Here’s a scary thought: Amongst my group of friends, I’m the one they turn to for answers to their Bible questions.
Last night I had a guy call me up and ask if I thought that it was possible that because people lived to be 800-900 years old back in the pre-flood days, if they could have developed differently over time to look like neanderthals. My response: “I don’t think people ever actually lived to be that old, but I see plenty of people walking around now-a-days that look like neanderthals.”
Then some questions about evolution came up and the age of the Earth. I don’t think that the Bible addresses either, but this was basically my response to that: “When my car breaks down, I don’t take it to the dentist; I take it to a mechanic because he’s the one who knows about cars. So when we’re asking science questions, we probably shouldn’t ask theologians or Bible scholars, it might be a good idea to ask scientists.” Doesn’t mean the scientists are right, but at least they’re informed.
At least he didn’t start talking about astrology.
