So what does the bible say about heliocentrism?
Oh? I think Kurt Gödel would have something to say about that.
Your post clearly demonstrates that you don’t understand either.
1. Flies developed wings
2. Birds like to eat flies.
3. Birds developed wings.
It’s as simple as that.
Now you've done it! Here come the geocentrists! You can't prove that we're not at the center of the universe...
Wow, Brian Thomas, MS* has really outdone himself this time. It would take me a full night to explain how wrong almost every one of his sentences is. He is amazingly obtuse and full of crap.
“Evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible.”
Only if you consider a marriage of the perfect truth and a perfect lie “perfectly compatible”.
But that’s just me...
They never have and never will.
The point I was trying to make is that faith trumps logic and science. The fact that the Genesis was an oral tradition in an ancient Hebrew dialect that lacked the capacity to express the yet to be discovered scientific concepts to explain the creation of man in anything other than abracadabra terms is lost on bible literalists.
Which came first?
The fly or the maggot?
Our pastor has just started a study in the book of Genesis. He read, “In the beginning God created. . .” Then he looked at the congregation and said, “If you can’t wrap your head around this, then you are not going to understand the rest of the Bible.
The evidence certainly favors your conclusion. Indeed, the evidence for evolution gets worse by the day. How frustrating for them. Perhaps that is why the Evos are preparing the public to ditch Darwin in favor of a new God-denying evolutionary synthesis.
There is no center in an infinite universe.
Just like oil and water. Yup.
Did anyone then ask the good reverend if creation was specifically defined as an instantaneous, one-step process or if it left some room for debate?
“Your post clearly demonstrates that you don’t understand either.”
No. I’m an educated, rational Christian. I understand both very well.
I understand—I was being sarcastic. I have made similar points to yours in other threads that have, in fact, brought geocentrism adherents to the discussion!
Absolutely. And he used the process of evolution to get us here.
Actually, Copernicus was a heliocentrist, in the sense that he thought that the sun was close to the center of the Universe. It certainly gives a whole new twist to the badly misnamed Copernican Principle.
