[edit] Hi!

Hi Tonicthebrown, Thanks for your greeting! Good to see more people contributing to Adventist-related pages. I noticed your work on moving much of the doctrinal content on the Seventh-day Adventist article to a new page. Good stuff - it was getting too bulky, as you mentioned. No doubt I'll see you around on Wikipedia in the future. God bless, Colin MacLaurin 15:44, 24 September 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Prose vs Lists

In response to your request for critique, I thought I'd recommend you cut back on your use of lists. Prose is generally preferred in the place of lists. Just a general observation, if you have any questions feel free to ask. MyNameIsNotBob 05:50, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merry Christmas!

Tonicthebrown, as one of my Wikifriends I would like to wish you a merry Christmas. Thanks for all your good work on the pages relating to Seventh-day Adventist theology. It has been good working with you.

All the best,

Hi Tonic,

Thanks for your greeting on my talk page. Yes, I recently got back! Actually I started editing Wikipedia again when I was still in Hong Kong, a week or two before I got back to Australia... er, I should be ashamed of this addiction :-). I'm putting off dealing with the 200 emails in my inbox, but replying to yours will be one of the most enjoyable ones! I plan to write a brief blurb about my trip on my userpage, and this achieves the intended aim of Wikipedia user pages to facilitate the production of an encyclopedia by... er... um... motivating users to improve the related articles :-).

I'll catch up with my watchlist soon, and I look forward to seeing the contributions by you and others. By the way, the smaller, browner Tonic looks great on your page! Colin MacLaurin 06:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Framework view

Your very welcome. I will admit, it still isn't very well formated and even when I'm finished, the English won't be very good because I'm not the greatest writer, but at least the information will be there. One thing though, I think it should be renamed. Here is the break down of google results:

• "framework theory" + genesis - 19,900 hits
• "framework view" + genesis - 3,230
• "literary framework" + genesis - 6,290
• "framework hypothesis" + genesis - 543

I suggest it be renamed to framework theory or framework theory (creation). What do you think? Pbarnes 09:41, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

In this context, theory doesn't have the same scientific meaning. It's different from creationism because things such as young earth creationism are scientifically verifiable hypothesizes which do not stand up to scrutiny because they contradict the evidence. The framework view is, by definition, a theory on the meaning of the creation days. I have no problem with calling it such.

I just googled "framework interpretation" + genesis and got 24,500 hits so maybe we should call it framework interpretation (creation) in order to stay clear of possible "theory" confusion. Pbarnes 10:02, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
