"Half-breed," and one- or two-other degrading words statements. After a wee bit I turned head so I could see him out one-eye. I said, "If they were like you, they could talk about you." He said nothing. Then I said, "People prejudge in ignorance and call it fact." He said nothing. Abandon Doubt, Zephyr Thoreau Moore (the humble) Nathan,

“Half-breed,” and one- or two-other degrading words statements.

He said nothing. Then I said, “People prejudge in ignorance and call it fact.” He said nothing.

Why? I mean, mosquitoes aren't evil, just hungry, it's malaria that exploits that hunger for evil ends, but then, the malaria bug hasn't been gifted with understanding the consequences of its action, just been gifted life, which depends on infecting you. I like that way gnostics allow many truths simultaneously: the reason for a tomato is sunshine, to give food, for gory and something else I can't remember, all at once. Killing a mosquito doesn't make you good, or Christian, any more than killing you would make the malaria bug Christian. As far as kudzu is concerned, you are the weed.

The way these 5 Steps break down the process and highlight critical points has helped me immensely with many different areas that have needed correction in my life. Before this, I only had heard about steps 1 and 2. Steps 3, 4 and 5 never occurred to me. Doing all 5 Steps has made a big difference in my progress.

]]> Comment on Will the Study of Genomics Destroy the Bible? My Answer to Dr. Peters by Jon http://nathanlewis.org/2011/04/21/will-the-study-of-genomics-destroy-the-bible-my-answer-to-dr-peters/#comment-175602 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 20:32:58 +0000 http://nathanlewis.org/2011/04/21/will-the-study-of-genomics-destroy-the-bible-my-answer-to-dr-peters/#comment-175602 Charlie - Really, you should do some study in biology. It's not about assumptions or uniformitarianism. The evidence is raw data from the field (in the case of SNPs and Spencer Wells' film, for example). As far as Eve, what you've written makes no sense; it doesn't matter how Eve got her DNA, there are only 4 possible alleles for each locus in two founding indiduals. This is high school biology. The DNA allele frequencies are measured. Referring to "presuppositions", "assmumptions", etc. is an old Christian apologetics method that does not work here. No, the Y chromosome is not a smaller X. You are throwing ad hoc explanations out about things being different in the past than today. Your evidence? Maybe we were all created 10 min. ago with intact memories and the appearance of age is possible but not justified. In science, just throwing out possibilities is not rational thinking - it's probabilities and testing ideas that counts. Uniformatarianism is a geological concept, not one in the biological sciences. I can see that the Christian researchers in Biologos and other genetics specialists have a lot of work ahead of them to get the Christian community up to speed with what these newer DNA findings really mean and how lay people can finally understand them - if those Christians really care to.
