Originally posted by rogue06 View PostAnd it is a mistake to get hung up on phenomenological language in the first place, after all we still talk about "sunrise" and "sunset" without it meaning that you believe that the sun is actually orbiting the earth. The Bible occasionally uses the language of appearance, how things look not necessarily how things are in order to teach a lesson. And this leads to an important thing to keep in mind, namely, the Bible was never meant to be read as a science text book but rather is concerned with conveying much more important universal truths."Kahahaha!

Originally posted by Cerealman View PostWon't lie even in my day to day life I do catch myself taking meanings of words literal and in a pretty socially awkward way.And I'll acknowledge that I do that and no doubt the Bible is not a science book, but I don't think I've said it should be taken that way either.
