Re: [asa] Laminin and the Cruciform Creation?

It might be helpful as an illustration but to do that you should start with the cross & then speak about laminin & its function rather than present things in the reverse order as here. Early Christians - e.g., Justin Martyr - saw the cross in a lot of things - the human face, a ship's sail, a plow &c.

Any claim that laminin is in "the perfect shape of the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ" would have to contend with the likelihood that the cross on which Jesus was crucified was T-shaped, with the crosspiece being placed on the upright.

& as he clses with Col.1:20 I wonder if he realizes the implications of "all things" in that verse, or if he would pull back from it for fear of universalism.

  Here is an interesting video of a sermon using the protein laminin as a sort of object lesson: http://www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=152b5103d741aca61093

  I'm not offering this link to make fun of it, though I suspect that, like me, many of you will raise eyebrows over it. The person who brought it to my attention was quite touched by it. What is a proper response, which is neither scoffing, nor credulous?
