Re: What, In God's Name? by Michael Barry
I'm trying desperately to refrain from spiteful remarks. I would appreciate the same. The time of the video is relevant to what we've learned over the past 28 years, surely? How many times have you heard, "What we once believed to be... we now know to be?"

Re: What, In God's Name? by Michael Barry
Please Google "evolution." It is impossible to have a fruitful discussion unless we're all using the same terms in the same ways.Michael Barry wrote:If you've got any children running around, you and a female human being created them, and they evolved.
Children don't evolve in the womb or in their lifetimes. "Development" and "growth" are not synonymous with evolution.

I don't use a foreign dictionary, Chris. I use the Oxford English Dictionary. I inserted the definition in an earlier post.
Evolve: Develop gradually by a natural process.

Re: What, In God's Name? by Michael Barry
Michael Barry, I'd like to ask a question, if I may? Do you see Genesis as being literally true? In other words, did God create the world in six days, and then rest on the seventh day? Did God make Eve from Adam's rib, and did God really flood the world, killing all creatures except for Noah's clan and two of every kind? I'm not sure where you're coming from, but I suspect these are the bedrock of your beliefs.

Michael, I've linked the definition for the word "evolution" in the OED below. It appears you are using definitions 5A and B. Notice the OED lists both of those definitions as "rare" or "historical."Michael Barry wrote:I don't use a foreign dictionary, Chris. I use the Oxford English Dictionary. I inserted the definition in an earlier post.
Evolve: Develop gradually by a natural process.
BookTalk uses definitions 8A and B. In modern conversations, these are the assumed uses of the word "evolution." If you cannot use those definitions, we are not talking about the same thing as Chris stated earlier and your book will confuse the average reader.

Re: What, In God's Name? by Michael Barry
would that be the same Adam and Eve that shared their story with a talking snake? is the talking snake the DNA double helix?MB wrote:Three human beings have lived on Earth with everlasting life. They are: Adam and Eve (the first two humans depicted in the book of Genesis), and Jesus.
do you take the story literally or figuratively? or a mixture of the two? or a third way?
but without righteousness there could be no unrighteousness as the words have an inverse relationship ie. one is the inverse of the other.MB wrote:We are the only ‘beings’ in the universe who are still contaminated with the knowledge of good and bad; contaminated with unrighteousness.
r / ur
you see a whole there divided into righteousness (r) on the left and unrighteousness (ur) on the right
it's just a division of the whole by category?
yes, and i'm going with the unarguable fact that no fact is inarguable and there are three talking pumpkins known as the desert elders who are genetically related to the porcupine tree, if you don't embrace this fact you'll never get me at all.MB wrote:And I’m going with the unarguable fact that there was a human being on Earth who was ‘genetically’ like no other, known as Jesus. If you don’t embrace these three facts, you’ll never get me at all.

Re: What, In God's Name? by Michael Barry
just had to quote thatMB wrote:Jesus was born with the tree of life organ attached to his appendix tube.
i'm enjoying the book by the way, it is inspiring all sorts of possibilities.
...oh, another quote i couldn't go past without quoting
MB wrote:There are millions of people under the illusion that they understand Jesus, but I would say that there are none
whatsoever.

Re: What, In God's Name? by Michael Barry
i'm enjoying the book immensely and these quotes are just a bonus really, the next time i meet an innately righteous person i shall inform them that it's obvious they have a 24th pair of chromosomes and a tree of life organ attached to their appendix and that MB has said so!MB wrote:It’s obvious he had a 24th pair of chromosomes in his body cells, and the tree of life organ attached to his appendix tube. He was innately righteous.
