Can you teach a child or an animal to explain how complex machines and sciences work?

Question

Can they teach it so well that their students can in turn go out and explain these complex issues to others? Can you teach a child that doesn't know how to walk yet Kung Fu? Can you teach somone that doesn't know what a car is how to drive..... WITHOUT A CAR??

I recently asked a question about the Bible. Somone commented on how it was written by GOD through men. They obviously don't understand what that means, and this is why their explanations of the Bible sound like the lost lyrics to "Jesus Loves Me".

First off, a ghost named GOD didn't literally posess anybody and write diddly. Secondly Even if he did, he obviously could not make anyone write anything they didn't understand. It is so childish to believe something so silly. Ask yourself. Why would GOD let the authors of the Bible know about all these monsters and angels and beasts with seven heads and ten horns but no nukes, or Nazis, or Americans, or NASA? The Bible WAS written on GOD's behalf by men that knew what he wanted.

I've got five answers so far. I'm here to tell ya! They all suck.

Answer 1

Easier than teaching a Atheist he did not roll out from under a rock.

Answer 2

Well, you're right -- it's not like "ghost writing" that we hear about, where a person is possessed and their hand writes on its own.

It's about common people "in sync" with God over the centuries, who have expressed thoughts that reflect the true nature of God and the way he has interjected himself into human history. That's the "inspiration" of Scripture.

I disagree a bit on the vision stuff. You CAN describe something you've seen, without understanding it. The prophecy books such as Revelation and Ezekiel and Isaiah can express visions without the writer actually understanding how those things would come to pass -- he's simply describing what he sees in the cultural/contextual language he knows.

(The monsters and beasts with seven heads and such in The Revelation of John, such as you bring up, are either completely representative of other things or couldn't be explained better in other terms by people from that time period.)

Unless, of course, you don't believe in prophetic vision at all.

Answer 3

Children are very clever - they can retain enough information to follow a story and learn its moral. You can teach a child to teach, and off it goes teaching the world something new: this is a key point when looking at religion from a sociological point of view.

Answer 4

I was thinking this was pretty good....till I got to the last statement. So men know the mind of God? No wonder it's such a mess here.

Answer 5

So what was the question?
You sound like your on drugs or have taken drugs in the past that is the way they talk.
Better cut back on the meth, your tripping out.

Answer 6

Yes? No? I'd say thanks for the sermon, except, as far a sermons go, it wasnt very good.
