If it isn't suitable here, please send a PM when you get the chance. I'm not sure if the source I would cite is even around any more because that was a while ago, but trolling Christian forums remains a popular hobby for some. https://www.reddit.com/r/exchristian/comments/od5c6i/i_love_trolling_christians/?rdt=45094 https://www.reddit.com/r/exchristian/comments/pnfla9/how_to_troll_a_fundamental_christian/ https://billmuehlenberg.com/2014/11/14/telling-lies-for-jesus-on-dealing-with-trolls/ On one forum I was on a few years ago, one person in particular would sign up, post only pro-evolution propaganda, then disappear only to return under a new screen name. Eventually, a moderator banned his IP address. (Not a tekkie, but I think that's what it's called.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, hope of the resurrection rest in the Blood of Jesus Christ and not our understanding. The creation stories are the product of a time before the Bible prophets, meant to one up the pagan gods using the common knowledge of that era. They are strictly theological and not scientific.

No. I would not phrase it quite that way myself, but I agree the early chapters of Genesis are primarily theological. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are strictly theological and not scientific. Nothing about the Bible is scientific. The Bible contains 333 miracles, all of which are in defiance of the laws of science. Science is the study of the physical world. It can neither validate nor invalidate the supernatural. However, Jesus quoted these stories, so we know that they are true. In the 4th commandment God Himself confirms the six day creation. Genesis is the foundation for the Scriptures. It's not collection of tall tales told around a campfire. Truth lies not in the creation itself, but with the Creator of the creation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another way of looking at it is that science is the study of the effects of the super natural on the physical world without studying -looking at-the supernatural itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could it possibly incorporate the supernatural? It is the study of the natural. Among other things, it needs to be make predictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
