Rod Horncastle So then Robert:
When do we stop our science and jump on God's superior logic?

Or...

When do we jump off our God's superior logic and jump over to man's muddling scientific efforts?

I honestly think all good science validates the Bible. But as you say - miracles are miracles for a reason. We agree on that.
But I say adam & even are both science and logic.

Rod Horncastle One final point for tonight:

Science keeps trying to straighten out God's miracle of creation. This is dangerous - people blindly gobble it up all in the name of peer review.

There is a time when Christians have to make a stand and say "God is way ahead of your desperate efforts."
I have read studies where scientists are trying to turn love into a math puzzle.

Science has its limits. But I still think good science does nothing but point to God's brilliance and creativity.

Robert Core | 1864 comments Rod - I don't think the chasm between our positions is very wide. We can leave your questions as food for thought. I'll just say I think I can multitask, i.e. accept God's superior logic, but use science's newest findings to explain His creation miracle a bit better than the clumsy Genesis. Adam and Eve are a perfect example. They are of course human, but Homo sapiens? I doubt it; probably Homo erectus with about two-thirds the brain size of current humanity. Paleoanthropological findings support this. Ned, upon reading my book, fumed I'd called them "mental defectives". No, they were vastly superior to any animal, and an incredible creation with unpredictable decision making skills (which God, to His dismay, found couldn't resist ANY temptation). Some things never change, even with a bigger brain.
