If tomorrow I become the "Senior Pastor of the Largest Church in Texas" does that make me more important of a person? YDSB,

One quick question. If tomorrow I become the “Senior Pastor of the Largest Church in Texas” does that make me more important of a person?

While i'm with you and drew that we are to some extent comparing apples and oranges, it's not for lack of understanding what the other is talking about. you make a statement about "If we are defined as a person by our profession then I am more then ever convinced of the fact that we live in a scary, narcisistic (sp) and me-centered universe devoid of love for God and others." i submit to the court exhibit A(i'm being facetious here drew, not sarcastic lest you edit me) taken... FROM THE DEFENDENTS OWN BLOG!!! [gasp are heard somewhere in the back of the courtroom. A child in the third row faints and the pregnant woman in the fourth row spontaneously goes into labor.] And I quote: "Who? Charlie Wallace is the Associate Pastor of Leadership Development and Children’s Ministries at Crosswell Baptist Church. He is also the proud husband and father of Emily and Jackson." [taken from charlie's blog] We are, simply (or maybe not so simply) WHO WE ARE. I guess i’ll close up here then too.

I rest my case as to how the majority of the world views the essence of mankind.

However in scientific language, theories incoporate many smaller empirically proven "laws" (although true scientific laws are not allowed to be empirically proven... long story which i won't get into here) and attempt to weave a framework out of them. However, in closing i will say that the particular example that I used (the 1 electron existing in 2 places at the same time) HAS BEEN empirically proven. it's mindbending stuff really. though still incomplete, quantum physics (like evolution) is the best SCIENTIFIC description we have of the universe, it’s laws, and it’s origins, superceeding even relativity.

Just a question, I don't claim to be a scientist. In other news, I just saw Spiderman 3. It was awesome. Isn’t quantum physics a theory? Just a question, I don’t claim to be a scientist.

Charlie is speaking of the imago dei. You two are comparing apples and oranges. Settle on a common definition and go from there. Secondly, and I am serious about this, please refrain from mocking, sarcastic, and any other form of condescending dialogue. That is birthed from pride and not fitting for Christian conversation.
