This thread is NOT for me!

It is started in reply to a member's thoughts that Intelligent Design be taught in public schools' science classes.

The question was asked: [paraphrase] "Do you know what Allegory is?"

from wiki:
...Allegory is generally treated as a figure of rhetoric; a rhetorical allegory is a demonstrative form of representation conveying meaning other than the words that are spoken...


It sounds to me that creationism in public school is allegory...

If one were to point out that the 7 days of creation actually fit into the correct order of how we know things were created on earth, then we'd have a debate on the basics of evolution being taught in the bible. Remember that JPII declared that evolution and creation are not at opposition. but enhances the knowledge of both.

I didn't notice many scientists supporting JPII's claim. If you ask me, he was smart enough to realize the writing was on the wall, and this was an attempt to save face.

Oh, and the order in Genesis does not fit in with the "correct" order:

1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth

1:2 Now the earth was without shape and empty, and darkness was over the surface of the watery deep, but the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the water.

1:3 God said, "Let there be light." And there was light!

1:4 God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness.

1:5 God called the light "day" and the darkness "night." There was evening, and there was morning, marking the first day.


Science says the order of day 1 ought to be in fairly quick succession light then dark, a little while later water, a long time later Earth

Age of Earth, about 4.54 billion years, time since the bright light of the Big Bang, about 13.75 billion years. Age of oldest oxygen atoms about 13 billion years old (formed in the first helium burning stars). First water molecules formed about 11 billion years ago, after the first star to go nova.

In Genesis Day 2 is sky, Day 3 plants, Day 4 stars, Day 5 animals, and 6 is mankind.

The order from science is stars (part of the early Day 1), sky (sometime after Earth), single celled organisms, sometime later plants and animals, and then mankind.

So Day 6 is in the right place, and I guess 1 out of 6 is not bad (ok 1 and a half, for the animals).
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ...

1:3 God said, "Let there be light." And there was light!

Just think, if this part were to be true and that light in the universe was
created a little later after the universe was forming then there was no law of
E=M(C)sqd. Hence the universe was able to expand without the constraints of
(C) holding it's rate of expansion back then until the time when light was created, then all changed.

There are actually two creation mythologies in Genesis -- most folks are only familiar with the first one.


"There are significant parallels between the two stories, but also significant differences: in the first account mankind (male and female) are created after animals, while in the second the man is created first, then animals, and finally the woman "as the climax of creation." Together this combination of parallel character and contrasting profile point to the different origin of materials in Genesis 1:1–1:2–3 and 2:4b–3:23, however elegantly they have now been combined."

Of course, not being an ID guy, the differences between one 'absolute' version and the other 'absolute' version don't trouble me one bit.

Then we have "God saw that the light was good, so God separated the light from the darkness". !


fairly stupid god if he has to create light before "allknowing god" can tell that light is good.

Genesis has to be taken with a very large pinch of salt!



you can´t, salt is lethal in such doses.

Depends on the science fiction, some of it attempts to adhere to current scientific theories. ID doesn't even try.

Evolution results in an "intelligent" design most of the time. If it doesn't the species quickly dies out. reading some of this stuff makes me worry about homo sapiens. It's the saps thing that scares me the most.

Yes, but JPII was a lot more sensible than the current crop of creationists who want all or nothing.

Right next to the other mythological writings (as they should be).

The problem with intelligent design has two parts.

If we give the creationists their designer then it is trivial to demonstrate the designer is either incompetent or malevolent and anyone wearing glasses knows it for a fact.
