Sure he is. From "redleghunter's perspective" there is an absolute value about the gospel of Christ. But, he only clings to the later interpretation(s) of Martin Luther while denouncing St. Jerome's Vulgate.
"redleghunter" is one of the most adamant evolulutionists on the planet because of his interpretation of the Vulgate vs. some professional snake handler named, Martin Luther that he personally agrees with in the name of Christ.

I almost forgot to consider your impressive credentials as a Bible scholar....
OH WAIT.
Since you hang your hat on the Great Faerie Tale of "NOTHING-CREATED-EVERYTHING," according to your cult, how exactly did the Mother of All Amoebas get the party started?

Why on Earth would you find a memory loss, now?

You make a large BANG based on silly assumptions. All my perspective represents is a simple formula: the Universe and all within "it" (or without "it") and all anything you or I can experience and all you or I can imagine or have knowledge about and everything about us is based on perception, intuition, cognition and varying conditions. The Universe is a mystery and can never be understood completely; all this with one minor exception: other than one single fundamental cognisant truth of mankind about being aware of being aware about ourselves.
All the world wide religion nonsense is about the same but trapped in some form of complicated historical faerie tale translated into "books" based on tradition and designed for those that think they have no other route to understand their own being. Is there a GOD? The question has no answer because if one trully exists "it" is a mystery.
So you ARE a "Bible Scholar" after all? Have you registered you credentials with the 0buma School of Choom?

But...what or who is the Master Programmer of such perception, imagination, intuition, fantasy, and self-realization? Surely the universal 'Big Nothing in the Big Void' didn't just randomly bestow you with such complicated cerebral and physical attributes, an individual identity, and spiritual means from which to sense discernment and purpose?

Again - IF you are convinced that there is indeed an individual conscious awareness, is there not a soul that accompanies it?
There are only TWO distinct possibilities for the source of such consciousness and conscience:
1) NOTHING created you, your identity, and your spirit, and soul.
2) SOMETHING created you, your identity, and your spirit and soul.
Is there a GOD? The question has no answer because if one trully exists "it" is a mystery.
Since mathematically, nothing can create everything out of thin air -- never mind a conscious along with your unique identity -- by default, that leave #2: SOMETHING: aka, GOD.
It's up to you to accept the truth. Closing you eyes and mind, reminding blind and willfully ignorant is counter-intuitive. Hating and resenting God for what you perceive as a bad deal is addressed in a well known best seller called The Bible. Your "Mystery" has made perfect sense to millions. Why not you? Unless your grudge is to be carried beyond the grave, the worst investment ever.

To answer your questions in order: Kinda and "no" to your official school board.

A broad assumption about your own being. There just may not be any "master programmer" at all; other than yourself. After-all look at the way you phrased your own question.
Again - IF you are convinced that there is indeed an individual conscious awareness, is there not a soul that accompanies it? What is the difference between a "soul" and your own "awareness" about the world around yourself?
There are only TWO distinct possibilities for the source of such consciousness and conscience: 1) NOTHING created you, your identity, and your spirit, and soul. 2) SOMETHING created you, your identity, and your spirit and soul.
Why? Because you said so?
Since mathematically, nothing can create everything out of thin air -- never mind a conscious along with your unique identity -- by default, that leave #2: SOMETHING: aka, GOD.
Explain your findings; please use mathematical models to prove your thesis. I find your analysis intriguing to the discussion.

What "truth?" Your opinion? Your opinion doesn't even pass a cursory interest other than a few moments of fun while I work away on serious projects.
