Not even close. Mine was incredibly relevant, both lyrically and stylistically, to the point being made. In the most poetic fashion at that.

Gizmo awaken
There Jac, FIFY!

And upon what would you have me feed that we might realize this Gizmo?

But I don't want to be put on permignore, Rick.

Only if you're willing, in context, to make the added point that this further proves that YECs don't believe yom means a twenty-four hour days since obviously Joshua's long "day" would have been LONGER thatn 24 hours!!! So see, long days are part of the meaning of yom . ;) See, you yecs c...

*shrug* If you so interpret, Rick.

There is no greater symbolic meaning. That's the whole point, phil. It's bad hermeneutics, and you're dealing with the text in bad faith. And I maintain that your comment to neo was still uncalled for and still dishonest. You wrote it off as a "literalism" and said that no one would assume...

It's your preorgrative, of course, to respond however you like or don't like, Phil. But it's just as much mine to say that, in my assessment, what you've just written is dishonest. Your language in response to neo's point was that it was a "literalism" that people with theological educatio...

That's fine, Rick. I don't want the point to get lost in who said what. As I read the discussion, neo asked phil if he believed the sun actually stood still, which would create a massive host of scientific problems. Neo simply says it didn't really happen as written, but that's hardly a problem for ...

Rick, I reviewed the thread. Neo said the first line about the moon standing still here: http://discussions.godandscience.org/viewtopic.php?p=218018#p218018 Phil said the second one about theological training and assuming such literalism here: http://discussions.godandscience.org/viewtopic.php?p=218...

Crochet, let me compliment you publicly on your desire to understand what someone is saying before you try to criticize their position. We would all do well to remember to do the same.

Jac, just wanted to let you know that I fixed your first quote. You had it attributed to Philip, but neo actually said it. Thanks, Rick then you must also believe that the world was created in 6 days, and the sun and moon stood still when Joshua prayed? What, what? Ditto neo, here. You don't believ...

Depends on what you think baptism does. Put more directly, is baptism a sacrament whereby sins (or original in in particular) are washed away/forgiven--that is, does baptism itself have an effect--or is it an external symbol of an already existing internal reality. If the former, then infant baptism...

I think that's profoundly true, K. We live our lives as a narrative. In fact, I think there's a close connection between narrative and consciousness itself. But, anyway, narrative and meaning go hand in hand for us, so much so that a story that doesn't have a meaning or a purpose isn't a story at al...
