I dunno, but I bet there are a million facts about him that are wholly irrelevant. What if he's a cross-dresser? Is that relevant?

Just do away with all pits.
Cherry pits.
Mellon pits.
Peach pits.
Arm pits......
Unshaven Arm Pits on beautiful Women
If he hadn't been wearing that sleeveless, angel blue, twist silk chiffon dress the damage to his arm may have been less severe. But it did go rather nice with the open toe white pumps. Very summery!What if he's a cross-dresser? Is that relevant?

I doubt it. We tend not to hold cross-dressers dearly... except for Ru Paul and Michelle Obama.
What about the "pits" at a NASCAR track?

Look, I know you love veterans more than most people, but it's just absolutely not relevant. Would it be normal for a headline to read "Left-handed Asian plumber with flat feet mauled by pit bull?"
Not every fact is relevant.

Well, I've never been to that place in Kentucky, so I couldn't comment. And as someone who is considering that Genesis might not even be INTENDED to be a creation account, I'd hold off on saying, regardless.Because many creationists (the fundamentalists, primarily, the ones who think The Creation Museum in northern KY is absolutely factual) will dismiss any and all scientific fact that doesn't fit well with their beliefs, and will, in fact, prefer to not even learn about such nonsense as Evolution in any form. I have a good friend who is like that. I once asked him if he has read a particular book about science, and he said the only book he ever reads in the Bible, because everything he needs to know about everything is in there. He prefers to remain ignorant about anything that might contradict his beliefs, and he's proud of that fact.
But mainly is was humor. I had hoped that the humor was clear enough. Obviously, I was wrong and my delivery was flawed.
Then again, I also know that "Christian humor" is an oxymoron.
No, the Bible is not a science book and isn't intended to be so,.yet everything that it DOES say about science is correct. And yes, your friend should read a science book.
As for joking about religion, it's a lot like telling jokes about people's mothers. Can't be surprised at any response you get, and can't particularly blame the responder, as long as he's not violent or trying to force you to shut up.
Amazing. Another person who has never met me "KNOWS" who I "love" more than others. It is called "human interest". I bet if it was a woman teacher they would have said she was a "teacher" to garner more readers.

Too bad it wasn't a DC politician...one less with their hand in my pocket...
You know politics tho... another one would rear his ugly head to take his place. They're like ****roaches.
Roaches are not as vile as politicians. Roaches only spread a few diseases, most of which can be cured. Politicians ................
No, it said it was a circle. Big difference. The only way to get from a circle to a sphere is interpret several different versus by applying today's knowledge and understanding to ancient Scriptures. Granted, people do that sort of thing all the time to justify this or that, but a circle is not a sphere in Scripture anymore than it is in geometry, and the Bible knows the difference, because it uses both terms to mean different things. If you are going to interpret a circle to be a sphere, then you must also interpret the four corners to be either a square or a rectangle. Squares, rectangles and circles are all flat.
Incidentally, the Bible is just chocked full of scientific inaccuracies that are wholly incongruous with Divine intervention, not to mention insect anatomy.
The New Iberia Big Bang is messing with your head. In a normal state of rest, I am certain you would have chosen to use "verses" not versus. Saw a brief mention of the New Iberia story on The Weather Channel this morning. Hopefully, all is well. Cheat death and leave the Grim Reaper cussin'.
Just a typo, I'm full of 'em.
I finally delivered at 1300 today. Amazingly, no one was injured in the explosions, not even those monkeys.
Uhm, OK, for those who do not know, the University of Louisiana has their primate research lab at the same site as the chemical plant, the site also including the airport. I want to make it crystal clear that "even those monkeys" are referring to the primates at the research lab, and not to any of the indigenous population in New Iberia.

Actually, not correct. The Hebrew word used in that passage can mean either sphere or circle. The interpreters, not knowing that the earth is a sphere, selected circle. That sort of translational choice that looks like an error happens more than once in scripture, such as the rabbit chewing its cud passage, which is where I thought you'd go.
In regards to the four corners reference, one must keep in mind that the Bible, in addition to being holy scripture, is also literature. Being literature, it makes frequent use of literary devices, including poetry, analogy, hyperbole, etc. and sometimes, the translators chose to retain idiomatic literary devices, trusting that the meaning would be understood.
I watched a show discussing translation work, and the hard decisions that must be made when deciding on clarity, idioms, poetry, etc. I read an article on the hard decisions that translators of opera have to make. I had never considered them before.
But since God knows the earth isn't flat, you can be sure the Bible doesn't say it. Now, what ignorant translators come along later and do, that's another issue.
Ok, I was prepared to address the rabbit chewing the cud passage, but I have yet to hear this supposed error. Let's have it and address it.
