It was probably just a boring Saturday for you anyway, so you needed your dander up I would imagine. Great list.

1. Just how much time in the “pre-Adamite” world is between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:3? Creationism museums are nice, but man, a brother wants answers.

2. So, if repentance is key to gaining access into heaven, will Judas have a mansion in a corner… somewhere?

3. I’m so with you on the Bible code. Moreover, I want to know when and why this country had to lose focus of King Hammaurabi’s codex? Just sayin’.

4. MEMO to Samson: A man’s hair should never be that important.

5. Why can’t Paul mix in a comma in Ephesians 1. Read it… it’s one LONG paragraph. Or consider Esther 8:9. Woof.

6. Just how tall was the Tower of Babel anyway? And why can’t people sustainable buildings like that these days?

7. It’s been said the Bible can read aloud in 70 hours. Who’s THAT guy?!

8. Was Zacchaeus truly vertically challenged or just surrounded by an early Church basketball team?

9. Who are the mysterious “two men” of the Book of Revelation… and do they know what the hubbub is all about?

10. Adam arguably named all the animals, as he had dominion. However, it seems the only creature God named was the whale in Gen. 1:21. Why?

Things that make you go “Hmmmmm.”

Why not take the best of both worlds? However, if I had to choose, then Barth because he really got it:

“It may be that when the angels go about their task of praising God, they play only Bach. I am sure, however, that when they are together en famille they play Mozart and that then too our dear Lord listens with special pleasure.”

I wondered out loud in our discipleship class the other night “what happens to our memories of lost friends and loved ones when they are not in the new creation?”

It would be nice to have a definitive answer. I think we’ll probably just know…Hmmm, but since there seems to be a certain pleasure in learning things for some wired like that…maybe some angels or older saints will give Old Earth Age 101 classes. I guess we’ll have to wait and see. And not much longer too :D

Neanderthals is also a possibility which I have heard, but I didn’t think to include it. As my wife would undoubtedly attest, I do not discount the possibility of aliens (not at all), but I would incline toward Neanderthals before aliens in this case. If I had to lay odds, why not 4:1 also? It’s just as likely as the other two.

I don’t think we’ll be omniscient, but I think we will understand a lot more. But, I also think we could spend an eternity studying out scripture and still not know it all.
