Thanks for clarifying.<br /><br />Down with the flu, so I'll have to provide a fuller reply later. Best wishes!Alice C.

However, you and me agree that behavior (e.g. cooking fires, etc.) is the marker between man and ape. Sometimes I wonder if our disagreement is a tempest in a teapot.<br /><br />You really missed my point about what constitutes "full formation" as a man-- and that is the breath of God. A creature is a beast (unformed) until he gets God's breath- then he is a man (truly, fully, formed). As a result of missing my point, you mischaracterized my argument and wrote it off to modernism.<br /><br />By the way, pre-moderns were comfortable with the idea of creatures changing. To what extent Darwinism is an idol, it is modern by accident of history, but an ancient would have been a functional Darwinist by saying that the earth was self-existent. Plenty of ancients did, which means that modernism per se is not the problem. The heresy lies not in method of mechanics, but in the failure to attribute Christly mastery to the ongoing process of creation. The Darwinist gets plenty of mechanics correct. Idolators can do complex math, win military battles, connect the dots rightly, etc. They just fail to give God glory for his, or their own, works.<br /><br />And finally, I'm a man, not a woman. On that note, for the record, and because no one in particular asked me, I do believe the rib account is a stylized, primeval memory revealed by God, rather than a journalistic account. I believe it is God revealing His purpose to us in His creation of sexual supplementarity, rather than attempting to tell us how many inches long his scalpel was when he performed the ribectomy.Mairnéalachnoreply@blogger.com
