:Robert: Sorry for the extended absence. Tending matters in various parts of the wilderness. God's people are everwhere I'm happy to report, even in the most unlikely places.

DDN: Uhh....Who exactly are God's people? Aren't we all God's people just by virtue of being FROM God?


:Robert: There is a difference between an attempt at "proving" God on the one hand, and merely trying to demonstrate that the text of the Bible is true to exactly what it says it is. I nor anyone else could ever "prove" God, or he wouldn't be God. However, to show that these remarkable Biblical passages (scientific and otherwise), facts unknown to ancient man at the time, are indeed now shown to demonstratably true by modern science is in itself a testimony to the power of Bible.

DDN: What remarkable biblical passages?

:Robert: The question then becomes, If ancient man could get it right, and modern man struggled until the 20th Century to understand it, how did he know it way back in 700 B.C.?

:NOW belief comes in. God had to tell him these remarkable things. The Bible couldn't be a man-made product.


DDN: Get WHAT right? Understand what? Know what? And whatever IT is, how this constitute proof of divine intervention? Just because ancient man knew about something that modern man does not know about? What does that have to do with divine intervention or God? Or "Belief" - whatever that means. Some knowledge got lost, so what? Sounds more like proof of Satanic intervention than it does of God.


:Robert: A little stray from the course. Which came first protiens or amino acids?

DDN: Amino acids?

:Robert: May our dear Lord, Jesus Christ, richly amd most abundantly Bless you today.

DDN: A little stray from the course: If Jesus was Jewish why does he have a Spanish name? Think about it.
