Rich, it may come as a shock to you, but not everyone
has the same opinion of the work of Kevin McDonald and
others that you have touted on this list as validation
of your particular theories.
rich:
I'm not shocked. You're true to form. I have offered no opinions. I provide
references for everything I say - mainstream references and I do not draw
heavily on MacDonald, but no one here has demonstrated a command of any of
these issues, either from scripture or science.
Thanks, in part to your constant refrain, I am well
aware of their work and the critiques of their work
and find their flawed and lacking in many
methodological respects, not to mention the massive
problems I have with drawing theological conclusions
from such work.
rich:
You haven't demonstrated to me a grasp of any of the issues, but you have as
have others, been opinionated. As for theological issues, MacDonald does
not relate to the theological issues. He is a scientist, not a religionist.
I have no desire to debate you about the merits of
this position because I don't think that it would be
in any sense useful. You have frequently been less
than civil in your responses to a host of people on
this list who have attempted to make detailed
responses to your assertions.
rich:
Only a few days ago one of you offered an apology to me offline for their
online behavior so perhaps my descent into incivility is simply defensive,
but please quote my incivility. I was called a racist today. I'm touching a
nerve but instead of debating me, there is name calling.
You appear firmly convinced about your particular
positions and validated by MacDonald, et al, whose
work I do not find at all validating for many of the
claims they make much less the theological claims you
make. (The example you give of Dick educating you re
the 2900 flood is inapposite to the above statement
since that does not touch your core theological
interpretations.)
rich:
What knowledge of MacDonald's work have you displayed? When?
As per usual, I suspect I will not be responding to
whatever reply you might have.
rich:
That's it. It must be infectous. Make a snide remark and withdraw as if
you've accomplished something.
