[Trying_to_learn]

If he used it as a tool... then why did he say differently in the wholy books? if u say the bible is not directly from god then dispose of it and the priests

-Darwin did say that i take it bak if u would stop annoying me soo much
-"Two other Italian scientists of the time, Galileo and Bruno, embraced the Copernican theory unreservedly and as a result suffered much personal injury at the hands of the powerful church inquisitors. Giordano Bruno had the audacity to even go beyond Copernicus, and, dared to suggest, that space was boundless and that the sun was and its planets were but one of any number of similar systems: Why! -- there even might be other inhabited worlds with rational beings equal or possibly superior to ourselves. For such blasphemy, Bruno was tried before the Inquisition, condemned and burned at the stake in 1600." this is from the site u gave me.. sry i misplaced Bruno and coprinucus but again u can they were both tourtured. and Galilio it says was imprisoned for life... this is the site u gave me.....

"Galileo was brought forward in 1633, and, there, in front of his "betters," he was, under the threat of torture and death, forced to his knees to renounce all belief in Copernican theories, and was thereafter sentenced to imprisonment for the remainder of his days."

ND I never knew this about you.

I think evolution means "by chance". This is the opposite of "by purpose".

Is it a complete inability to comprehend the probability and truth of evolution?

Is it a complete inability to reason that God could use ANY tool to create us, including evolution?

Is it a misguided speciecentricity that makes us feel that we can NOT come from those dang dirty apes?

Just what is the bug under their derriere?

Evolution is a bad word to some people.

I asked my tech teacher in high school, who was very devout Christian and a very fine person, why he ruled out evolution as God's method or that God created simple life and let it run from there.

"After all, they say God works in mysterious ways."

He told me that the bible sufficiently illuminates God's methods.

I then told him that the bible was a collection of pagan mythology and mytical tripe reworded, and "if God made humanity he made an *** of it".

"Listening to you I'm forced to agree." he said. Git.

"Does it really matter if we came from monkies?"

IT would to the monkies cuz we'd be kin folk.

Seriously though. I believe what you believe Pete. God started everything off way back yonder and it, creation evolved from there, minus the flood incident of course.
