Yes, once again, I dodnt understand much of that at all...

Excpet for this last thing you write, the final question you ask "Why is a trained theologian wrong?


That I can answer;
My doctor knows a lot more that I do about a great many things concerning the human body, but I would never trust the guy driving my mom around until I saw for myself he was as good a driver as I was.

The fact that he knows a bunch of things in one area of study does not mean for one second we should therefore trust the guy's abilities in all other matters.

Its the same for any of us.

I know a lot of stuff that concern my ***....likely a lot more things than most people would ever care to know about my ***.
Yet even if I know so much about this one area it does not mean for one second that i can do your ***.

Your *** could be totally unrelated to the type of work Im used to doing.

I would be interested in a few things a Theologian might have to say on a few topics, but if he was totaling up my bill at the lumberyard I would want to check his math myself too.

It's nothing personal, but just because you know a lot about the Bible doesnot mean you know how to add 2+2

The false idea that a lot of Christians have is that a theologian's study of the bible makes them also a great science professor.....it dont.


When people think it does, is where the Church falls into trouble, and ends up burning people at the stake who teach ideas about the universe that run counter to their interpretations of scripture.
