Oh, I guess God forgot how to do that particular trick, eh? iz   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Hansen Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 2:14 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Physics, Astronomy and Genesis chapters 1-11   Doesn't that teach us something about God's abilities of creating an unquenchable fire?

David Miller wrote: DaveH, I agree with Judy here.  The argument of a "literal impossibility" is a little weak when we are talking about God.  Moses did see a bush that was burning but not consumed.  Doesn't that teach us something about God's abilities of creating an unquenchable fire? David Miller ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy TaylorTo: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.orgCc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.orgSent: Friday, March 17, 2006 8:45 AMSubject: Re: [TruthTalk] Physics, Astronomy and Genesis chapters 1-11 Why try to confuse Conor right off the bat Lance?  Genesis is not a "science book" per se.Although the writer of Genesis is also the God who created all that is called "science"Are you asking Conor to interpret Genesis in the light of Astronomy and Physics? Just this morning I read this interaction between DaveH and KevinD   (I think) ... KD: That is explained by the fire and brimstone imagery that is in reality endless torment.a fire which cannot be consumed, even an unquenchable fire DAVEH:   More imagery that is physically an impossibility.  Fire can be extinguished, whereasmental torment can go on forever. So tell me - What is a physical impossibility for God? The same God who delivered what he hadpromised to Abraham and Sarah when they were 90 and 100yrs old respectively. A God who wasable to roll back the Red Sea until his people crossed and afterward kept them in the desert for 40yrsfeeding them with manna from heaven and keeping their clothes from wearing out and their feet fromswelling.  The same God who stopped the sun for 24 hours and caused an axe head to float on waterThe God who energized His prophet causing him to run for 25 miles in front of Jezebels' chariot andhad the ravens feed him while he rested and regrouped in a cave. Tell me - what would be too difficult for a God like this and how can the feeble efforts of man explainHim?  On Fri, 17 Mar 2006 07:57:56 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes:Conor: Might we hear from you on this?
