Where the Bible is Figureative it is read figuratively. To pick a particularly devisive topic which seems to polarize Christians into the respective camps. Do the Adventists teach such theories as Evolution in their schools as Science. Or do they keep such discussions for advanced classes in high school or Collage, and any case with the orientation 'this is what some mistakenly believe to be the case'. Or have they moved to a 'deistic' directed evolutionary concept? I am well aware that in a sense 'science' does not answer as many questions as iquiry seems to produce. One theory hold for a brief time before some observation or other theory calls for the previous' dismissal. Even the 'queen' of Science has her faults, paradoxes, inconsistencies etc. I have often thought of the parallels between theology and mathematics. -- John Clark jclark@ucsd.edu
