I was thinking the other day, that in Christianity there is room for evolution, but in Evolution there is no room for Christianity.

Why is that?

[JmyBryan]

It depends how you define Christianity. Many evolutionists consider themselves Christians.

You're getting information from only one side?

What JmyBryan said is true: Many evolutionists are Christians. In fact, Kennetn Brown, IMO the best evolutionist debater today & I hear is one of the talking heads in the Evolution series, is a Catholic.

But since I'm not one of them, let me state the Objectivist/atheist view:

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator^* with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

---

^*The "creator" was once almost universally thought to be a supernatural person, but it is becoming clearer over time that the creator of (us as human beings at least) was a purely natural process. This fact changes nothing about the self-evident truths above - the essential fact is that we are endowed with these rights. Individual rights are essential for our survival as thinking beings.

There is plenty of room for Christianity in evolution, as well as Judaism and other religions, as long as one doesn't use these religions as a pretext to try to rewrite natural history. You're comparing apples and eggs.

Think about it some more.

This is absolutely not true, the theory of evolution does not invalidate the concept of a God. In fact the Roman Catholic Church has officially accepted the theory of evolution as NOT in conflict with the church.

It would seem to me to be completly the other way round. It's the religious people out there who are continually assaulting evolution. But I do not see scientists assaulting Christianity (except perhaps in their own personal opionions, NOT as scientists).

Only in your mind is this true.

I suppose to those who choose to believe the Bible literally in all instances, particularly the Old Testament, there would be no room in their persuasion of Christianity for evolution. I do note though that the Catholic Church has had an open mind about evolution for quite some time.

[Terriergal]

I was thinking the other day that there really isn't much room in Christianity for Evolution either.

Why is that?

That is because there is no room for religion in science. Science, by definition is the study of how the universe works when there is no divine intervention. If there is divine intervention, then it is theology, not science.
