 Comments for The Way Forward This is going to be fun. 
I am not going to answer this, Jason but I suspect other people might want to. Before they do, please give your top five science references in the Bible that have been proved by modern science. Also, to get the obvious questions out of the way: 1:) Do you think the earth is flat 2:) does the sun revolve around the earth 3:) Has the sun/earth ever stood still
On to theology. Where are these scientific references found? If you point to the English translation of the Bible, how do you know that God told the writers the scientific things that are found in the English translation of the Bible? I assume you believe in the dictation theory of inspiration or in some form of divine preservation of the Biblical text? Please define exactly what view you are taking so readers can know where you are coming from. And while you are at it, since there are thousands of variations, contradictions, and differences in the various translations and the extant manuscripts, how do you determine that certain words in a translation or an extant manuscript are what God originally told the author/translator? Other than faith, what evidence do you have that any of the translations or extant manuscripts came directly from, not just any God, but your God, the Christian God?
Thanks.
