Subject: A thought about the Flood |
Bible Note: My original objection had been to the misstatements about the facts of science. The age of the earth is based on interpretations of the facts. There may be strong support from a variety of lines of reasoning, but that just means the theory is strongly supported. Science is also useful to Christians. c14 dating, based on 4,000 year old bristlecone pines has done much to support the stories in Genesis. It is a great tool, but just a tool. We can't throw it out because it is inconvenient. The Bible is inspired. That does not mean my or your interpretation is inspired. Based on accepting each and every word, we can consider various interpretations. Based on accepting the facts, the data of science, scientists constantly debate their theories. After Einstein's theory of reletivity was accepted, the only one out to prove Einstein wrong was Einstein. The latest theories say he was right to say he was wrong. I would have made a fool of myself to weigh in on the debate. I therefore stick to the Bible rather than trying to look like a fool. greentwiga |
