I refer only to the posts I've made directly to you. I've told you everything you need to know and you never respond with anything other than the Bible says six days. When the Bible says something you can't assume that it means what it says. In this case it does mean what it says but it...

That isn't an explanation that I'm at all willing to casually dismiss. In fact I've suggested it on more than one occasion. We wouldn't be able to see the light from a star that was 9 million light years away for another 9 million years minus 144 hours.

This isn't an astonishing revelation to me, Michelangelo. Your birthday is also the same as my mother's. I have countered it repeatedly. With several points of contention which you have not countered. You've not even tried. That's not the best. The best is the entire structuring of the...

Okay, then. Let's do the little back and forth game and see how long you can avoid the subject. Right. Always wrong, wait for the nearest wagon to jump on. Beg to publish, for funding, fudge the stats on the viscosity of ketchup or polio vaccines to the highest bidder. Boring. Good, then...

Yes ... ?

But a third grader wouldn't be so obtuse to suggest it meant anything. Do you even read what I say? God also gave Israel 40 years to wander in the wilderness. For 40 days. Your literal interpretation doesn't account for the seventh day continuing to this day. (Psalm 95:7, 8, 11; Hebrews...

If you even realistically thought that you would provide the scriptures. The scriptures have nothing to do with your interpretation. If the case is closed I, and no one else, closed it. I demonstrated that they were not literal days when I pointed out that 1) the creation was complete...

@Stripe This is a bit long, unfortunately, but of course you don't have to respond to the entire thing. I'm telling you why I think what I do. The evidence, logic and reason. You already know my position. It suggests the problematic subjectivity of science as well as faith. Also, not...

Aw, you edited out the part where you called me a Jackass and told me to go to hell. What'd you do that for?!

I'm 3 years older than you. And you don't impress me either. But that isn't the point is it. Don't paste at me entire blankets of text. Watch, Junior, I'll show you: (This isn't for debate, just demonstration) I write, in my own words: Writers of the Bible, under inspiration, use the word...

One reason I don't like organized religion is that the higher you go the more hypocrisy, for example, there is. The worst kid in town is always the pastor's son. Because he sees first hand the hypocrisy, I suppose. We all have a little bit of that in us but those at the top have to concentrate...

We were discussing the application of the word day. As Jesus used. Today. This day. Then the criminal died and went to the grave awaiting resurrection. He was asleep in death. When he wakes up it will be as if it were the same day. To him. Though thousands of years will have passed. Jesus...

Exactly. Metaphorically speaking. Yes. More so than I should look at you. Splinter and post. It is a gradual process that you have to keep control of. Constantly making sure my beliefs don't become my God. It's always working towards that, since I'm imperfect and sinful.

Do you think it's a case of not believing God's words or thinking that God's word is something that it isn't? I think that they become fixated with (dogmatic) about traditional doctrine and they make the Bible fit with that in their eyes. In other words the tradition becomes their God.

Are you talking about the Heart of Gold Infinite Improbability Drive? [Edit]: By the way. I'm taking a break from working on my website and so I have some time to kill. When I go back to it don't think that I've left in a huff. I will return regularly as long and as often as I can. I'm not here...

You don't have a clue do you? You don't know what it means or you know it means nothing.

Good question. He doesn't need to. I'm not bashing the Bible, but the Bible only serves as an example to us (test: can you give me scriptural reference saying exactly that? Hint, Jesus brother.) The law of Adam, the law of the Angels, the law of Noah, the law of Moses, the law of the Christian -...

Excellent! I very much like how you say our human egos. Not just theirs, but ours. We have to constantly give our egos a good thrashing so that our very own thinking can be corrected. Especially with something we think dogmatically about.

One more time. I want you to tell me why light traveling 14 billion light years away wouldn't indicate 14 billion year old creation. That's all. Simple.

[Laughs] Okay. Why not? Someone else might read it that actually cares. Jehovah God inspired the writing of scripture. That means that he used his Holy spirit to guide, direct and approve of the original writing. Not the translations. What we have is the Bible. The prophets had divine...
