I appreciate your honesty. I'm curious, is there any evidence out there that would make you change your interpretation, or is the words placed in the Bible irrevocable?

Thoughtful question. :-)

Interesting side note:

First, I would like to appologise for being gone so long. My poor computer's power supply died. (fixed now :-)) That is what you get when you run too low a wattage. I only had a 430 watt supply. Now its 560. :-)

While I was installling my new supply in my computer, I decided to rewatch tha old classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still. When Klaatu (the alien) explains how far he traveled I sat up and took notice. He said 250 million miles. I though for about 2 seconds and figured that the only planets (outside the Earth) that could be within that distance were Mercury, Venus, and Mars.

Then he said it took him about 5 months to travel that distance. Bells rang in my head. I thought for a second and started to laugh (I had never noticed this before). The Earth travels about 250 million miles in 5 months. Interesting huh! LOL

Thanks for bringing this post back into my focus. I thought I had responded.

My first instinct would be to say, I have no problem not understanding the specifics of any given passage in Scripture. My past experience is that passages that give me trouble are resolved by praying for wisdom concerning the issue.

Thus far God has been faithful to sustain my faith by producing answers either through the Word, circumstances, discussion with other Christians, and often by something that is said by someone who is not a believer. Most frequently, I seemingly stumble upon a passage of Scripture that deals more clearly with the topic.

Ultimately, Jesus is the person I filter all of my feelings, thoughts and beliefs through. When a person begins to have a better knowledge of the entire Bible, the miraculous integrity forces one to acknowledge that it has been inspired by one intellegence.

66 books by 40 authors that is seamless in it's history, spiritual consistancy, and focus on the person of Jesus Christ, forces the student to acknowledge the supernatural nature of it's contents.

So if evidence appears to contradict scripture, I chalk it up to my ignorance and am forced to accept the evidence at face value to maintain intellectual honesty. Evidence that I have been exposed to so far that was an apparent contradiction to scripture has not been broad enough to nullify the Word, and has been worked out by God to my satisfaction.

There's no such thing as comets because they're not mentioned in the Book of Genesis.
