    The cases you present verify the data I already provided. There is a small part of all human populations and societies that are born with dissociative sexual identity. These cases you provided demonstrate that it is not after birth bad parenting that "causes" these problems, but genetics. On...

    CS1: Research shows that about 32% to 42% of transgender individuals report attempting suicide at some point in their lifetimes. When you look at a cultural rejection, political hate mongering and alienation from friends and families and from "God's People," It is understandable why the pain...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    I can see your resistance. Science learly states 1% - 2% of the population express a uncharastic association with their biological determined expression of sexuality. You can see that as a reason to reject these people and the science that identifies the statistical reality in support of a...

    I can see your resistance. Clearly states 1% - 2% of the population express a uncharastic association with their biological biology. You can see that as a reason to reject these people and the science that identifies the statistical reality in support of a political party, but not from a...

    Good choice. BTW not much science of the earth is in the news. The oldest known intact rock formations on Earth are roughly 4.0 to 4.16 billion years old. The primary contenders include the Acasta Gneiss in Canada's Northwest Territories (dated up to 4.02–4.2 billion years old) and volcanic...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    There is only frustration and discomfort using a very sophisticated highly scientific infrastructure and advanced software to declare science is not valid when it conflicts with my dogmas. It is equivalent to calling someone on the phone to tell them you don't believe in phones.... The reality...

    NightTwister; Adam is very interesting. What would an adult person who had no family, no culture, no ability to count or write or learn a language understand anything about what human being is without family and how can they even talk or name all animals of the earth and sky or intuitively...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    I noted your item #4 but is buried under the standard declarations. It does not call for conversion only trying to obey. Matthew 25 is absent as a definition of what "trying to obey" entails. Your definition of morally accountable as something "damnable." Moral accountability is the heartbeat...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    GWH IMHO, You struggle with the creation and definition of a creed like your forbearers. Your creed lacks the same core element that all the other creeds I have reviewed over the years. It is totally focused on the vertical relationship with God thru Christ. There is a lot that can be said about...

    #1 Is not acceptable to those descendants of Calvin because of the "morally accountable humans" which anathema to most Calvinist and many other denominations as it implies that humans can be morally responsible.

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    rewriter: The history of Paul will always be a bit murky. Paul was a nobody to the Romans. However, the most extensive and brutal persecution of Christians in the possible lifetime of Paul came from Nero. Nero is known for initiating severe persecutions against Christians, particularly after the...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    This sounds like Rewriter, so I will respond to the particulars in light of my interpretation of your broader eschatology. As for Paul's generally accepted writings, first we know that all but Romans were "occasional" letters meaning they were written to church communities because of an event or...

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    GWH The plural of anecdote is anecdotes. Anecdotes are not data. They are used to fill in gaps in a incomplete set of data but by definition they are opinion and experienced based assumptions, intuitions and speculations. The text in 1 Corinthians 15 is problematic on several levels 3 For what...

    Rewriter: Currently, we can look back about 13.5 million years ago seeing light that existed at the "beginning" of all the Universes when it wa a couple of hundreds of thousands years of yrs old.

    How has science impacted your perspective on the Hebrew Bible?

    I understand that perspective. If you will also notice that there are two creation stories in Genesis and their authors and editors adopting the Mesopotamian flood myths of 1,500 years earlier. The creation story in Genesis 2:4 plus says the earth was void when God began to create it into the...

    Is Salvation an event or a process?

    When do facts become a "lecture" "in praise of communism." If I have erred on the facts, please correct me! I explained that the difference between Marx's idea and what evolved from it is horrible and now dead Communist Russia where Oligarchs now rule with no connection to the "voters." Does...
