Scripture is to be read and understood in its totality and not any section at a time. It is the faulty practice of 'selective reading' that has caused a great deal of confusion and false doctrine to be created/propagated.

Snuffulufagus,
If I really concentrate on your posts is your response going to be more than a small beer malleted resecently near you? I know you have diverse interests and I would be willing to get into this eVpe thing with you but I need to know if educate myself thru your resources as per the above will this puzzle of c/e be more or less than Gould's p750 "But this puzzlement did sometimes break through to overt statement. For example, in 1903, H.F. Cleland, a palenotlogists's paleontologist - that is, a respected expert on local minutiae, but not a general theorist - wrote of the famous Devonian Hamilton section in New York State (which has since become the "type" for an important potential extension of punctuated equilibrium to the integrated behavior of entrie faunas, the hypothesis of "coordinated stasis" - see pp. 916-922): "In a section such as that of the Hamilton formation at Cayuga Lake...if the statement natura non facit saltum is granted, one should, with some confidence, expect to find - at least some - evidences of evolution."

I think I actually was able to follow much more that usually, a perhaps even get something out of this one. And I loved the opening "Snuffulufagus", which really got my attention.I don't know about paragraphs 2 and 3.Cheers,
