*nod* - I see that you understand.

The fascism, yes. I notice, though, that there has been no reply to my observation that if time is not uniform (as relativity indicates) and God’s creating [the Heavens] is described by the Hebrew word meaning “stretch” then, considering that the center and the edges of creation would be moving at different speeds and therefore subject to different ‘time elapsments’ then how can the term day be literal? That is, if the universe is experiencing different times at different locations, how is one literal time-dependent descriptive word adequate?
You really have to stop making sense—we’ll have none of that here!
Don’t expect a meaningful reply to your posts. Nor should you expect to “win” any arguments. The fact is that science and true Christianity are perfectly compatible, and that is the majority view among all faiths. It is but a small minority of Christians who refuse to use their God-given ability to reason.
Now imagine what a middle school science class curriculum would look like if they had their way!
