Maybe that's why you keep seeing kites there.

Your thread about "evolutionary" arguments illustrates this, consisting as
it does of "flammer" (aka flim flam).
But that is all my problem not yours.
(What the heck is "bearing nostrils"? Is it anything like
bearing frankincense?)

Please, if you can, pull out something of mine where I've misunderstood evolution.
You never seemed to care to debate, but rather just like to perform sledging it seems.
And, what do you think people see when you always turn your nose up at them?
You're obviously too educated and learned for us dumb folk Audie.
So silly because all we want here for you is to help.
There is absolutely no need to always attack everyone and try kick them in the guts.
You get so frazzled at the mere mention of any supporting argument for God.
Here's a song for you Audie.

It's a bit cringe worthy no matter who is making the claim and regardless to whom it's directed.
If we don't like it being said to us, we shouldn't say it to others.
It's disqualifying everything the person says regardless of merit or content based on an arrogant assumption.
you are called on to do better than that.Kurieuo wrote:Yes, ok then.
Oh sorry, ok I'll try do better.Audie wrote:you are called on to do better than that.Kurieuo wrote:Yes, ok then.
Why are there people, in this very thread, attempting to combine evolution to varying degrees with the creation model of Hebrew Scripture if they have nothing to do with each other? Bippy mentioned a few pages back "I could live with either interpretation as lomg as it's in line with genesis" and from yourself also in this thread "And if one believes evolution was God's process, typically, they have a low view of key, foundational parts of Scripture, seeing it as either inaccurate or mostly allegorical."Proinsias wrote:This has nothing to do with evolution theory.Philip wrote:The allegorical vs literal interpretations of creation amongst the Abrahamic faiths far pre-dates Darwin and stretches back further than Christianity itself
I was not intending to draw a strict dichotomy of literal/allegorical, I appreciate there are a myriad of opinions. I read the thread linked a while back, but admittedly skimmed parts. Reading Genesis I find myself rejecting what I would consider the view of most Evangelical Biblical scholars, It doesn't particularly stand out as any more inspired than the texts of other traditions and I don't see much point in trying to harmonize a literal reading of the text with current scientific models.Kurieuo wrote:Also, if you're going to comment on what the Bible says, then you should at least be qualified to comment.
It isn't as easy to paint as "literal" vs "allegorical". I bet many who use the term "literal" don't even know the true meaning of it.
What do most Evangelical Biblical scholars mean by it? (these are after all the ones who advocate taking the Bible "literally").
I'd encourage you read over my posts here.
I know that I often loose people when talking, but happy to clarify anything there if you do wish to try and gain understanding of these matters.
But, until you are familiar with the issues then you have no right to comment on what is/isn't literal or interpretations really.
Nor you Audie. It's no different than YECs commenting to you about scientific matters.
Just my opinion, as well as Rich Deem, Hugh Ross, and others, that a literal reading does harmonize with science. I suppose if you mean harmonize with "current scientific models" is the same as evolution, then you're probably correct. Evolution, even Theistic Evolution, doesn't harmonize with a literal biblical interpretation.Proinsias wrote:
