[Heartlander]

You have invoked scripture in a scientific discussion. Are you a believer in God?

[js1138]

I do not accept scripture as a final authority, if that's what you are asking. Creation itself is untranslated and equally available for all to study.

"you have invoked scripture in a scientific discussion. Are you a believer in God?"

Where did he bring scripture into this?

js1138 said,

"I think it is a sin to hide your mind, like the buried talent, rather than invest it in understanding the Word of God. Creation is the Word and Breath of God, and those who dishonor creation by believing it is flawed or fallen, dishonor God.

If that makes me a materialist, then so be it."

Is that now scripture? Which chapter and verse was that?
