nBy this,
Ramm means that Scripture says:
nthe Òsun
risesÓ rather than that the earth rotates so that the sun may be seen at certain
longitudes;
nÒa seed
diesÓ rather than that the seed germinates to produce a plant while the rest of the
seed rots.
nRammÕs term
ÒmechanicalÓ is not ideal.
nPerhaps
ÒtheoreticalÓ would be a better term.
nIn any case,
this is strongly linked to the next item.
