Genesis 3
A Voice In The Wilderness :
- ----- -- --- ----------
Personally, I believe in the big bang theory. A few thousand years ago God
said "Let there be..." and BANG....there was.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to
nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the
scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish
the wisdom of this world? I Corinthians 1:19-20
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God
is stronger than men. I Corinthians 1:25
By the way, the silly grin on my face is because God is good to me. Come
quickly Lord Jesus.

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His

In article <409@terak.UUCP> david@terak.UUCP (David Jayakaran) flippantly thumbs his nose at the idea of evolution. I'll wait for him to post to net.origins if he wants to risk being rebutted. However, his quotations from the bible make me wonder about Christian viewpoints on a few questions. > For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to > nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? Where is the > scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish > the wisdom of this world? I Corinthians 1:19-20 Does this fate apply to those wise in the study of the Bible? And what fate does your god have in store for the foolish? > Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God > is stronger than men. I Corinthians 1:25 What is the foolishness of God? And the weakness of God? Surely they must have something in mind. The important question I have is: Purportedly God has provided inspired text for us to study. He has also provided an inspired creation for us to study. Why should either have precedence and why?

> [] > > Some fun facts and definitions : i found your comments on evolution to be quite amusing. however, they wouldn't do you a lot of good in a serious argument with an evolutionist. to blindly poke fun at the scientific world is silly. Not only do you claim (you is a general you) to be oppressed in the same way, but each of you HAS provided many benefits. The scientific world is responsible for, among other things, modern medicine and the current longevity of our species. the primary credit i give to organized religion (that even a terminal non-believer can see) is that it gives its followers a pool of strength to draw on. it doesn't really matter whether that strength comes from a god or gods, from the group of people, or even from inside themselves. in any of these cases, they probably couldn't tap into it without help. religion is often the help they need. it gives shelter, explanation, promise of someone MORE responsible than them (a father figure), and hope for the future if not the present. in this way religion is responsible for our mere survival at times. while i can point to much in science that is tangible, I am hard pressed to be able to point out anything having to do with god and religion, though the socio-cultural benefits are readily ascertained. i'm not saying evolution was necessarily correct (though i believe it to be so), but to toss it out the window with no serious consideration whatsoever seems more to stem from a kind of snobbery among the higher members of the animal kingdom, a sort of self-righteous indignation at being forced to look back on the days when man glorifying god might have been when he went out foraging for food in the wild and feeding his family. or a day when man was less 'god-like' (or maybe more so, seeing as since he had no free will he must have done god's will at all times). if you expect people not to throw shit at you, you can't introduce yourself by pulling a used barf bag over their head. larry... -- uucp: ..mit-eddie!cybvax0!cci-bdc!larry arpa: henrik@mit-mc.ARPA This mind intentionally left blank.
