Not yet they don’t. I’m talking about the science of it. You raise up science to discredit Genesis. That opens the door for anyone to use science to discredit the Resuurection.

CINO’s will grow, apologetics will expand, The Saviour will become, ‘just a teacher’, just and ‘example’ of how to live. Afterall, Christians shouldn’t offend with their beliefs, we should try, at all costs to be inclusive.

Right?

Actually, you are right. There are very liberal Catholics who claim just what you said. But there are also a whole heck of a lot of liberal Protestants who also claim the exact same thing. The mistake they makes is the same thing that Biblical literalists and Protestant fundamentalists make: they believe that science and faith are intrinsically opposed to each other and can never, ever be reconciled. It is a falsehood which great Catholic thinkers like our current Pope have strongly, repeatedly repudiated. Science is the one of the means to understanding God’s creation. Not the only means, but definitely one of them. For a religious person to view science as something to be feared and shunned is a gigantic mistake. You are throwing away one of the greatest gifts God has given us.

Brain dead, rigored, probably well into decay... You raise up science to discredit Genesis. That opens the door for anyone to use science to discredit the Resuurection.

Are you questioning the science of evolution and not the science of rigor mortis?
