Quoting a portion of the opening message:

quote:
Why do we need Creationism, or for that matter Genesis? The New Testament functions quite nicely without the Old Testament and avoids all the controversial materiel.

I suspect that this topic started going bad at about message 2 (or was it part way through message 1?).

In general, this topic is getting overheated.

My quick interpretation of the opening message, is that the New Testiment is the important part of the Bible, and that details of the Old Testiment, including the creation, are not worth getting bent out of shape over.

I encourage all to look back at the beginning of the topic, a make an honest attempt to follow up on the intended theme.

I'll not do a "cooling-off period" topic closing yet, but I suspect one is just down the road.

Everyone, be nice now.

My impression is that this topic had a lot of potential - It's in an area that doesn't seem to have been beat to death in other topics. I may be wrong.

LET'S GET BACK ON TOPIC!

FOBAR?

My impression is that the topic originator was trying to explore the relative importance of the Old Testiment vs. the New Testiment. As such, the choice of topic title may have been bad.

Anyhow, I encourage Charles to try again, perhaps with a more defining topic title.

Closing topic.
