"There is nothing in TTOE that speaks to or against God."

That's just what I've been saying. Darwin's theory INHERENTLY discredits the Bible. Sorry, but that's what the whole fight is about.

""Your assertion is like saying that if we don't believe that angels hold airplanes aloft we must therefore not believe in God.""

No, I've been saying that just because Darwin never addressed the issue of God in his hypothesis, it doesn't mean that EvoThink does not contradict Him or His Word.

And just for the record, since Jesus said that His disciples will do even greater things than He did, so you, of course, believe in the power of miracles as a Christian? Just wondering. Your overly emotional response belies the true spirit behind the Evo argument, btw. As the Bible says, "words betray the heart" -- as you undoubtedly already know and believe.

So physics discredits the Bible? Much of the Bible doesn't make sense scientifically. Numbers establishes a world much younger than is possible. The Bible is a theological text, not a scientific one.

It also does't say anything about how freeways should be striped, what should be on the menu at Hoo Chong's Chinese Restaurant and a bazillion other things. When a subject is silent on another you can make no logical inferences. This is a perticularly pernicous lie you CRIDers try to run.

As I said in the previous post, there is no relationship between miracles and evolution. Evolution is a scientific discussion, miracles a theological one (although scientific studies on miracles is interesting -- just a different topic). This is yet another strawman (lie) that you CRIDer try to get by on.
