Can’t fall into that trap of thinking God is able to do everything. /S
Unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
You're 100% right.
Thomas Henry Huxley quite logically and consistently recognized in Darwinism a disproof of miracles--of all miracles--saying that everyone who understood it would celebrate its driving out of all thought of miracles from the world, "never to return." And yet "theistic evolutionists" accept every miracle in their bible and their tradition . . . but insist that the very act of creation, the one thing that by definition cannot be subject to natural physical laws (because there was no such thing as natural physical laws prior to it), is uniquely singled out for scorn in the name of "science." Huxley would be so disappointed in them.
Isn't it G-d "the magician" who is, by the very nature of things, responsible for every miracle? Do you hear any theistic evolutionists laughing to scorn any particular post-creation miracle? No you do not. They all accept "G-d the magician" when it comes to every other miracle or supernatural or preternatural act in history. But when it comes to the act of omnipotence that, out of absolute nothingness, brought into existence all created reality (along with its laws) suddenly "G-d the magician" isn't so cool. Suddenly "G-d the magician" is silly, a lazy man's way of avoiding the hard work of answering difficult questions.
We never hear these "theistic evolutionists" holding forth on the number of ways that, by purely natural means, the "virgin birth" could have been accomplished (artificial insemination, whatever). This is sighingly placed in the category of "purely miraculous--do not inquire." But miraculously creating the universe from nothing exactly as described by Genesis simply because that's the way He chose to do it? This is unthinkable! G-d's gift of human reason (which is dumb in the face of other miracles) simply will not be insulted by such mumbo-jumbo.
How does this sound . . . the "virgin birth" was brought about by another woman giving birth and Mary adopting. There now. Does it really have to be miraculous if the result is the same? After all, the "what happened" is so much more important than the "how it happened," isn't it, hmmmmm??? After all, G-d isn't a "magician!" Well, except for the whole "hocus-pocus" thing.
The utter inconsistency and blatant hypocrisy of the whole thing makes my anger burn white hot. And what is the reason for it all? Just so they won't be confused with those awful Protestants. Why, the Eastern Orthodox are so determined to not be confused with Protestants that now they're claiming that the bible isn't a chrstian holy book at all, and that the idea that it is is an alien idea imported from islam!
If the confrontation with islam caused some distortion in the churches' teachings, it seems so did the confrontation with Protestantism.
