Comment on Dr. John Sanford Lectures on Inevitable Genomic Deterioration by Holly Pham.

Ron: Actually, I think it is the standard interpretation of the Bible that makes God out to be worse than Hitler.I came from an abusive background, and as far as I can tell the Bible was written primarily by abusers for abusers, and the standard gospel interpretation meets the spiritual needs of abusers.I have had to go back through the Bible again and re-interpret it for myself to make sense out of it in a way that is helpful to victims of abuse.I don’t want to get into that now, because it is way off topic.If someone wants to talk to me privately, send Sean your e-mail address, and he can send it to me.

Please explain what you mean by the Bible was written “by abusers for abusers.” I’ve never heard of that before. I don’t think it is “off topic” at all.

This is a great example of how supposedly smart scientists deceive themselves! Ask any evolutionist why something is found in nature, and they will come up with a “Darwinian” response that they claim will “explain” the finding. [edit]

ron:
Bill, I pretty much agreewith your analysis.I guess I just disagreewith you about the character of God.I think that the preeminent characteristic of god is love and that his primary concern is comunity,I see the tolerance of the liberalsto begod like and the intolerance of the conservatives to be evil. So to me, Educate Truthrepresents an effort to destroy community and is wrong.I think it totally misrepresents the character of god.

If God’s primary concern is community and tolerance, why will He destroy countless individuals and not allow them “community” with others, as is described at Christ’s Second Coming?

Ron: @Holly Pham:The hundreds of mutations in a fruit fly would correspond to the random variation that exists at the beginning of the evolutionary experiment. We don’t know which mutations are going to be beneficial or detrimental until the environment changes….

Your question of “how” can God allow suffering has been well addressed by numerous theologians. It is also addresse in the Bible. Do you not accept the answers? If not, what is your answer to your question?

@Sean Pitman, I agree with the lack of transparency at LLU and virtually anywhere in our SDA system. The hiding behind closed doors is rampant, not only at LLU, but on the Conference level, Union, and even the GC. Try to ask anybody a really specific question. All you get is either nothing or another set of vague responses. Try it some time, and you will see what I mean.

Any insiders know WHY this happened? Was it part of a “deal” with AAA for accreditation?
