<< You sure like to beat around the bush. >>
On the contrary -- I am very direct, to the point of bluntness. I have been exceedingly clear in what I have stated. I just didn't want to write a dissertation on my opinion of Jesus, because that is irrelevant to the issues concerning evolution.
<< What then was Jefferson's overall assessment, just so we're clear. >>
Please -- google it, and read to your heart's content. There may be some details I would not match up with -- but overall, if my memory is correct, I agree with Jefferson. This is not the place for a dissertation on the subject.
And what about my question about ethics? I have answered every one of your questions -- far beyond what I wanted to do, simply because it is off-topic. How about a little reciprocation?
Something about you just does not ring true to me thus my questions. You apparently do not believe in the divinity of Christ but won't just come out and say it, preferring to have others here continue to believe that you once were a YEC pastor, but now you have seen the light.
