It occurred to me that the other day you mentioned that you were willing to accept the scholarly view as to which bible translation was the most accurate, because you lacked the expertise to make that determination yourself. I'm working from memory and paraphrasing, but I believe I've accurately captured the spirit of what you said.
Now, inexplicably, on subjects which you are not an expect (biology and geology), you refuse to defer to the experts and instead rely on your own intuition and "knowledge". (Or perhaps, are deferring to those who in fact are not experts in the matter.)
So, please tell us, GC: What is your educational background in geology and biology? What makes you capable of judging the experts wrong in this matter, where you so easily defer to them on others?
You have summarized correctly. Most of what I wrote is in the form of questions my friend, the statements I made are basic biology and geology. I've never represent myself as a biologist or geologist, unlike many atheist on this site that claim knowledge of God that no one has.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
