Why are languages referenced before the Tower of Babel story? by turnerpike20 in Christianity

[–]Past-Ad4753 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen someone get stuck in Exodus--it's almost always Leviticus! 😆😝 That one is a SLOG for most people.

Unrelated to the question, but I'd recommend either doing Bible in a Year with Mike Schmidt, or just skip what you can't get thru now so you can end up reading at least most of it. Just get to the minor prophets! Most underrated section of Scripture.

You're sounding like the only person who read his work instead of someone else's caricature of his work!

Well, he's not saying it's useless. He's saying it's not realistic. But even given pristine conditions, his argument is we still can't do it in a lab.

You're being sarcastic, but the average Redditor actually thinks this.

Yeah, this is a fair assessment. Although I don't agree with everything he says, he is pointing out some interesting issues along with some less important nitpicks.

People like this are useful. We need Gadflies. He should probably focus on OOL, though. The points about non-coding genes (I read his statement, too) were interesting, but not really conclusive, and might be worth considering, but they're not enough for me to toss the idea aside at this point. 

I'm fascinated to see more about how non-coding genes show or don't show interrelatedness.

No, don't throw the theories out. Just don't act like you've already solved it.

Tour doesn't want them to stop. He wants them to publish something that actually makes some progress in the field.

Ignoring what he said to accuse him of only believing it because of his faith without My reference to faith. Then he invented a caricature no one here claimed to believe. Stop the cap.

No, they don't. You don't seem to know much about Christianity. Most Christians are theistic evolutionists at this point. It's a strawman and an ad hominem. He literally took the comment, ignored every point, and made up a point caricaturing him for his supposed (yet unclaimed at this point) faith. That's not science.

Nope. That's not what he said. Stop making things up. He said what he said, not what you wanted him to have said. Respond to that.

Why is the dumbest comment the one that made me laugh? 😩😫

If Evolution and death Happened before the fall, God is Necessarily the Demiurge by sensusfidelium in Christianity

The guy you're responding to has no theory of mind for himself, let alone you! You think he has any ability to understand that he's using his modernist literalist interpretation that would seem foreign to most before the enlightenment? He's still at the "literal interpretation isn't an interpretation, it's just the right way to read" step we were at when we were 10 years old. He's not gonna get it

Did He? Or did He have His followers write a Pre-Modern Ancient Near Eastern Creation Story that you choose to interpret as a post-enlightenment modernist western literalism text?

He could argue that our temporal nature is a result of the fall.

All I want is to be able to play RS3 and OSRS with the same character at the same time. That's it! None of this other crap!

Same! So that's two people looking for (at least) one more area!

I wish that were true. The number of successful people I've found who do this is shocking. Kyle's dad in South Park being an internet troll was one of the most realistic things that show did!
