You need to shut down your transmitter long enough for your receiver to function. The debate in this thread is not about whether man spontaneously arose from the primordial soup, it is about the validity of the catholic Churches endorsement of Theistic Evolution. The main point being that God using the laws of science that He created does not diminish the miraculous nature of His creations. If you are so hung up on the time the process took just remember that God created space and time and the relationships between them, but if you would prefer card tricks........
What an eloquent way to influence people and persuade them to your point of view. BTW, my receiver is functioning quite well.

How wonderful it is that we have you to come along and tell us what we are discussing. Not one person on this thread had a clue until you deigned to drop by. Thank you for enlightening us wee simple folk.
Now, to enlighten you, the Catholic church's endorsement was not even mentioned in the article. The article was from the Institute for Creation Research.

You must actually read the article in question and the ensuing thread. This was not in question. What was in question, at least my salient point, was that Christianity and evolution are mutually exclusive.

This is truly asanine. I am not 'hung up' on time. God's word specifically states God created heaven and the Earth. His revelation to Moses was each time period used for significant events was a 24 hour period. This is for man's reasoning. Whether the Almighty used 24 actual hours to do one thing or another is entirely His business, but He revealed a time period that was put into the account of creation. What I find more poignant is that there were those significant events and they were grouped according to some category of creation. The time thing is merely a side note, as far as I am concerned, and not a litmus test for salvation. What is fundamental though, is the difference between a created being and an accident.
but if you would prefer card tricks......
Truly a dizzying intellect.
