And if you knew a bit of history you would know that one of the main reasons that the Puritans emigrated to America was that they were not comfortable remaining in a church whose leader was widely reported to be homosexual. This leader was King James, the head of the Church of England and the patron of your own favorite Bible translation, the KJV."Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." – Albert Einstein -
Jorge is probably relying on the new-n-improved KJV sans the Apocrypha the pederast ordered in there and the translators' note which blows the idea that their work should be taken as infallible out of the water.Originally posted by Kbertsche View PostEnter the Church and wash away your sins.

Do you or do you agree or disagree that death existed prior to the fall of man? A key issue.. . . the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; . . . -- Romans 1:16 KJV

Jorge readily tosses the KJV under the bus in favor of what he deems inferior versions whenever the latter can be better used to support his YEC beliefs. After all, for Jorge, it is YEC that matters most of all.Originally posted by Kbertsche View Post

I am fairly agnostic on the age of the earth. I tend to believe the universe is 15 Billion years old and the earth is 4 Billion but I would not be surprised to be wrong. I also believe in the literal story of Genesis although I don't know if the "days" are 24 hour periods or not, saying "there was evening and morning, the x day" seems to say it was. I don't believe in evolution, but again I am not opposed to being wrong. My and Jorge's beliefs on the topic are fairly close, I am just not dogmatic about it.
Yet according to him, I am not a Christian because I dare question his tactics and dogmatism.

I am sure you have seen the quote from Origen (about 220 CE)Originally posted by Sparko View Post
"What intelligent person will suppose that there was a first, a second and a third day, that there was evening and morning without the existence of the sun and moon and stars? Or that there was a first day without a sky?"
- as quoted in the Philocalia
That argument has been going on for a very long time.

Isn't natural gas odourless? IIRC they add the odour so that you can detect gas leaks. Perhaps peat-burning?Originally posted by HMS_Beagle View PostFrom the smell I always assumed he was powered by natural gas.Jorge: Functional Complex Information is INFORMATION that is complex and functional.

It is a Jorge-worthy response.
