This must explain why the NBA is not discussed in the Bible. Look, this notion that the Bible contradicts evolution is pure supposition. With no palpable evidence I am being told to believe a certain way because of the way some humans intetpret the Bible.
As to the idea that the Church did not play a role in blocking science, this is totally and inescabably false. You can say that others also felt this way but that does not alter facts.
I believe in God and I believe that evolution is real. Perhaps I am wrong. Could be, but those taking a stance that they know absolutely that I am wrong cannot scientifically prove that no matter how indignant they might get.
You just stated two beliefs (neither logically provable) that are contrary to each other. Choose one. Stop kidding yourself.
What I said about evolution being a man-made johnny-come-lately religious philosophy held to but unprovable by real science is quite correct. Its tenet is that variation within a kind (micro-"evolution") can and has/does lead to a completely new, sustainable kind (macro-evolution); which has never happened.
Apparently you're not getting and benefitting from the point that the posting of this article is that a lengthy and expertly researched treatise apropos to the issues is freely offered to you! Why don't you download it, peruse it, then bring back unanswered points for further discussion?
To introduce arguments here already covered there is lazy and unproductive, eh?
The position of evolution is that it sits athwart the contention of Genesis Chapter one, which is: that an all-powerful, all-knowing, pre-existing eternal Being created--ex nihilo--time, space, matter, and continuity; as well as making both inanimate structures and animate kinds of the materials; and did it all in six literal consecutive evening-morning days (with no cataclysm as misinterpreting the verb "to be" in verse 2 yields); ceasing creative activity for one more ensuing evening-morning; and that in this elapsed time all living kinds of things were created, with no possibility of any further kind "evolving" from the panoply of DNA-defined distinct kinds already instituted. Extinction, yes; adventitious appearance by chance, time, and erroneous cell-duplication, no.
Believe this or not, OK. But do not suggest that this interpretation of the account is not literal and exact, nor that it is an allegorical representation of some other reality. To do so is to call The God a liar, right from "the beginning."
The concept of evolution is not an embodiment of scientific fact. It is an antitheological construct opposing the nature and will of The God who has progressively revealed, orally and in writing, His forethought Plan for saving mankind individually from the consequences of sin and death (entropy).
