing- I pointed to studies by scholars explaining perfectly clealry why-
If you’re not goign to present an itnellectually honest argument- I really don’t care to continue hte discussion- I’ve asked you several times to answer key issues0- you refuse, I’ve presented links ot explanations that refute your claim, you ignore htem- There is no sense continuing a discussion with someoen who avoids the evidence and avoids addressign hte problems with their unbiblical hypothesis-
[[If you want to resume our discussion of matters in the philosophy of science as they bear on ID and the neo-Darwinian synthesis, after a few days break, I would be happy to continue discussing that.]]
If that discussion continues alogn htel ine of these issues I’ve been ATTEMPTING to discuss with you- no- Not really itnerested- I stated right at the beginnign that it was important ot lay the groundworks based o nthe quesitons I asked you before the discussion coudl move on to the opther issues- since you refuse to answer, and refuse to acknowledge gthe language experts and dishonestly claim I am simply applying definitions to words for no apparent reason- I really don’t care to discuss hte matter further- there’s no sense to do so- no matter what evidence I coudl brign to the table it will simpyl be ignored and I suspect I’ll continue to be accused of things I never claimed myself- I simpyl pointed to experts o nthe issue-
And I pointed to the views of the Fathers of the Church.
Again you make the main point of my last post: you follow a tradition of Scriptural hermeneutics, as do I. Yours consists of "scholars" who approach the Scriptures as Luther did. Mine consists of holy bishops, some of whom suffered or even died for the Faith once delivered to the Saints, pious monks, and (occasionally) pious laymen like Kalomiros or the noted Russian lay theologian Khomiakov, who stand in their tradition, which has continued unbroken from the days of the Apostles.
I have never failed to answer your questions: you sometimes disliked my answer, and denied that it was an answer when the answer was "read Kalomiros". As I wrote: God be with you until we meet (virtually) on another thread.
