I do not believe in sola scriptura, but what is the difference between Protestants rejecting the real presence and you folks rejecting everything else?

If you are talking about Creationism vs. Evolution, I think Claud pretty much has been addressing these points. If you are talking about stoning homosexuals, bats being birds, etc., then that's another issue.

It's strange that you would condemn me for generalizing when it is your intention to adhere to that generalization.

Your equating a legal prescription (the stoning of homosexuals) with a statement of historical fact (the universe was created in six days, Adam died at the age of 930), is most unfortunate. How in the world can the two be equated? Even you must believe that at that time at least, homosexuals were to be stoned--unless you're one of those really radical types who insist that those primitive people "thought" that's what G-d wanted them to do but today "we know better." (And btw, male homosexuals cannot be stoned today because the Temple doesn't stand and the Sanhedrion doesn't meet in the Lishkat HaGazit. When those conditions are met, than any Jew who, by the testimony of two eyewitnesses and after a warning has engaged in homosexuality, must be stoned. Non-Jews, as I understand it, do not have to wait for the Temple but may impose capital punishment now. And btw--non-Jews are only permitted to execute by beheading.)

As for your dismissal of the Torah because it calls bats "birds," it does no such thing. The Torah is in Hebrew, not English or any other language (and cannot adequately be translated). It classifies bats (if that's what `atallef means) as `of--from the verbal root `ayin-vav-peh (or `ayin-peh-peh) meaning "to fly"--hence as "flying creatures." And you wish to take today's totally arbitrary scientific classification system and use it to condemn the Torah as non-factual? Way to go, Dr. Bultmann!

Looks like my generalization is pretty accurate.
