I guess I don't see the point in bringing it up at this particular time, since it is unlikely someone will be searching the archives of Theologyonline.com for such things to help explain creation better.

And? How does that help in your quest?

I don't see that (the bolded part) in Mid-Acts. I'm not saying it is never there, but I don't see it any more than in other believers.

How would one even measure such a thing?

Which has no bearing on his question.

Yes, but a win-win for America.

It might be just as difficult to understand as "timeless", though we are more accustomed to the latter. I'm sure there are. 👍
