Comments on: God Has Competition http://oldblog.briantipton.org/2007/10/09/god-has-competition/ My perspective on what it really means to live like Jesus and a lot of other stuff, too.

Having said that, at one time something like this would have raised a lot of skeptical questions. At this point in my life, no way. Though I am neither an expert in the field of science nor a Hebrew Scholar, I did write a paper in seminary on the purpose of the creation narrative. Therefore, I believe I can give a pretty reasonable answer that holds the creation narrative (its theological purpose) as true even while coexisting with some of the theoretical claims made by science.

I was unaware, but I will be interested to hear how this progress in the spiritual realm. Since they need a patent for a new life form, is there a patent for a soul? Interesting. Thanks for your words. WOW! I was unaware, but I will be interested to hear how this progress in the spiritual realm. Since they need a patent for a new life form, is there a patent for a soul?
