The whole verse is true. Also, the phrasing in the Greek is "in beginning was the LOGOS, and the LOGOS was with the God, and God was the LOGOS." The second "God" in the verse is a noun, not an adjective. Nope. Both "THEON" and "THEOS" in that verse are nouns. There's a reason that only a...

Notice how He did not say that ONLY the Father is the true God. The way He said it does not exclude Himself from also being the ONLY true God, and it does not exclude the Holy Spirit from also being the ONLY true God. If Jesus had said, speaking to His Father, "ONLY You are the true God," then...

Welcome back, Dave!

Or, maybe, just maybe, God is really good at getting people to name their children certain names, and can ensure that someone's offspring has certain characteristics. No needing to know the future necessary.

Yes, that's my point. They had to ADD days to the calendar, because a 360-day calendar would result in incorrect dates, and eventually calling for harvest in the middle of winter, had they not made adjustments. This is simply false. Many ancient cultures had 360-day calendars. Here's a list...

I will point out that He did have technical notes in his book. I linked to them before, but you never gave any indication of having viewed them. Here is the post with those links again:

Afaik, "In the Beginning" was never meant to be a technical explanation of literally every aspect of the theory, which likely would have filled multiple volumes.

Come on, that was uncalled for, Clete. He gave clear scripture to support the claim he made. 150 days / 5 months= 30 days per month Genesis 7:11 gives the start date of the flood, giving the exact day and month of the year. Genesis 7:24 gives the duration of the flood in days. Genesis 8:3-4...

The point is that the reason so many different calendars exist is because of the fact that men were used to a 360 day year, and because of the changes to the solar system as a result of the Flood, they now had to try to find a reliable way of counting days in the year. 360 is easily divisible...

Why? Just because God's nature doesn't change does not mean He isn't free. If God is free, then the future is not settled.

You're talking about accelerating something with a mass of 330,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg up to that velocity. I'm pretty sure there was no one object that large that was ejected, nor does HPT claim there was. The problem you seem to be having here is that you're trying to have one giant...

Clete, you keep hinting at a belief that the acceleration was instantaneous. The HPT does not assert that it was. Consider the rail-mounted guns developed by the Germans in WW2. They were designed to launch projectiles long ranges without vaporizing them in the process. They did so by...

Because of the context. Because you say so? Either make the argument or don't. I'm not going to do it for you.

Because I have a Hebrew interlinear... Duh. If you want to say that the meaning changed, then you can only say that the KJV translators mistranslated the word, while the other translations translated it correctly. If you think there is some argument that needs to be made, then make the...

The Hebrew word used for "the heavens" in verse 1 ( הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם "haš·šā·ma·yim") is plural. In other words, the KJV translators did not correctly translate "הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם". But what does this have to do with what I said, which is that the message being conveyed does not change? Make your...

Of course we can believe what it says. Why? Because the Bible contains truth claims that stand on evidence. The Bible is falsifiable. AND: It was written in such a way that, just because it's copied (which has the possibility of introducing errors), or because the language is updated (compare...
