So you say you are an ordained deacon in the Episcopal church. Do you believe in God and was Jesus fully human and fully divine? (I'm no longer into assuming everyone believes as I do, just asking. After all, many in churches today dont think a belief in God is necessary to draw a paycheck or preach or whatever it is they do)

If God went to the trouble of having Moses record the origin of man, why would you believe in a theory like evolution? Is man just the result of a climb out of slime? If so, why fool around with a concept like God anyway. Why not just have a Church of Man and be done with it?

Does man have a soul? Where did he get it? Why even have it if he's all animal?

Do you know the difference in the bible between the cattle and the cattle?

It is an unusual angle about the slime idea I had never heard before....

DEJ, you are a man of many questions.

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son our Lord....etc.

I don't think belief in God and evolution are mutually exclusive. God had to do all this somehow--evolution would seem to be as good a way as any. God's ways and will are inscrutable. Through a glass darkly and all that. I still think that God foresaw our human curiosity and did a lot of stuff just to keep our brains busy. Idle hands (and minds) being the devil's workshop...
