You were the perfect guy for the projects. Not just a Hebraists,, but a physicist who couldn't be backed down by science-babbel. The Lord was up to something, wasn't he?
The stars: I live in a city, and the stars look impressive...but when I'm away from city lights and the night is all dark to the horizon...the stars are astonishing...gob-smacking...thrilling...literally and metaphorically 'out of this world'. But, it could mean long ages....as some say. And yes, it could be, if the passage used different words, a different structure and a in a different genre...and your point is?
Proving creationism from your scriptures does not prove God created things. Very poor explanation for non-believers sorry. However, while I am here, let me ask all evolutionists a question. Supposing you are correct, suppose a living animal or human was evolved from matter and the result was a single male or female species ok! Now, what next? You have a SINGLE species, so where did the next one come from.... the second one? And when the second one did magically evolve after another billion years, the first one was already dead and gone right? Get my point now? Its impossible that 2 of the same species could ever manifest at the same time, to be able to procreate and multiply. The only way for that to happen is for a male and female of every species of animal and humans to suddenly appear/evolve at the same time. Now you and me both know that can only happen if someone/something other than evolution "caused" it to happen. A wilful action that is. So the evidence of evolution is not even a weak one.... its totally useless in the scheme of things. So my question again is to evolutionists is: After the first living thing manifested via evolution... what happened next? And no guessing ok... only proof of facts.
0:52 We are actually all born atheists, not Creationists. A parent, or some other authority, must tell a child about God and Creationism in order for them to be a Creationist. 7:16 'Creation scientist' is an oxymoron. Creationists are always quick to point out that they don't do science in the statements of faith on their various websites, where they claim they reject and deny any and all science that is at odds with Genesis. In science, conclusions are thrown out when the evidence disproves them. In Creationism, evidence is thrown out when the beliefs don't agree with it.
So grateful to the Lord for all of you. You bring not only wisdom, but also joy to the hearer.
So glad you guys do this. It's helped me tremendously

Dr Boyd I have appreciated your analysis of Hebrew verbs in Genesis 1. Can you do similar analysis for chapter 2?
Exactly right, Dr. Boyd. How can anyone look up in the skies and not believe in a Creator? Appreciate the perspective of your 'Cross'-training.
Pretty easy. You just need to start from not having been indoctrinated/poisoned by religion.
@Ναζωραῖος What are you babbling about?

Why hello
Genesis history
Of course not total mythology

Hmmm, so you cannot provide an answer... instead you palm me off to wiki. You would make a good politition.
blue-green algae which we find in earliest fossils and are still alive today are Asexual. They don't need to hook up with the opposite sex!

“We are actually all born atheists“ - Is that why every single culture in the world believes in a god and the soul?
