Re: A profound disturbance found in Yak butter.

Well, a great Green Slug is a nonsense view and no amount of accommodation/concordism or even reckoning it to be a myth of great worth would mitigate its nonsense.

There is simply no picture of what God is like in Genesis or the rest of the bible so there is no problem here.

The accommodation is over the perception of the univesre and the ANE cosmology was a reasonable one for its day.

I will try your GGS on some Harvard students this august - assuming they have IQs in double figures!!

  Michael, I don't think you entirely understand my point. But that aside. I would appreciate it if you would answer the question:

  If a believer in a primitive religion, who believed that the Great Green Slug created the world, grew up, went to Harvard and found out that his religion had no support whatsoever scientifically and observationally, and he then decided that God was accommodating his message for the sake of his primitive ancestors and thus, his theology was true, even if the observational part wasn't, could this guy validly do that?

  Why can you do it and not him? Please answer the question this time. I think I have asked this of you about 100 times but the last time you responded, you said the question was nonsense. I don't think it is, and I don't think others here think it is nonsense. It may be uncomfortable for you to face up to your epistemology, but it is also uncomfortable for the YEC to face his.

    As yak butter sounds yukky I haven't yet responded.

    My one comment is to support Randy. I cannot see any real difference between
    your view of Genesis with the Flood so long ago than the awful
    anti-scriptural idea of ACCOMMODATION.

    Glenn, I now formally welcome you into the Accommodationalists'
    (metaphorical) camp on condition you do not eat my dog Holly
