It appears that Joel does not like discussions about the historicity
of Genesis (which certainly involves science!)
I am assuming (Joel rarely contributes to discussions) that Joel feels
there is no historicity to Gen 1-11.
Joel, there are Christians who would consider such thinking "heretical."
I'm one of them.
If the thought of Gen 1-11 being real history makes you so uncomfortable
that you can't even read e-mails, then maybe you just need to accept that
the Author of the Bible intended them to be real history. There is a ton
of backup out there to support that.
And, discussion is absolutely necessary to filter out bad ideas (such
as Mike's 4,000 years from Adam to Christ :-).
How about contributing to these discussions instead of judging them?
The Bible is pretty clear about the dangers of judging.
There is much more that I could say, but I wouldn't want to waste your
precious, holier-than thou time.
Disgusted,
Jim
