Vernon -- once you asked me why I (and others) did not take your
claims made here more seriously.
The above exerpt from your recent post is one reason.
Not only is it silly, it is uncivil in the extreme. More than
that -- it exhibits hubris which turns people away from
anything else you might say. To insist that
everyone must interpret scripture exactly as you do
is to "play god."
I do not "insist" that the flood was local, but that seems to be
the most reasonable position. I see no conflict between that
position and a high view of scripture. Perhaps there
is a conflict -- but to insist that I, and Gordon, and many
others who hold the local flood position are manipulating
scripture is an insult.
