There was a big debate about whether Revelations should have been allowed in nd the last verse has probably caused more controversy than any other, it was written about the book Revelations not the Bible as a whole!

The earth’s age wasn’t ever an issue until the renaissance. The new thinkers of that time were rejecting the flat earth theory and hat the earth was the center of the universe. These scientists were questioning almost of all Catholic dogma.. Many great new, ideas evolved around that time only to be suppressed for centuries.
Not until Darwin and his discoveries which created the second round of debates on evolution and time, was this subject openly debated at all levels. I’m not sure but I believe that the Catholic Church has accepted evolution suggesting the biblical term day may really mean billions of years.
If only the Vatican would open their library to allow scholars to examine them- but refuse to allow any 'outsiders' entry.
Are you sure attendance didn't go up because the men were hot for teacher?Originally Posted by LadyWrestler
I like Science and the Bible. With some help from a friend, I actually taught class in two different churches on the first chapter of Genesis, including how well Genesis blends with the latest scientific theories...in my opinion.
One Pastor paid attention and said it was an unusual view but he liked it. He let me continue through the book of Genesis, and even invited me back to have a go at Exodus next...if I want to continue. Adult Sunday School attendance went up while I was teaching there.
One Pastor didn't pay attention while I was doing Genesis 1 and didn't like it much when he later realized what I had taught in his church. The class seemed to like it okay. I wasn't asked back to continue with the rest of Genesis, although attendance also went up while I was teaching there.
I guess some of my views on the Bible are a little unorthodox, but the students seemed to like them...mmm...at least most did.
my thoughts exactly...Are you sure attendance didn't go up because the men were hot for teacher?
Hell, I bet EZ would start believing if he had a chance to sit in front of the class and drool.... i mean stare... ummm i mean learn...

I have created a Social group per our discussion from page 2. Please, but only if you can manage to NOT bash the Bible or its believers.
