Son, I grew up with the Young Earth arguments which is why I am attune to the flaws of man when trying to make a scientific document out of a spiritual text. It is funny how on one hand people who believe science is 'damned' for reading events outside the inerrant word of the Bible (as though man puts himself on par with God by claiming that his own belief as to what something means are just as 'perfect' as God's word.) Yet you have people like whom you referenced in #19 who have written entire texts on events that have absolutely no reference in the Bible to somehow justify their 'inerrant' belief of what it all means. I would propose there is just as many 'extra-Biblical' theories among the Young Earth literalists as are in the Scientific Community. I've seen entire texts and theories to try to justify how the Young Earth arguments are formed that have absolutely no Biblical basis, everything from the super-critical water theory to some who propose that the entire solar system was rearranged and the Earth used to revolve around a proto-sun Saturn.
Maybe it is time to take a step back and realize that there is a big difference between man's inerrancy of what he thinks the Bible says and means and the inerrancy of God, and study ALL the evidence God gives us, not just reject it because our understanding is too narrow to not make it fit within a few hundred words.
So by your reasoning [and HJ in the post prior] there is no evidence of a global flood. Just more made up story telling that could not possibly have happened when and as it’s recorded in the Bible.
Tell me how do you use your reasoning to explain the miracles that Jesus Christ performed?
