Document Summary
Authority of the bible extends to physical conclusions a superficial logic to the argument of the critics: s3. C the bible states the sun moves & earth stands still . Therefore: belief the sun stands still & earth moves is erroneous & damnable . K physical conclusions are not matters of faith . So the reason anti-evolutionists advance to condemn the opinion of the evolution of life is this: C since in many places in holy scripture one reads that life was created de novo [quick & complete; gen 1 & 2], and. C since the scripture can never lie or err, [therefore]: it follows as a necessary consequence that the opinion of those who want to assert the evolution of life is erroneous & damnable. Question: s5 on the surface this argument is reasonable. But in the end falls short hermeneutically similar to galileo"s critics, it assumes scientific concordism is a feature of the bible.
