"Personally, I believe both in Genesis and the Big Bang, and do not find them in conflict in the least. FWIW. For God reveals Himself to us in both...."
And -- as I know you are aware -- I also believe in both -- and find them to be (as observational data is gathered) in ever-refined harmony.
It is a sad testimony that some (misguided, IMO) Christians insist that two revelations of our Creator are in conflict.
That simply cannot be -- and I am ever-more convinced that I perceive the source of that error... (Hint: see tagline...)
Yes, that is sad, dear brother in Christ. And yet I suppose that those committed to the doctrine of sola scriptura do not recognize God's other revelations: the Revelation of His incarnated Son, Jesus Christ — He Who IS our Savior, Final Judge, and Logos Alpha–Omega (as a fact ratified by the soul, not merely as a "story" told in the Holy Scriptures); the Revelation by means of the Creation itself (see: Romans 1:20); and the Revelation of the Holy Spirit abiding with us. And it seems clear to me that there is NO conflict among the various revelations He has given us, and continues to give us.
I gather such folks believe that it's all about the "correctness" of what one knows (or thinks one knows), and not about how one lives. Yet one's eternal salvation does not depend on the correct choice of a preposition in the interpretation of a holy text — as one FReeper recently seemed to suggest.
God does not "reduce" to a text.... We cannot live in openness to God if we are trying to reduce Him to a text that conforms to the level of our own imperfect understanding....
JMHO FWIW. Thanks so much for writing, dear brother in Christ!
