TX- I say that “born again is ...devolution.. “ — quite the opposite.

TX—>> NO... I would say that “conversion” or “being born again” or, “spiritual re-birth”is as close to the exact opposite of “evolution” i.e. #103 posting..

If the opposite is other than devolution than what is it?..
please try to pay attention..

I WROTE: "If there ever were a perfect example of of a "guided process" (as opposed to a 'random, 'drunkard's walk' progression [aka "evolution"], I would state unequivocally that maturation of a truly "re-born" believer is that case."

There is my definition of evolution -- clearly stated. Nowhere in it is there any guarantee of either upward OR downward change.

Your non-standard pseudo-definition of "evolution" as a positive trend is just that: non-standard, and totally non sequitur and invalid.

I'm fed up with your refusal to read and your twisting of what I have written.

What I have written, I have written. STET!

I did you the courtesy of providing a reasoned response.

Now

I

am

done

with

you

...and this discussion.
