This outlook tends to limit the strong meat effects of the Christian way as it was orignially intended.

In your not-so-humble opinion?

TToE is NOT a philosphical thing. It is a scientific theory. Turning people to ignorance on purpose, which such nonsense as Creationism and ID, which have no emperical evidence, and worse, using that ignorance to attempt to discredit TToE is doing the work of Satan -- period. Trying to discredir the Theory of Evolution is the same as trying to discredit the Theory of Gravity.

Christianity is the belief in Christ as God's son, who died for Humanity's sins. Neither you nor your ilk get to set the parameters on what is "true" Christianity.

"In your not-so-humble opinion?"

As you may recall, I'm referring to suffering. In my experience, folks who avoid and/or run from any experience which involves suffering are the norm. Being made fun of is the weapon of choice by those who attack those who don't turn and run. At minimum, it reveals in stark light to the timid the consequences of not running.

"...using that ignorance to attempt to discredit TToE is doing the work of Satan -- period."

So, I'm doing the work of Satan? I suppose that is going beyond making fun, yes?

"Trying to discredir the Theory of Evolution is the same as trying to discredit the Theory of Gravity."

The acceleration due to the gravity of Earth can be measured to roughly 9.8 m/s2. This can be proven, repeatedly, in the lab.

I forget, would you please tell me what evolutionary parameters, have been measured, repeatedly, in the lab?

Defying the law of gravity can kill you. Defying the law of evolution? Well, I would argue that some believe it is worth killing over. But I don't believe that.

And by the way, I never am interested in discrediting ToE as near as much as I'm interested in crediting the Way. No matter how effective I am at discrediting ToE, it is for naught if the only result is that someone casts about for something else as inane as philosophical materialism ... e.g., scientology. Or Christian Science.

Hmmmm. You do realize the death of a loved intersects both Darwinism and Christian Science? For Charles, who only had a formal degree in Theology, it was the death of his daughter, 12 year old Annie, that was the tipping point. For Mary Baker Eddy, it was the death of George Glover, her husband, but especially, it was when her Dad's new wife kicked out Mary's little boy, George Jr. Can't imagine a grief like that, that she suffered through...

It must have broke her heart ... so she invented a new religion with herself as the first high priestess....and oh yes, she wrote a book, and it is quoted from this day in her 'churches', and specifically, she attacks the ressurection of Jesus as being a fraud.

But I wouldn't claim Darwin himself, or Mary B. E. are 'doing' the work of Satan. I would say lazy folks are refusing to do the work of Christ, and include myself in that group at too many times.

And by the way, Christianity is also loving God first, others second, and especially, loving others as Christ loved us.

Sometimes Christians struggle with this, and make too much room for the enemy as a consequence.
