The primary tactic employed by priests eager to accommodate themselves and the Church to modern science and evolutionary thinking is predictable. It is the argument that evolution is entirely compatible with the Bible when we see Genesis, especially the first three chapters, in a non-literal, non-historical context. This is the argument embraced and advanced by mega-church pastor Timothy J. Keller.

With a position paper Keller published with the theistic evolutionary organization Bio Logos he joined the ranks of falling stars (Catholic and Protestant priests) stretching back to the Renaissance. Their slippery-slide into apostasy began when they gave into the temptation to embrace a non-literal, non-historical view of Genesis.

Help me out here. How is heresy a subject for News/Activism?

"Having ceased to be a minister of Christ, he who is represented by this star becomes the minister of the devil; and lets loose the powers of hell against the churches"

This is erroneous on two counts. (1) This star is a good angel. His name is Apollyon (Destroyer) or Abaddon--see Rev 9:11. He is doing Gods bidding during the wrath of the sounding of the 5th trumpet. (2)The saved (saints) have been gathered already (Rev 7:8). So, he is not tormenting believers, but the unsaved.

Abandon is the same angel who in Rev 20:1 comes down from heaven again and lays hold of the dragon, the Devil, binds him and casts him into the bottomless pit. The devil does not reign in hell. He is imprisoned there. After a thousand years he is cast into the lake of fire where the beast and the false prophet aree, and shall be tormented day and night forever. (Rev 20:10)

I’m as anti-evolution as they come, but why is this in “news” instead of “religion?”

“In more detail they observed that authentic ‘born again’ Christians are far less likely to accept cults and pseudoscientific beliefs while the irreligious and liberalized Christians (i.e., progressive Catholics, Protestant emergent, NAR, word faith, prosperity gospel) are open to unscientific notions. In fact, these two groups are most disposed toward occultism.”

No surprise here. Same with born-again Christians not having encounters with demonic activity, like UFOs.

In case folks are getting tired of attacking each other, here (from today's FR, and without comment) is a (somewhat) related "new bone for the chewing" to keep this lengthy thread moving along:

Scientists discover double meaning in genetic code...
