He knew it was coming. He should have evolved before it was too late.

"I was curious about far places,"
And his curiousity led him to believe in evolution. I'm glad I have no such desire to 'learn' something that's anti-God and instead find strength in my ignorance of such matters.

yeah, cause that is why he died right? This guy may have been athiest, but evolution is not in itself "anti-God". I believe in both, I think your statement shows the "strength of your ignorance of such matters". Some would say it is anti-God to judge others.

I'm glad I have no such desire to 'learn' something that's anti-God and instead find strength in my ignorance of such matters. A rare and telling acknowledgement. When as often happens I note that creationism relies heavily on bludgeoning with ignorance (the ignorance of the creationist, of course), the cries of "Personal attack!" ring from everywhere.

"instead find strength in my ignorance of such matters."
'ignorance' being the key word here.

Actually, it DID happen, else we wouldn't be reading this.

Did you mean to illustrate my point?
I said "... the ignorance of the creationist."
You asked, "Are you implying that the Creator was ignorant??"
To: rhtwngwarrior
And his curiousity led him to believe in evolution. I'm glad I have no such desire to 'learn' something that's anti-God and instead find strength in my ignorance of such matters.Thank you for an exquisite exposition of the fundamentalist Christian position on evolution. No supporter of the mainstream scientific position could express the weakness of the evolution-rejectors better.
