I suspected I’d be wasting my time posting any reply to you. Historically your posts betray any real faith in God’s Word. Scientists have been Bible believers for centuries and have used scripture as inspiration to look for and examine clues, to unlock the mysteries of life and buttress their arguments. I truly don’t understand how someone can call themselves a Christian but is willing to eliminate any/all scripture that they don’t believe or think sounds ridiculous or embarrassing.

Where exactly does the Holy Word begin to apply for you? In the middle of Genesis? Or maybe several books later? Or possibly not until the New Testament? Did Jesus really perform miracles? Or affirm any of the Old Testament? Do certain parts of the Bible embarrass you?

Sure God could have taken millions or billions of years and used a single cell to jump-start the whole evolutionary process except for the fact that all the prophecies that Jesus fulfilled (see Psalm 22 for several written approx 1000 b.c.) are found in the same text indicating about 6,000 years and 6 days of super-natural miraculous creation events!!! Which God is truly more magnificent, trust-worthy, and awe-inspiring?

I’ve most probably wasted my time replying to you, but I do hope and pray that others may see that the mysteries God presents in the Bible and on Earth - these are truly worthy of a closer look.

I should have expected a litmus test from you—after all, creation rationalizers can’t come to terms with the fact that the bible is not literally inerrant. On what else can you base your belief?

Yes, God is the prime mover. His method is likely beyond our understanding. However, he gave us the brains to try to figure it out. He’d be disappointed if we didn’t try.

Thank God creation rationalization is not taught as science.

“Where exactly does the Holy Word begin to apply for you?”

And do you faithfully adhere to Deuteronomy 14: 3-9 and Deuteronomy 21:18-21?
