[dheretic]

I am waiting for the day that people will stop being so ignorant and stop interpretting the word of god as though it is set into stone. The very thing that separates christianity from other religions is the dynamic nature of its scriptures. The word of god was written down, but it was alive and still is. The difference between christianity and islam is that for christians the word became flesh and thus a living and adapteable being that can change with time to keep the same essence no matter how much a people change. For Islam the word of god became a book, static and unchanging and look where that has gotten them! We are past the point where we must cling to childish interpretations of creation and look for the truth. Does anyone here honestly think that God would create a perfect universe and then go about breaking the laws of physics and biology he created so he could make his will be done? Of course not if he is perfect! He wouldn't need to because the universe would be structured to make the execution of his will an innate part of its design. Why do you see conflict between God making man and man being descended from apes? Do you not think He can control evolution and shape it to his will?

Why do you see conflict between God making man and man being descended from apes? I see conflict with Science acting like a terrible two-yar-old insisting he has found absolute truth when ultimately what he has is a best guess. And if he took his equations and formulas to their ultimate conclusion, and took into consideration the questions he cannot answer, he would be left with the realization he is alone with the blocks he made to play with.

Do you not think He can control evolution and shape it to his will?Certainly. Meanwhile, we're free to believe what we want.
