For me it shows: the depravity of the city--demonstrating God's strategy--and how it rubs off on the righteous; that Lot was lucky Uncle Abe was advocating for him--cuz he doesn't really seem that righteous; if he were a father parenting in a godly way, he would have given himself to the mob before his daughters; the family system stuff is evident--the daughter's actions aren't surprising given dad's actions (and I'm suspicious that maybe they were only "technical virgins" courtesy of dad); finally, I'm glad that over time I figured out that not everything in Scripture is prescriptive but largely descriptive--as a kid the assumption was that if it's in there, it's "biblical" aka right. Not so here! SO seeing that clearly helps clear up the misnomer about God's way not honoring of women--this was clearly not God's way. nuff said!

Very well said. I have a great discussion on Facebook called, Did Something Come From Nothing. I learned so much from the atheists, like with Brian was talking about. It is very civil. It's the biggest discussion on that site. http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=56728657006&topic=12105 Hope to see you there. The atheists are very very civil. The Christians keep up with their science. They're amazing. I'm inviting you to that site, John. Shalom! John, great points. Very well said.

You are not called "The Shark" for nothing. Their thinking that there weren't any men left would certainly explain their desperate behavior. Well played, Dr. Poole.

Good post! Miles, stick to your faith despite the pressure to conform. You made excellent points. If something causes confusion with what the Bible says, than it may just be incompatible. Macro-evolution and an old earth are not compatible with Scripture. Even the bible college I attended for a few semesters was beguiled by evolution and tried to make the Bible match the supposed millions of years it would take for life to randomly occur (which still isn't possible anyhow). They started introducing "the gap theory" in their teachings. Then there was a theory of some other flood and God wiping out mankind before He made Adam. One student believed God killed the dinosaurs off before Adam was here. But the Bible plainly teaches that death came as a result of Adam sinning. They were twisting and perverting God's Holy Word to make it fit with naturalistic reasoning. But our Creator is super-natural. If death did not come to mankind from Adam's sin, then the world really wouldn't need a Savior. No, Jesus wasn't a scientist, but He knew the truth and He backed up what Moses said concerning info in Genesis. I wasn't brought up in church, but what I didn't know was - that I was brought up with a religion. It is the religion that has been established by the government with our tax dollars in the public education system. It goes by the name of athiesm, naturalism, secular humanism. It is a religion recognised and protected by the Constitution - even though it is not supposed to be established over children's live in school according to the 1st Ammendment. Apostle Paul mentioned philosophies that were falsely called science. It is a theory (unproven and not duplicated utilizing the scientific method to substantiate it)that claims everything in the universe came into existence by natural means without a Creator. It is a worldview belief system which, even though readily accepted as scientifc fact, is in fact only a theory. They can teach their religion and disguise it as science because the world is on their side. But if you follow Jesus the world will not be your friend. Remember, He said so. As long as we do not take the worldview of naturalism as truth and try to make the Bible support the THEORY of (macro) evolution, then we'll be in good shape. If we compromise, then who really are we following ? No scientist died for me. I am not against scientists, so PLEASE don't be offended. None of us were there at the moment of creation. We all are hopefully being open-minded enough to seek the truth. The only way for an athiest to know for sure that there is no God is for them to be all-knowing and be present everywhere in the visible and invisible universe at the same time. Those, however, are two of the qualities that God has. He alone is omni-present and all-knowing. The only way an athiest could know that God does not exist is for them to be God themselves. That's part of the human problem - we want to be lord over our own lives rather than yield our ways and will to a Creator.And if Intelligent Design points to a Creator (which is the only valid conclusion for me), then that is who we should seek for truth. Not everyone down here on planet earth is dilligently looking for the truth. Some might even lead you far astray. Jesus also explained that people hate the truth and won't come into the light because their ways are evil. I know. I ran from God for a long time and tried to justify myself by turning to easy explanations that did away with the existence of God. Most people are on that wide and easy path. It is difficult to get off it if you rely only on human understanding. We're supposed to renew our minds by reading God's Word. It purifies us and washes out all the false ideas that are contrary to the truth. It takes hard work and discipline though - or you may find yourself too easily succumbing emotionally or intellectually to those who don't yet believe the truth. There are many well-meaning and sincere people in this world, but we have to also be on the lookout for deception. Naturalism and macro-evolution tend to undermine Scripture by nullifying: the Genesis account, the existence of God, the existence of sin, and the need for a Savior. If you hold to your belief in the Bible and the book of Genesis, you'll be assumed to be some type of backward idiot for not abandoning your faith and going with the beliefs of most of the published scientific community. And that goes for the world-wide flood of Noah's day as well. I used to think people that believed all that Bible stuff were morons. (Little did I know then - that is mostly due to the influnce of the church - that we have the education system that we do; especially in America and Europe. We've just turned against God for the most part; just like Israel did. Revisionist historians with this same naturalistic and anti-church mindset have neglected to mention that many of the big colleges were started as seminaries by Christians and many inventors, scientists, and leaders have in fact been followers of Judaism or Christ.) There is also public opinion and political pressure to conform to a different standard than the truth of the Bible. The world's new standard is - no standard! Moral relativism, alternative lifestyle, situational ethics, cultural and etnic diversity, tolerance, and polical correctness are the power words of the day. They want you to be so tolerant and open-minded to such an extreme that you will be seen as intolerant and evil and judgmental when you try to tell someone that something they're doing or a lifestyle they're living is immoral and they should turn (repent) from it. In short, the world wants its rebellious agenda pushed and adhered to. The church is to keep itself pure and not be marginalized so it can proclaim the truth in love from a clean conscience. It's a tough job. They didn't like Jesus either - and many still don't. Miles, hang in there and stick to the Bible. God is not the author of confusion. The Serpent is and he often appears as a messenger of light. Lucifer is a deceiver. He blinds people's minds. Jesus is the true light. He warned of many that would deceive and be deceived. The apostles warned us of 'another Jesus' and 'another gospel' and 'another spirit' and false teachers and false prophets that would be in our midst. If deceived people knew they were deceived, then they wouldn't be for long. I was for a very long time. I'm now 45, but until age 31 I was an athiest that simply believed what the irreligious scientists had been saying without seeking the truth for myself. There's plenty of info on the web at your disposal. Study what like-minded Christian scientists are saying to help you in your faith. Make sure that what they're saying is in ageement with Scripture rather than making you doubt the validity of God's Word. We may not all be scientists or scholars or well-edumacated, but we know HIM that is the source of the most important truth - HE loves us. Don't trust in your own wisdom, but rather trust and acknowledge Him and He will guide you. His sheep hear His voice. Brian, keep up the good work and God Bless to all !
