Re: ASA, ID, Blogs and my observations

1st, I said in my earlier post that you were playing the "poor me" card with tongue in cheek. I realize that you actually have a pretty good opinion of yourself.

2d, precisely the problem is that your starting point (& that of many others in such discussions) is wrong. While creation & Genesis are important, we have to start with the cross & resurrection if we expect to get any Christian insight into them. I am not "changing the subject" when I insist upon that but arguing for the proper way of approaching the subject.

3d, you're the one who started with the "village idiot" language. I repeat what I said before, that by no means do I think you're an idiot - but that I'm amazed at some of the goofy things you insist upon.

Official Declaration: I do not believe Glenn Morton to be the village idiot & retract any language of mine that suggests the contrary.

  You know George, it is sad when the person who accuses me of playing the poor me card (which I wasn't), then turns it around and plays poor me, you have misrepresented me. I find it ironic.

  The fact is we are not talking about the resurrection we have been talking about CREATION IN GENESIS, but you always want to go talk about other parts of the Bible than what is actually being discussed. Please stay on topic. I repeat my assertions: If God can't tell us anything tangible about reality, is he GOD?

  Your last statement proves my initial comment that you do think I am the village idiot--contra your initial claim. Should I add the letters Q.E. D. to this post?
