He's definitely on a spiritual evolutionary path, imo, where
he will be one of those that reconciles science and god. He searches. Some others are too either/or and their path will end at
the Y.
Uh huh.
It's especially gratifying to see that he doesn't regard godly science as an oxymoron.
Shut up already, HS!

Why mess w/the man's faith?
Burn--your boy is adorable.

As long as Burn doesn't advocate infringing on the freedoms/rights of others, why does he need "help"?

This thread is Nvr's spoof of Burn's thread found here:

They're forever trading barbs and insults. If they don't stop it, they're going to make this Black woman take off her earrings!

He must have some for us to mess with it.
The ultimate irony of those on this board arguing because of their faith is that they have no faith god can make his own argument for himself.

I am going to get a little serious here:
to grasp that the basic purpose of science is to produce useful models of reality.
Define "useful"
How to help him understand that trying to make observable reality "fit" around a collection of writings designed in its first half to inspire the oftentimes persecuted Jewish people and in its second to consolidate the fragmented Roman Empire is an exercise in futility?
You've got the fit backwards. You fit the glove to the hand, not the hand to the glove. You still need the glove or the hand will freeze.
You basically misunderstand the Burn.
Light, light, more light! they tell us the dying Goethe cried. No, warmth, warmth, more warmth! for we die of cold and not of darkness. It is not the night that kills, but the frost.

God has a human face. When He heals the sick it is with human hands. When he speaks Truth it is with a human voice. When he suffers for good it is human blood that is shed.
