"Or it can mean the first meaning... "
Give me a break. Anyone can se that the plain reading is going to the top of the mountain to see the kingdoms. YOu have greatly twisted that to support your alternate interpretation.
"Or, I could consult the Bible... the word of God... instead of the word of man. You re-affirm over and over you would rather believe the word of man over the word of God. "
Give me a break. Picking up a textbook to see what the ancient Jews thought there world looks like is putting man over the word of God. You have got to be kidding. Anyone who would do so would see that the flat earth surrounded by the waters of the deep with a dome over the top is what they believed. And the plain reading of scripture supports this.
"Your reverence of the word of man over the Word of God is again appearant. "
Give me a break. I was pointing out that men of God have considered the Creation non-literal since before any old earth theories came on the scene. That in no way is putting the words of man over the words of God. Or have you never read a Bible commentary?
"Once you change your position from believing scripture to be a fairy tale to being inspired absolute truth, we can then discuss the physical evidence."
Give me a break. At no time have I said anything of the sort. Do you honestly think I would be sitting here discussing this with you if I thought the Bible was a bunch of fairy tails. That has got to be the most biggest bunch of demagoguery I have heard in a long time. I cannot believe you feel the need to resort to such ridiculous staements.
"Once you change your position from believing scripture to be a fairy tale to being inspired absolute truth, we can then discuss the physical evidence."
You have shown absolutely no interest in addressing the overwhelming physical evidence against you. Instead you misrepresent my position and accuse me falsely.
"Clearly, UTE, you seriously do not believe that the Bible is true as written. You believe, as you have stated, that they wrote according to their worldview which was a "little off" and that you didn't think God considered giving us the truth."
I think people know my oppinion by now. I do not believe God considered important to enlighten us in such things through His Word.
"Robert Boyle, a pioneer in atomic theory, chemistry, and gas dynamics was a young earth creationist"
Typical of the twisting done in the name of YEC. How many years before Darwin did he live? What would be the chances that he would be an old earther beforethe advent of modern geology and biology. And thing to prove a point, eh?
"When you come to the realization that the Bible is absolute truth - not a fairy tale - let me know and we'll have a fun discussion of the evidences in the physical world."
More slander. I disagree with you and that means I think the Bible is a fairy tale. You have got to be kidding.
