To make a statement like "my theology will change as science proposes new theories" is even worse. It has to be a case by case basis. Is x scientific theory compatible with y theological concept? Perhaps we need to adjust our theological understanding because new facts come to light. My caution is scientific theories. By necessity, they presuppose naturalism and as such may be wrong--especially if a theological concept requires God's interaction with nature.So what, honestly Steve,...so what? OFC science is subject to change..it actually -does- what you suggest but fail to actually do. That doesn't make your theology any more likely to be an accurate representation of reality.
Quote:Like I said above, the theological concept might need to be re-evaluated. It can only be solved on a case-by-case basis.Waffles. There is no case by case basis...you have exempted those things you require...because you need them to be true. That;s not a case by case basis..that;s a two case basis. Things you don;t give a shit about, and things you do.
Quote:This is a good example. We can, but why would we use the word "supernatural" to rescue it? In my opinion, after examination of the pertinent theology it is not required that YEC is true.
Why..because -you- have......... It -is- required that YEC be true, you just belong to a different sect. They can;t use your metrics...and your method won't tell -you- that their core theology is wrong. To come to that conclusion...you did something else.
