Ted,
<< I don't share Bill Payne's point that Bryan died "in humiliation" a few
days
after the Scopes trial. He died, yes, but after what most fundamentalists
regarded as a victory for their side: ETC>>
This raises a question I have been wanting to ask you. I am hypothesizing
that whenever the Church has gone up against modern science on a particular
scientific issue, i.e, modern science says, "X", but the Bible says, "not X"
that the Church has at least over time lost the battle. Would you agree with
this or can you tell me of exceptions?
Also, I agree with you that White's A History of the Warfare... is not
trustworthy, at least in the details; but, would you say it is fundamentally
reliable? And, is there a substitue book(s) that covers the same ground more
soundly? And, if not, is there some source(s) where one could check on
White's presentations?
Paul
