***Poking fun? You call me a hypocrite and when I point out that Joshua had the sun stand still and that that day was longer than 24 hours
Pardon me, but how was I to know this?***
Because you and I have spoken before. Because I outlined the process of the earth speeding up its rotation over time.
***You have plainly rejected the words of the Bible in Genesis,***
I do not reject the theology of Genesis and it should have been plain in our past dealings.
***How was I to know you arbitrarily decided to concede that G-d told the truth in the latter case but not the former?***
I have never said that God does not tell the truth. I merely stated that the days were longer all those years ago. How long? Can you speculate or say with any surety?
*** If you believe in so many supernatural phenomena, then what is it about the first eleven chapters of Genesis that so frighten or offend you?***
It is the misinterpretation of various sections of the Bible that is dangerous, not the actual content. Misinterpreting Genesis is no less dangerous than misinterpreting Paul.
"Theology of Genesis" translates as "the spiritual lesson those fairy tales are actually teaching."
I wonder what the fairy tales about J*sus' being born of a virgin and rising from the dead are actually teaching? You surely don't claim that some miracles are more unlikely than others, do you?
Yep, I'm sure G-d has a special place prepared in that "hell" of yours for those awful people who believe He actually created the Heavens and Earth in six days. After all, they scandalized all those scientists and intellectuals whose souls are so much more precious to G-d than those of simple people!
