And Greetings to you Smaller,

Allow me to try to focus our discussion a bit.

Smaller, Thanks for your follow up post. I hope our conversation can remain “seasoned with salt” as we discuss these matters. I will make every effort not to hand out accusations as they seldom...

ok.

It is a fact that does not speak to the legitimacy or illegitimacy of such an exclusion. What is interesting is that science does not consider the role of God, but is quick to affirm...

Greetings as well Smaller.

It is good to hear that you believe in the inerrant word of God. You mentioned that it is a lesser authority than Israel or Christ, and while I agree with the latter...

Will do, I'm on my way to the seminary library so I'll check it out there.

Some of what you say is true. Theistic evolution doesn't discount Abiogenesis, but it adds a dimension that elimates...

Lol

Found it in a google search by accident when doing research on a paper. I also found a great number of other refugee types from another bbs that isn't as cool as this one.:b_hop:

Smaller,

Granted that hell is not a place that was designed for humans. But if people don't go there then why would Jesus fuss with statements like...

But I will show you whom you should...

Well, that’s convenient. Simply say something happened because they say so and then go on to develop a model. Would you be so supportive of most scientists declaring, without even dealing with...

Theoretically it is possible that the whole universe is a type of fungal growth growing on a peace of cheese in a refrigerator of an alien on another planet in another universe…. But until we have...

Different concepts but not at all unrelated. Abiogenesis is assumed in non-theistic evolutionary models.

Except, of course, for the first living thing.

Right, and does so completely without...

Actually most scientists agree that abiogenesis is highly improbable. Sure, some quibble about some factors that may reduce the improbability, but none of those quibbles ever reduce the...

Magdalenbrother, you responded to my inquiry about the elevation of God’s thoughts above our own. You replied.



Right, and to a 10 year old, the logic of a Romanesque or Gothic cathedral can...

Testable predictions? Perhaps, but not any results that help your conclusion. Every test designed to produce abiogenesis (which wouldn't even be abiogenesis since it would have a little help from...

No, they just concluded a long history of scientific discovery that discounted abiogenesis as occurring for any species of life. And right, no one had been to the moon before 1960. Do you think...

How about since Louis Pasteur determined that the cause of microorganisms were microorganisms. That even attributing the discover quite late. Science has had a great track record not...

Evangelist,
First let me say it is good to meet you.
Second, please permit me to address some of the point you have brought to light in this thread.





I think your criteria is on the...

Unless you can prove that somehow the probability curves back on itself and somehow becomes more probable the less probable it is (which would be a logical contradiction) then my assertion is fine. ...

An astute observation.
First off, let me start by agreeing with you to some degree. Certainly we would be foolish to argue that the United States always does the right thing. It would be equally...

Except that the mathematical probabilities of a single cell organism spontaneously generating are astronomical (not to mention that science has decided that this doesn’t happen, this one occurrence...

Thanks for the welcome Magdalenbrother. I appreciate your warmth despite what will inevitably be a friendship that must develop in the midst of some serious theological and philosophical...

Greetings Magdalenbrother,

I am new to Theologyweb but not new to theology. I hope you don’t mind me jumping in to answer some of your points.
In your last post you argued that Trinitarians (of...

Absolutely an Intelligent Design Advocate. The Darwinian concept of evolution is dying a long slow death in light of the compelling evidence that there are too many irreducible complexities for most...

I'd take Jaltus' recommendation and buy Mounce's material, but I found it much easier to learn from essentials of New Testament Greek by Ray Summers. Then Go to Mounce beginning and intermediate...

Good question. It’s a bit like trying to love your wife. I think that there are dimensions of both emotion and role commitment that come into play.



Most folks who have been married five...

7Thangel,
I think a more probable explanation is that the commentators take into consideration the way that Luke employs the Greek word teleiow.
For example. Luke does not mean to suggest that the...
