(urth) S&S vs. SF in BotNS

[Gerry Quinn]

From: Marc Aramini 



The ancient Greek mathematician Eratosthenes who predicted the size of the spherical earth and the distance to the sun based on shadows in a well was using what he could to come to correct conclusions when thousands of years of incorrect thought would follow him.  But he was using scientific practice and his approximations were GOOD.  There is a bottom to get to, and reproducibility is key.  Thus I, who believe God set everything in motion but allowed the freedom of that creation, would never deny evolution, when on a small scale with simple organisms it can be reproduced in a lab.  So I believe in the inifinite wisdom of man to get to the bottom of things completely accurately and in the absolute power of God to never be limited by words on a page.

I was scanning this list tonight, I have no time to reply for some  days.  But I must say to this: well said, Marc!

And Happy Christmas all.
