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.

There is a difference in following the Words of Christ and what a church holds as doctrine.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with God, and the WORD was God.

Now how convenient that church teaches don't take such and such literally when Paul himself said these thing happened to them for our warning as to what the end of this age would be.

Now you are FREE to choose what you choose to believe but you have NO authority to LORD over others supremacy of your belief when it downplays the very WORD of God.

Christ said let NO man deceive you and that has been my search to avoid that deception by man.
