Here is a little thing I might point out to you....
If you simply cant handle a Christian that has this slight disagreement with you about the side issues of how to understand...
today is Oct 20, and a moment ago on NASA Tv I watched the TAG sample/return mission land on a rock in space that is untold billions of years old, take a sample, and back away.
I was so proud of...
So David....
Now about the personal stuff....
By "personal stuff" I mean when a post is more about the other person, and no longer just about bible text.
I try to over look that kind of...

I dont think we do.
Now....here is how to understand the "days" of Genesis...

Let me share with you David a bit of my own history with the Young Earth Teachers...
It was back in the 1990s that my church in Seattle decided to bring in a teacher that would support our church...
I think the real danger here is that in a misguided attempt to be a Christian leader/writer, that we are writing things that will only tend to cause harm to the faith of people, and to end up driving...
here, is a better way to look at the world of science.

This means that before all the other stuff, we have a sun, stars, worlds, moons and our own earth as well....
I think enough time has come and gone from when you posted the above, that a response is not out of order now.
So here it is.
There is a lot of work and a lot of struggle to the idea that some...
I dont want to say anything that harms your effort to sell your book.

You can believe in God,,,and yet still tune in to the TV weather guy to see whats going to happen in the sky later.

I dont agree with banning people because they are simply "good" at making their arguments.
What I see is most of the banning I have had to do here was always due to bad words being used.
I would...
