Hi Marque. Nice to see a new spirit on board. (for those of us who believe in
spirits and souls.)
Anyhow, to butt in: --- in the "for what it is worth" category.
I do not think that one can validly argue about the impossibility of what God
can do. I.E. too much water! -- where did it go to? etc.
As scientists we can, however, argue about the residual evidence on the earth.
That is an issue of what God _DID_ do, rather than what He _CAN_ do. That has
been the past focus and I believe that it is the correct focus. God could have
done creation in 6 literal days, for example -- but the physical evidence seems
not to support this. As scientists we need evidence -- not calculations of
impossibilities. With our God everything is possible -- but not all all things
are refuted by the residual physical evidence.
As I recall, your argument was based solely upon a "physical impossibility"
(miracle) that God would not be able to make happen. If we took that
as a basis,
then the entire gospel message would be in question. That would make the
Spongers very happy.
I think.
