[QUOTE]Originally posted by Omega: [QB] "You attempted to refute it, but were forced to stray into interpretation to do so." And what's wrong with that? I seriously doubt that the ancient Hebrews knew that there was a difference between bats and birds, so their word that we translate as bird probably would have covered that which we call a bat as well. Something more like "flying things that aren't insects", possibly. And I go for strict literalism, unless metaphor is obviously intended. Like Jesus' parables: if His answers were taken literally, most of the gospels would be completely non sequitor, but as metaphor, they work. Conversely, you can take all of Genesis to be true, and it makes perfect sense, so why resort to metaphor? "He was the one who categorically rejected the "Distant Origin Theory," because it conflicted with Voth Doctrine. Sound familiar?" The only thing it reminds me of is the mideval Catholic church, who were so rigid in their interpretation and so unwilling to admit that they were wrong that they would sooner kill someone than examine the evidence. I reject Evolution based on the evidence; evidence which you have yet to refute. Let's put it into perspective, shall we? You have yet to post any evidence that I have not refuted. I have posted evidence that you have not refuted. I'd say that puts me in the lead by quite a bit. And wasn't Odala female? I just haven't seen that ep in a while. [/QB][/QUOTE]
