Ya know, I really think some creationist would try to develop a “scientific” proof for everything in the Bible.
These people just keep re-inventing the wheel over and over again.
For me the water into wine thing stands as a miracle and needs no further explanation, as does creation. It’s better for me to believe in the mystery than to flail about making up nonsensical pseudoscience.
God created the heavens and the Earth. Who gives a rats fanny how or in what time period. He did it the way he did it and that’s good enough for me.
Isn’t there some evidence that King David had the original pentateuch altered? Could that have happened?
You will find many here who care quite a bit. I've seen some freepers go as far as to say that if the literal Genesis is not the truth, then the Bible is a fraud and none of it is to be believed.
"Either its all literal, or none of it", as one creationist freeper put it.
These people have a lot more to lose in this argument than I do, which makes their motives suspect.
If evolution and an old Earth were proven wrong tomorrow, my worldview would not change much. However, disproving a literal Bible would send many here into a crisis of faith. More the reason to cast pejoratives on people who believe in evolution. Calling them monkey worshipers who bow to the Church of Darwin should stave off the creeping inevitability of facts for a few moments longer.
