This lie you’ve bought into is getting tiresome, Richard,

It is a point of view, not a lie.

@St.Roymond

People who actually know and understand science have corrected you repeatedly,

There is no right or wrong here.

@St.Roymond

You’ve made an idol out of science

Cobblers!

I have done nothing of the sort.

You and I both know that God is not a part of scientific theory. Just because you sneak Him in the back door does not change anything.

Embarrassed by the beliefs of fellow Christians.

I am embarrassed by the beliefs of YECs because they make the Gospel unwelcome by insisting that people deny science and basic principles of literature.

Is that being embarrassed by their beliefs, or being embarrassed by the behaviour that sustains those beliefs?^[1]

I insist that they stop treating the text like last century’s newspaper and setting a materialistic worldview above the scriptures.

If that is what you see then you have a jaundiced view.

I see faithful Christians who have decided to put Scripture above science and the empirical method

@St.Roymond

They do damage to the faithful, and for that Paul himself would rebuke them

Paul would believe what they do. Whether he would change his mind if confronted with science is pure speculation.

Paul would also turn in his grave if he saw how the modern church accepts both women and heterosexuality. Do you think he would change his mind on that as well?

Admit it. You object to people not accepting science as you do, and that includes me.

So are your claims about what Paul would believe and how he would react.
