(February 7, 2014 at 9:55 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: Genesis 1:27 though you can interpret it with the modern scientific framework of what we know for a fact actually happened over time. Better to do that than insist that the world is 6000 years old and all that business, the Bible isn't a science book.
Which leads me to a much more important question: why work off the premise that you need to retrofit all this biblical stuff into current scientific knowledge at all? People have been doing that for centuries, they'd done it for things we now know are wrong, and I guarantee that whatever we discover in the future will be subjected to the same treatment.
Why not just see if what the bible says stands up to modern scrutiny, rather than going through these logical contortions so that it always "does"? Afraid of what you'll find?
