I've always wondered why evolution is such a bristling threat to religious persons when, say - a medical scientist describing how the circulatory system distributes oxygen isn't an equal threat.
Evolution is "how" not "why".
Some of it's there as I said before and it's written in a manner which most anyone anywhere can understand. No one said it was a thorough university level treatment of the subject but just because it isn't, doesn't mean it's wrong. If that's the case, then is all high school and elementary school education is wrong because it's at a lower level and explained in terms geared for the age and ability of the students learning it? Because it isn't a thorough university level treatment of the subject area?
Its a book of stories, written for illiterate people, using stories and metaphors, not a book to teach someone how to interpret the world around them and unlock the mysteries of the world.
Well, that's only your opinion, which means that it's nothing more than that- the opinion of person out of 5 billion plus. That doesn't make it an established fact.
What hypocrisy? How have you determined that I am a hypocrite? In what areas have you determined that I am willfully ignorant? How do you know what I know and why?
