Christ was perfect, evolution is not about perfection it is about mutations, jumping species and evolution points a finger in the eye of the Heavenly Father. Flesh man because of allll their imperfections could well fit the fable of evolution, however, that requires leaving out Christ as HE was perfect, yet He came to this earth born of woman, to be the final perfect blood sacrifice, and through his death salvation was offered to any would follow him.

You have no problem slandering anyone who does not believe in evolution BASED upon your faith, practice what you preach. You are not 'gods' yet.

So Catholics who follow church teaching think we're gods? Why does it not surprise me that you couldn't go without condemning a Christian who is not a fundamentalist for not sharing your beliefs?


And for your edification, evolution is about CHANGE. Period. It has NOTHING to do with "perfection" but has everything to do with understanding. It is entirely possible to be a Christian and NOT take the Old Testament creation stories literally for one reason: They are meant to be morality stories. They teach a lesson about the strength of God and the fallibility of man, but also that man can redeem himself. The point of the flood story isn't that someone built a boat and put animals on it, it's that GOD GIVES SECOND CHANCES.

Religion is faith....it comes from within. Science is understanding....it comes from without. A closed mind that can only see things literally is a waste of what God created. It's attitudes such as those expressed by the creationists and the literalists that drive many good souls from the Church....you might want to think about that sometime.

If you are going to relate Jesus to mortal man, you have got a problem with that virgin birth thing.
