The evos seem more wedded to a purely materialistic view characterized by the magic lightning bolt striking the primordial soup and, somehow, bringing about life in all of its infinite complexity. Count me skeptical particularly since Scripture says otherwise.

1. You are mixing up the theory of evolution. It does not address the beginning of life.

2. The Bible says man came from 'the dust of the ground'. Soup or dust. Whatever.

[BlackElk]

1. Nor does it address the role of God in creation.

2. Nor do you. God can create life from dust or from anything or from nothing. He is wonderful and can do anything even without the approval or of lab geeks.

1a. You fail to notice that I find the theory of evolution entirely irrelevant to my life along with its cult of believers. What God wrote through Moses will do quite nicely. What Darwin wrote out of frustrated failure as a theology student calls forth no need to be addressed. You are entitled to your hobbies. Enjoy. I am entitled to ignore your hobbies. It's (at least momentarily) a free country. I see no reason why I should pay taxes to propagate Darwinian fantasies in gummint edjumakashun (the parochial skewels of the secular humanists and anti-American elements as well).
