Comment on SDA Darwinians compromise key church doctrines by Wesley Kime.

@Ken: Greetings friend Ken,

As an observer you are concerned, and rightly, about the unbridgeable gap, if honestly assessed, honestly confessed, between proAdventists adhering to founding Adventists beliefs and academic, updated, relevant, doubting postAdventists. There’s no agape, just gap – it’s come to that. That seems established by now. Even your friendly tweaks seem token, and rightly so.

So now you seemed to have zoomed in upon and espied the different nuances of even proAdventist doubt-free believers’ interpretations of God’s word, no two of us exactly agreeing.

But no two of us have the same droop to our eyelids, either. Even my own two palpebral fissures differ widely, even when I’m not winking, as I am right now. (wink.)

Still, you see us as in need of spiritual negotiation and spiritual arbitration and spiritual adjudication, for which you commend to us totally unspiritual science, exactly where our postAdventists have already gone, deeply, sadly. We should go and do likewise? Hmmmmm.

But seriously, it’s not as though we don’t revere science, as our host is so at pains to explain over and over again. Many of us spend most of our lifetime in pursuit of science, whence our IRAs, and not infrequently, increasingly, find ourselves loyally defending it against curious alternatives, medical notably, doctrinaire Evoean, and now, alas, Adventist. Thanks for your advice.

SDA Darwinians compromise key church doctrines
@Sean Pitman: Speaking as an old pathologist, I will have to say, Dr. Pitman, that if your lymph node biopsy reports are as sharply focused and lucidly expressed as this dialectical stroke, well, your surgeons and oncologists, and their patients, should be so lucky. What your readers do with it, alas, that’s another matter, hopefully not malpractice.

Dr. Walter Veith and the anti-vaccine arguments of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche
Informative and stimulating, but proceeding into more confusion. A veteran of Moderna vaccinations, I trust, hope, they are effective, at least until otherwise. The whole business, being part of End Times, is in the hands of God, not humans expert and as degreed as they may be.


Brilliant and Beautiful, but Wrong
Brilliant, beautiful, and so right! Speaking of your presentation at LLU recently. Great to see you and your family (especially my namesake, Wes. God bless! WK


Complex Organisms are Degenerating – Rapidly
@Bob Helm: Dr. Sanford is very familiar to most of us. He was invited to speak at LLU several years ago and I and a great many were privileged to hear him.


Evolution from Space?
Hats off yet again to Sean for pursuing this topic as a scientist should, no nonsense, and in it’s proper setting — as a revival of one of the ancient ideas recently upgraded as a desperate alternative to the increasingly compelling intelligent design data. I had occasion to review panspermia a few years ago and as is my wont I found it more amusing than scientific. If you would like what was intended to be a satirical response to panspermia and other related curiosities you could check out: http://www.iessaythere.com/black-hole-humor.html
Meantime, Sean’s article is of far more cogent worth.


The Sabbath and the Covenants (Old vs. New)
As he has done on this site many times, Sean in his line-by-line-item response to C. White (not EG or EB) has, to my mind, clearly enunciated the issue and resolution.

When all the hermeneutics, quoting, and arguing and inordinately judgmental riposte are over, it comes down, as I understand it, to two things: 1) Whether the 7th day Sabbath (whether enunciated in the famous 10 commandments or otherwise) is still valid, and 2) Does the grace obtained by the vicarious sacrifice by the shedding of Christ’s blood or other divine process too deep for us to understand in this life, cover every sin automatically and without ado, altogether passively on our part, or is it only on condition that we first totally and deeply accept it? Other details always hassled forever are distractions.

I accept that I must accept it, wholly, actively, even with agony, with my whole being.
