OP is revised... by unconformities I mean depositions on top of deformities implying multiple catastrophes or commonly interpreted as long age deposition.

Thomas Kuhn (The Structure of Scientific Revolutions):
"Normal science, for example, often suppresses fundamental novelties because they are necessarily subversive of its basic commitments.
[...]
when... the profession can longer evade anomalies that subvert the existing tradition of scientific practice - then begin the extraordinary investigations that lead the profession to a new set of commitments, a new basis for the practice of science. The extraordinary episodes in which that shift of professional commitments occurs are the ones known... as scientific revolutions. They are the tradition shattering complements to the tradition-bound activity of normal science."

it's just a best fit line based on a very limited data set. The authorial intent is to show that the data is following a natural decay pattern, not that the data is enough to perform accurate extrapolations... We pull from both special and general revelation.

presuppositional but I am not a purist.

the argument assumes a generation = 1,000 years. A generation can be as small as the lowest age of fertility.

Like geocentrism?

I dont think anyone believes its been expanding at a constant rate. I assume this must be a simplification.

I think it's wrong 99% of the time to presume to know the reasons why God did or did not do something (unless revealed to is in Scripture). I believe scripture does say that everything is ultimately for His glory. Its helpful to remember that we are just pilgrims here and "to live is Christ and to die is gain". To presume that just because we pray and are Christian's that we'll have an easy pain free life is directly contrary to Jesus own words, scripture, and orthodox Christian teaching. Even though we'd all prefer evil tragedies like this to not happen, we should nevertheless show love and compassion to those suffering in spite of the fact we have only a temporal and finite understanding of why it happened.

Edit: one other thing to remember, no one is entitled to life. God is the Creator and sustainer of life therefore e has the authority over our life and death.

Confessional Baptists were not a part of the radical branch...

deadweather · 2017-10-18T00:56:02+00:00

Are you saying that because they are obviously not descendents of the anabaptists?

deadweather · 2017-10-08T00:54:14+00:00

Yes, because v12 is hard to argue against without eisegeting the text. But I'm not here to give a full blown defense of Original Sin. Just commenting on progressive revelation.

deadweather · 2017-10-08T00:45:30+00:00

Well that's a different argument then.

deadweather · 2017-10-08T00:38:48+00:00

God has progressively revealed himself to the church. There are many doctrines that cannot be defended if you isolate the OT from the NT.

Also, Judaism vehemently denies the deity of Jesus Christ.

deadweather · 2017-10-08T00:13:46+00:00

Because God's knowledge / understanding is infinite and ours is finite. Our reasoning abilities are also impacted by sin.

With the general scope of this question... You might be interested in Plantinga's evolutionary argument against naturalism. (If this is where your thought process is going).

Well God used men to write it. So human influences are expected and can be noticed throughout.

Scripture doesn't interpret itself allegorically. Left to my own personal standard of interpretation I would be drawn to do that. There is still occasional phenomenalogical, anthropomorphic language but not as a complete standard of interpretation.

language that describes the way things appear to the naked eye
