"My authority is Gods Creation."

So you worship the created rather than the Creator? You are saying that your understanding of the thing created trumps the Words of the Creator Himself.

I am reminded of Satan's conversation with Eve, where he says "Hath God said...". He makes her question the words of the Creator. I would advise against going down the same path.

I see that we will never come to an agreement, so I bid you adieu, and wish you well.

God Bless.

Why the dig that I "worship the created"? I didn't say that.

I said that when the question is about the Creation, then the Creation itself is what should be studied. I'm not saying the Word of God is irrelevant or wrong. Just that by definition there cannot be a conflict. If there is an apparent conflict, then it's man's interpretation that's wrong.

In the case of studying Gods Creation, since there is vastly more information about the Creation in the Creation itself than in the Word, that I will lean to interpretations based there first.

I see that we will never come to an agreement, so I bid you adieu, and wish you well.

Did you actually think you could convince me to doubt that Gods Creation is anything other than it seems?
