Sorry, I meant possibilities other than "an evolutionary emergent phenomenon where inorganic material reactions create life"

> I think it’s highly likely with lots of circumstantial evidence that life is an evolutionary emergent phenomenon where inorganic material reactions create life Out of curiosity, …

Also: I have easy access to a few pipe organs (mostly small, but not all of them), so if anyone has questions feel free to ask; general organ questions are also welcome, of course.…

As someone who is both an organ nerd and... I'll say very religiously conservative (although that's only relevant to some points), a couple things people in this thread might find …

100% accurate and 100% literal are far from the same thing.

This may indeed work as an analogy to an extent, but I think its failing is when it comes to the idea of life from non-life.

Yeah, I should probably just dispute them all at some point.

True, this is also something I should look into further (also, for example, to make sure that they don't force ads when a copyright claim is put on). Of course, that I don't ever l…

I've had the same experience (although I don't remember if it was specifically the melody being claimed). I don't always bother to dispute them (in my understanding, most of them j…

See also 1 Peter 1:25 and Mark 13:31.

Perhaps better support for 2a/b would be 1 Peter 1:25 and Mark 13:31.

I suppose maybe I'm missing something, but this seems a bit on the vague side. Furthermore, I am far from an expert on the history of biblical texts; to be quite frank there's a ge…

Indeed, some points were a bit unclear. This is literalism in the sense of "God is real, created the world, Jesus lived and died to save you from your sins", not "there is no figur…

Thank you for making this point. It is important to recognize that the Bible does make use of a variety of literary techniques (eg. psalms, parables, etc. especially). However, the…

Looking through the top few, most appear to be intentional misinterpretation, one has to do with much of the Old Testament law not applying in the New Testament (see above or below…

1. Grew up there. 2a. "Verbal inspiration" - while the words were written by people and they certainly did recount their experiences in their own styles (perhaps involving consulti…

I don't know enough about those events to make a judgement. Is this intended to lead to a broader question as to my views about the Catholic church?

You're welcome! Hopefully it goes well.

This may be a very bad idea. But as (in the words of the at-present top comment) a fundamentalist adhering to scriptural literalism (aka a conservative Lutheran) [addendum: who doe…

Is this happening? (Just wondering because of discussion elsewhere in this thread.)

I created this account on the idea that it would probably be more productive to have political discussion separate from (unrelated) technical discussion, and probably be beneficial…

I would also be interested.
