This is from the 1980's or so, they haven't changed a thing since then.

Originally posted by sonhouseI have never used any argument about some bullfrog proteins being like humans in the same way that Chimpanzee proteins are like humans. But since we are all made of proteins, I would not doubt that some proteins in other animals, like pigs and cows that we eat, may be like human proteins. So this article seems stupid to imply that only the proteins in chimpanzees are like human proteins. This is nonsense in my opinion.

Originally posted by WulebgrIt is my experience that evilution has been built on lies. 😏
The point, however, RJH, is that nearly everything you post is either a lie concocted by someone else that you are passing along, or it is your own original lie. Creationism is built on the solid basis of lies and misunderstandings both about science and about the Bible.
Originally posted by RJHindsI feel in a good mood today, so I will attempt to engage you in conversation against my better judgement.
Perhaps you should really consider the evidence instead of believing the evilution lies and propaganda. 😏
Originally posted by RJHindsEvidence is precisely why I am no longer a creationist. I was in the 1980s, but efforts to defend these views in the face of overwhelming evidence for evolution and the realization that I was wholly misunderstanding several aspects of basic science, led me out of the darkness into the light.

Originally posted by WulebgrExactly my own experience, wulebgr - except that I cannot read Greek and Hebrew, although I have a basic understanding of the differences between these two cultures.

Originally posted by WulebgrSome years ago I read a book on the early (post-apostolic) theologians. One of the chapters was on the early Syrian Church—in which theology was only done as poetry, since it was assumed to be presumptuous to make propositional truth claims about, or descriptive prose statements about the (ultimately) ineffable divine. I liked that. Of course, there’s also the apophatic tradition, such as pseudo-Dionysus.

Originally posted by vistesdI think that certain translations, the NIV in particular, aim to resolve all literary ambiguity in favor of literalist doctrine. In my days as a Bible Thumper, I preferred the RSV because the team of translators represented a range of theological priorities. Hence, they were forced to grapple with the language itself and not skew the translation towards a particular set of prejudices. I also think that its better written. The NIV reads like something written by engineers.

Originally posted by WulebgrI agree. I really don’t use the NIV. I tend to default to the NRSV for a few reasons: (1) It is one of the searchable versions that I have as part of a program; (2) I also had the Harper-Collins Study Bible in that version, which seemed to be well-regarded from a scholarly point of view; and (3) I read a Greek Orthodox commentator who said that the more gender-neutral language of the NRSV is actually closer to the Greek idiom.
