Do people really change? In what way? Have they ceased to have a fallen nature? After all, isn't that what new feel-good theology wants us to believe?

I don't assert that the Jewish people believe anything, as I have no way of knowing other than what I read, yet surely some still believe in the Torah. And that sacred Word has not changed in 6000 years.

That Word tells how and why God created the Creation. Whether you believe it or not, is of course your perogative, but I do believe it, and I know why I believe it. Unfortunately, because of that, and that alone, I am attacked all the day long by others who find this belief, intolerable.

The moral nature of people doesn't change. You didn't read very carefully what I wrote. The nature of human inquiry does change--for instance, we are not nearly so concerned with the minutiae of theology as were theologians in the 14th and 15th centuries. Just as none of them wondered about how someone got either brown or blue eyes.

The Torah does not attempt to explain how God created--it just says he made it and there it is.

And you, in turn, attack those who do not conflate science and theology.
