Isapop Have you reconsidered your position, given the passages I quoted? Ah, yes, sorry for not getting back to you. I hope you see that my post, along with my tongue-in-cheek responses to Graham, was an attempt to "stir the pot" a bit. Remember how we spoke earlier about a lack of Christians on this board willing to earnestly engage? This very thread is an example. (I stalled on answering you hoping that some real Christians might jump in. They didn't.)
Anyway
Your point is certainly well taken. Of course it could lead to an argument over which Bible references to earth are literal and which ones figurative. Maybe the earth lasts forever, but not in its current form. And that's assuming the Bible isn't contradicting itself (large assumption). Here's something you might find interesting from someone who thinks it can all be reconciled (you can tell from the title of his website). defendinginerrancy.com/bible-solutions/Psalm_104.5.php
That is essentially consistent with what I believed when I was a practicing Christian. |

The news today was that he revised his claim.
He's now saying instead that the Earth will be a shithole by 2023.

What evidence?
Well predicted! So... are you going to tell me this evidence? Or will it be (to make a prediction of my own!) that you will use some tired excuse to avoid giving the evidence? First, YOU tell ME something.
How do you break up quotes so you can respond to a piece at a time? It's annoying that I don't know how to do that.
BTW, I wrote a short tutorial that will allow your quotes to contain the poster's name, avatar, and timestamp: IMDB2.freeforums.net/thread/66395/multi-quoting-posts |

That sounds like school. I still have dreams about being in school. Assignments I haven't done. Tests I haven't studied for. My locker that I can't find. Not to mention no pants. WHEN WILL IT END? |

I hate to say it about Hawking, but for the past few years he's seemed (at least to me) to be more about shock value pop-sci than anything resembling real science. Maybe he's jealous of Tyson's popularity. Yeah.. I hate to say it, but I think the same thing happened to Carl Sagan, to some extent, towards the end of his career, too. ....but, I said it anyways. |
