The Dirty Little Secret Is Out: Religious Faith and Evolution Are Incompatible
ICR ^ | March 20, 2009 | Frank Sherwin, M.A.

Posted on 03/20/2009 7:59:40 PM PDT by GodGunsGuts

In a recent book review, Jerry Coyne, professor of ecology and evolution at the University of Chicago, admitted that the secular worldview of macroevolution (the development of complex life from “simpler” forms) is at odds with Christian faith...

Cool tidbit of information, if one that leads to some funny imagery (e.g. a bunch of Roman soldiers taking their oaths while clutching themselves as if they'd just been kneed, Michael Jackson as a covenant-maker, etc). That'll be fun to share with the class. Thanks.

Maybe that's where the Italians got their hand intensive expression: "I got your [fill in the blank] right here!

hide the grail....Ark

As Joseph of Arimathea it is indeed true that I am quite ancient. Yet, I have never made this confession to anyone until now.

It wasn't grail...Ark. It was more like Ark...grail that came out of my mouth that day.

(Truly we should blame the ale of those Britains, for that was a garbled word, uttered after a fine afternoon of sampline the various ales of the inn in which we'd rested from our journeys.)

Something like "ark..grail" I'd uttered, and those attending had become instantly alert. Ark? Grail? their wild eyes lighted at the prospect. Mary Maggie had all she could do to hold in her twitter. Fortunately, she did not ruin the moment. We have profitted mightily from that ale-borne slip 'o the tongue ever since, if you get my monetary meaning.

But, I'd actually been speaking of our journey, and a dangerous precipice we'd barely survived....saved only by a "guardrail."

But the multiple pints of ale made it come out "Ark...grail."

The coins began to clink into our coffers. So why correct a harmless slur of the tongue?

because you are one of my favorite light-hearted, nonsensical kind of guys.

I object. No one has ever accused me of that before.

Besides, I always offer you a chance to reply to my preterist Jesus snarks. :>)

But I'm not a preterist as you define it.

And...who knows...you might just know a decent joke or two.

1. You now stand so accused.

2. And how has that ever stopped me before?

3. No, I haven’t heard it yet. But...please...break the joke into 7 parts.

Well, there goes my reputation as a hard-nosed, unamusing SOB who hates small children and puppies.

2. And how has that ever stopped me before?

I guess you’re right.

3. No, I haven’t heard it yet. But...please...break the joke into 7 parts.

That’s the joke! There is no more.

Don:    I didn't know you had a cousin Penelope, Bill!  Was she
        pretty?
W. C.:  Well, her face was so wrinkled it looked like seven miles of
        bad road.  She had so many gold teeth, Don, she use to have to
        sleep with her head in a safe.  She died in Bolivia.
Don:    Oh Bill, it must be hard to lose a relative.
W. C.:  It's almost impossible.

An old Indian saying: before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their moccasins. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their moccasins.
