You indeed appear to be adamant in your determination that you won't even seek a plausible way that the water really is water and then proceed on that hypothesis. Instead you just throw up objections that even a minute's mature considered thought can address, as has been demonstrated on this board time and time again. And then you blame the messenger for pointing this out. There are big issues and debates in Bible scholarship, but your kind of petty complaints don't even come close.
Fascinating -- change "Bible scholarship" to "evolutionary science", and that's a *perfect* description of creationists' failures on these threads when it comes to understanding the field they rail against.
As for Bible scholarship, I've spent more years examining it than you'll ever believe -- perhaps more than you have. The difference is that I'm not trying to "disprove" the Bible, I'm just pointing out that the ultra-literalists have a real problem, because in order to "reconcile" the Bible one has to apply interpretation to it, and that's a fallible human issue. But I already made this point earlier, it appears you didn't give it enough attention.
[NO clarification follows]
You had already bid me goodbye, I saw no point in trying to clarify things for you any further. I did, however, want to point out to other readers that your mischaracterization of my comments was not what I actually said -- and I trust they can compare for themselves and see the difference.
"Did not!" "Did too!"
Just how old are you?
If I am headed to heaven, your good bye means you're headed to...
Wow, the self-righteous arrogant smugness of this statement is absolutely breathtaking -- not to mention the fact that you seem to take a very unchristianlike satisfaction in declaring that I'm bound for Hell. How gleefully vengeful of you.
On that note, I'll bid you farewell (and believe me, I'll not waste any more time on you) with:
Those people who tell me that I'm going to hell while they are going to heaven somehow make me very glad that we're going to separate destinations. -- Martin Terman
