Nope, sorry, you must be evil if you believe there is
any wisdom in the bible, any moral lessons, and that
it is not just a dry record of historic events.

AN ALL-POWERFUL GOD ISN'T POWERFUL ENOUGH
TO EXIST IF GENESIS ISN'T LITERALLY TRUE!

If you were smart & moral you'd know these things.

Dodging == treating the bible as a collection of
moral tales & lessons.

If we got here by evolution, then Jesus is not Savior.

We got here by evolution. Deal with it and move on.

You said so, so it must be true. Have a nice life.

"Many fossils have been collected since 1859, tons of
them, yet the impact they have had on our understanding
of the relationships between living organisms is barely
perceptible. ...In fact, I do not think it unfair to
say that fossils, or at least the traditional
interpretation of fossils, have clouded rather than
clarified our attempts to reconstruct phylogeny."

Palaeontological Stores," 1982, p. 120-121)

Creation is a Biblical thing.

And intepreting the bible literally is an (American) protestant thing.
(Though a characteristic shared by many Jews and Muslims).

Treating the bibe as gospel!

You can try to dodge the Scriptures if you want to.
But it is hypocrisy to claim that one believes in a
denomination that claims to believe the Scriptures
and then tosses the basic idea of the Scriptures
aside.

If we got here by evolution, then Jesus is not Savior.

I had no idea being Savior was a biological process.

So I take it you are mistaking me for a Christian?

Or are you someone who thinks that no insights into
the human condition can be found in the various myths of
the world?

Or do you not think that insights into the human
condition can be found in various myths, Christian and otherwise,
or that these myths do not arise directly from the human experience?

made the phosphor on my monitor glow in such a
way as to indicate that:

Fact is, the man was born in 1933. If you're having
some difficulty with the math (and if you're a
creationist git then surely you are) that would make
him 73 years old.

And he has cancer. Both is age and medical condition would be pretty
good reasons for retiring. If the vatican opposes his views then the
pope can just flat out contradict him on the spot. There's no need for
them to beat around the bush. The fact is that the vatican doesn't know
what lie to tell next, so, for now, they're keeping their ignorant mouths
shut.

Speaking of keeping ignorant mouths shut,


Yes, speaking of ignorant mouths, I knew we'd have to hear yours
eventually.


maybe you should work on
your own.

Nope, you're wrong as usual.



The Church does not oppose evolution.

No, but Pope BeenADick is trying to backpedal as furiously as possible,
because he is clearly an old, stupid, and scientifically uninformed
person, when it comes to evolution.



Creationism is a
Protestant thing.

No, fool, creationism is pretty much a theist thing and certainly one
found throughout Judaism, Christianity and Islam, to name but a few.

It's a "literal interpretation of the Bible" thing, and Catholicism is not
known for that these days.

Poop BeenADick is clearly a Creationist stooge and hopes to destroy the
last vestiges of sanity that were left in Catholicism.

That's inadequate. Creationism is described in many traditions other
than the "Bible", moron.
