Re: Kansas defining science from Re: There they go again

I heard the story from one of my lecturers at Durham (tr tenured prof) who
later went to head theology at Nottingham - John Heywood Thomas who wrote at
least one book on Tillich. It's a good story whether about Bultmann or
Tillich and I hope no one takes it literally as literal history!George M
also heard the bultmann version.

The important thing about the resurrection is whether or not an empty was
left behind. even so it was NOT a physical resurrection.

Hope the ID and YEC lose at Kansas
