Well I am in good company with the Pope. I think we can withstand the slings and arrows of zealots insisting that neither of us can be Christian because we accept scientific evidence that you deny and/or are ignorant of.
Piety is not established on a sliding scale of how wacky your cosmology is.
Do you call God a liar when you deny that there are literally four corners of the Earth?
According to scripture we are created unique and in God’s image. Scripture has never been proven wrong. Science on the other hand?
>>Well I am in good company with the Pope.<<
That’s that wide road again.
>>Do you call God a liar when you deny that there are literally four corners of the Earth?<<
You haven’t shown me where God said that.
Isaiah 40:22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
The word used is the Hebrew word, KANAPH which really means “extremity”. In Numbers 15:38 it is translated “borders”.
The Greek equivalent in Revelation 7:1 is gonia. Gonia literally means angles, or divisions and sometimes quadrants.
No where it scripture does God say that the earth has “four corners”. You really need to study scripture rather than science. Your atttempts at discrediting scripture is rather telling.
“..gorillas are less similar in DNA than a chimp is to a human. According to the science of zoology - that places us within the ape clade...”
Go back to biology, change one protein and you have nothing!!!
Similarity does not prove evilution.
Birds have wings so do planes, insects.
what is your point?
“...Do you call God a liar when you deny that there are literally four corners of the Earth?...”
and you never use analogy or similies and metaphors??
