> "Might it not be a good idea to try to develop some understanding of
issues related to creation and evolution (including theological anthropology
and providence) from the NT? I am certainly not suggesting that we drop
Genesis (or for that matter Psalms or Isaiah or the rest of the OT) in
developing a full understanding of these issues. But it would be good
discipline for us to put a moratorium on debates about Genesis 1-11 & focus
on relevant NT texts (reflecting, of course, on related OT passages when
necessary for interpretation). " George Murphy (February 2, 2001)

> "I believe that the incarnation, cross and new creation are key to a full
theology of creation...." Also, see all of "A NT doctrine of creation (was
cannon within the canon)", which is full of Scripture references. Jonathan
Clarke (February 2, 2001)

> "... I do get the impression, upon reading Genesis 3, that something
fundamentally important occurred at the time of the Fall, apart from the
advent of sin, with the "opening of eyes" -- that, apparently, would not
have occurred without the disobedience." Gordon Simons (January 16, 2001)

> SUMMARY
>
> It is impossible to understand Genesis without appreciating that Genesis
describes the creation of a real, historical being called Adam, who is
blessed with perfect, eternal, and infinite reasonNO PART OF GENESIS SAYS
ANYTHING ABOUT ADAM'S REASON. In Genesis 3 Adam's reason is destroyed by
sin NO EVIDENCE FROM THE TEXT, which is essentially an act of rebellion
against the Person of eternal living truth. In rebelling against eternal
living truth Adam is plunged into utter irrationality NO EVIDENCEsave for
the grace and mercy of God. The Bible is the ultimate book of reason and
logic as it records how man's sense of reason is restored to its original,
living, eternally perfect and infinite state in Jesus Christ.I PREFER TO
ACCEPT THE BIBLE'S WORD FOR IT ESPECIALLY 2TIM3.16

> The logic of modern physics is governed by Einstein's principle of
RELATIVITY and by Heisenberg's principle of UNCERTAINTY (or AMBIGUITY). It
is proposed that these principles are the logical fruit of man's separation
from God YOU MUST BE JOKING. This separation from God can be identified
with original sin and the Fall of Adam. Being separated from God creates
logical confusion about absolute truth. In a futile attempt to eliminate
this confusion Adam (or man) has retreated to the logic of RELATIVE and
UNCERTAIN human truth.
>
> The difference between God's logic and man's fallen logic can be described
in A PURELY MATHEMATICAL WAY. This difference is related to symmetries for
COUNTING AND MEASURING with real and imaginary whole numbers in a positive
or negative direction in the complex plane. Faith in Jesus Christ (the
divine "logos", or absolute logic) restores man's logic to its pure,
original state SHOW ME A CHRISTIAN WHO IS PERFECT AS LUTHER SAID SIMUL
PECCATUR ET JUSTUS. In this state an arithmetic statement for counting or
measuring is unambiguously true or false in four individual ways. In this
state an arithmetic statement for counting or measuring is logically true or
false "in absolute truth." In absolute truth and logic a quantum theory of
gravity is absolute (and not relative mathematically), and Heisenberg's
uncertainty principle is no longer valid.
IF THIS IS NOT A JOKE THEN I FIND IT OFFENSIVE AS ONE SHOULD NOT READ INTO
HOLY SCRIPTURE WHAT IS NOT THERE NOR BEND AND TWIST SCRIPTURE FOR OUR OWN
ENDS.
WE ARE SUPPOSED TO TREAT SCRIPTURE WITH REVERENCE AND RESPECT NOT MANGLE IT.
SORRY TO BE SHARP BUT I ACCEPT THE AUTHORITY OF THE BIBLE AS GOD'S WORD
WHICH TELLS US HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN AND NOT ABOUT MATHS FROM GENESIS TO
REVELATION
YOURS VERY CONCERNED
