"But the point is that we're calling into question the idea that Jesus is omniscient. You can't assume that he is as a basis for your argument."
I don't see why not. People on both sides of the arguement assume that our current science is 100% accurate as a basis. However, science makes new discoveries that render outdated science irrelevant pretty often. It's not too far-fetched to say that any scientific method we currently use will be outdated tomorrow. If we can assume with outdatable science, why can't we assume omnipotence in a personification of God? Some say that idea may be outdated some day, but even if this is true then the same could be said with science, putting them on the same level. If they're on the same level, we could use either as a given.

Re: Reply to message 15
Your points are well taken, I need to double-check what I post. No, I don't believe spirituality is at all tentative, I'm just saying that even if this were so I believe it's alright to use it as a given. I'm not asserting that God's omnipotence depends on fallibility of science, but you're right that I did make it seem that way, for that I apologize. The idea is that if you can use assume with science or theology, you may do so with the other. As for the last statement saying evolutionists don't disagree with spirituality, I agree. I don't disbelieve in evolution, I just believe in it with a theistic basis. I could go on about my personal opinions and how that post needs a little less generalizing in it, but the point is there already. Thanks for the correction, though.
