I take my faith very seriously and do accept the entire Bible as the Word of God.

The "Christians" who twist and modify the Word to fit their pre-conceived agenda and notions of the world sadden me greatly. They remind me of the pharasees (my ancestors) who rejected Christ because they read the prophecies with an agenda that did not fit the God's reality.

Indeed, I would venture as far as saying that they are willing or unknowing agents of Satan, in that they are making Christians look dishonest or stupid or both.

I likwise am a Christian and take my Bible seriously. Indeed, I have a doctorate in theology, and worked on two major Bible translations. I hope you realize the danger of the last statement.

Since you have a Doctorate in Theology, then you should know you shouldn't lie.

People can debate all day about evolution quite legitimately.

Old canards like the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics you either peddle or adopt are dishonest and no Christian would knowingly peddle such transparent lies --- as they are easily debunked, making Christians look stupid.

You now know better about the 2nd law.

The test is if you repeat the lie again.

[MeanWestTexan]

Oh, and why did you paste together two seperate posts, deleting the reference to the 2nd law, which was in reference to the statement about which you complain?

Surely, you are not modifying, selectively deleting, and misquoting to try to pursuade?

Sounds like what the serpant did to poor Adam, to me.

and worked on two major Bible translations.

Then you should know full well how dishonest people can distort the bible to read what they want it to ...
