RE: [asa] E.O. Wilson "Baptist No More"

Does adding all sorts of non-scientific extra-biblical miracles, like
kangaroos on floating mats or changing the rate of radioactive decay or
dinosaurs on the Ark, count as adding to the word of God?
 
Does science count as the kind of righteousness for which scripture is
profitable in teaching?
 
Does accepting the POWER of God in producing the Big Bang 13.6 billion years
ago count as faith?
 
Wasn't the tree of life (Rev 22:19) in the Garden of Eden? Where did it go
after that? Or was that scripture a non-scientific (non-biological)
statement about two trees in the garden?

Subject: RE: [asa] E.O. Wilson "Baptist No More"

I posted part of the original message to my Southern Baptist Sunday School
class. This was the response from the class leader, a truly nice guy, a
devout Christian, and someone I genuinely like and respect:

Dick,

I read the attached message.

I just want to say that I do not accept or agree with Science in regards to

Christianity.

I accept God's word as inerrant in its entirety from Genesis to Revelation.

I want to first reference: Revelations 22: 18 & 19 (NASB) (18) "I testify

to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone
adds

to them, God will add to him the Plagues which are written in this book;
(19)

and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God

will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which
are

written in this book."

2nd reference II Timothy 3: 16 & 17 (NASB) (16) "All Scripture is inspired

by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for
training

in righteousness; (17) so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for

eery good work.

Also, one very important point in Hebrews 11:6 (NASB) "And without faith it

is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is

and that He is a re-warder of those who seek Him."

Also, by faith we must accept the POWER of God.

Having said this Dick I just want to say, please do not be sending out false

doctrine. I will not be discussing this any further. As I said earlier I

truly believe and accept God's word as being inspired by the Holy Spirit.

You are welcome in class just don't be trying to lead anyone astray.
