Here goes another Flame war!
***That was why I went to the trouble of getting the scientism tag accepted as an ecumenical tag under the religious moderator’s guidelines, so that we could all have more polite discussion. So far, the only folks who’ve been asked to leave such threads by the moderator have all been evolutionists.
Even when I was an evolutionist I believed in school choice. I wish the discussion could stop there. Choice is freedom. Freedom is superior to tyranny. But no, that’s not enough. OK. Looking deeper.
Currently, I know enough to realise that I don’t know what to believe about our origins, and frankly, I’m Devo. “Are we not men?” Our origins are about as important to me as what color baby booties I had. Science tries to disprove the Bible. That’s why so much energy is driven behind the evolution debate.
What most evolutionists don’t get is that they will never prove the Bible is a fairy tale. They might find a few apparent inconsistencies. But there is too much evidence that backs up the miracle of the Bible to ever completely discredit it. On a more pragmatic level, the Bible does tremendous good and little harm results from those who misread it.
Back to the real debate:
How anyone can think he’s able to twist around ‘choice’ to mean ‘fundamentalism’ and ‘child abuse’, well, such a guy can try. But it’s deception. Choice is choice. Child abuse is child abuse. And slander is slander.
