"Knowledge of the sciences is so much smoke apart from the heavenly science of Christ." -- John Calvin


Calvin had no choice but but to say that junk; what is your excuse? :) It's a good thing Galileo and Newton didn't think like Calvin. Or you. They believed that the study of nature was the study of God's Creation.

What, by the way, are you a Doctor of? You've shown precious little understanding of science so far. In fact, you have not even tried to provide any argument against evolution other than spouting bible quotes. Please say your doctorate isn't medical related. Or that it is just the literary pretension it appears to be.

I was writing post #570 while you were posting the above; I agree with you, Calvin is an awfully dubious advocate for the religiously minded.

Here's some idle speculation: imagine Thomas Jefferson, Tom Paine, John Adams, Ben Franklin &c. living in Calvin's Geneva. I think there is a good chance they would have organised a Revolution to overthrow that tyranny even faster than they got it together to dump George III!
