Revision as of 18:36, March 13, 2016
, 18:36, March 13, 2016→when it quotes the devil, which is the word for chaos: To repeat my point: διαβάλλω doesn't mean ''throw over'', ''topple'', or ''overturn'' (like ἀνατροπεύς). It has nothing to do with chaos. No one but Andrew Schlafly has ever c
This all seems to be rather missing the point. If Luke 4.6 is a reference to uncertainty at the quantum level, then it is most certainly a figurative reference. But isn't the viewpoint of this blog that the Bible should be interpreted literally? --[[User:DHouser|DHouser]] 10:13, 9 May 2013 (EDT)

:To repeat my point: διαβάλλω doesn't mean ''throw over'', ''topple'', or ''overturn'' (like ἀνατροπεύς). It has nothing to do with chaos. No one but Andrew Schlafly has ever connected this word to chaos. --[[User:AugustO|AugustO]] ([[User talk:AugustO|talk]]) 14:36, 13 March 2016 (EDT)

I find [http://conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Biblical_scientific_foreknowledge&action=historysubmit&diff=1064278&oldid=1064268 this edit] to be rather troubling. It is important to note that there are many acts of devine intervention or power described in the Bible, that will always be beyond human technology. While it is nice to observe that some items described in the Bible foresaw subsequent technological developments, the Bible does not predict that '''all''' things described in it will ultimately become possible through advances in human technology. Nor is it valid to re-translate the Bible to add technological predictions. Finally, if the human population of the earth grows faster than the ability to produce food, as a matter of mathematics and logic, a point will be reached in the future when the population will exceed the ability of the earth to feed it. This is not a liberal vs. conservative issue, just mathematics. While birth control and the AIDS epidemic have trimmed the population growth curve, the problem exists over the very long term. Let's show some humility and acknowledge the limitations of human technology. Man should not aspire to hold all of the powers of God. 14:16, 18 August 2013 (EDT)
