LOL.

Thanks for the emphasis added at the end of the post. I thought your copy of the Bible just got more strident as the passages went on.

As to your contention that Romans 1:23 reflects God's being "prepared" for the ToE, I would counter that part of that depends on the translation one uses. Your translation appears to come from the New King James, but read the passage in other translations.


The King James version reads:

23: And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.


The English Standard Version reads:

23: and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

Young's literal translation reads:

23: and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.

In this commentators humble opinion, it is clear that this passage is not discussing scientific theories that will arise in the future, but rather the appearance of the idols then being worshipped. In fact, some of the descriptions read an awful lot like that which was being worshipped in Egypt at the time.

Just a thought.


I looked at the same passage in

It does cover a broad swath of anti-God dissension.

The "...worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator..." part most epitomizes the materialistic relativism that Darwinism fosters.
