If your view and defending your view is not that important than why are you bothering to post about this story???

You really have no response to back up your belief in theistic evolution- no real hard facts about what either the Church or Science teaches regarding the play.

What you are doing with your position is saying that Genesis can not be historical- so you are really calling the bible a fable to explain our origins. You do not believe the bible is factual. If the bible is not factual that Adam was created from the dust of the earth i.e. inorganic matter and Eve was created from his side- which is what orthodox rabies believe and the past popes and Doctors of the Church- then were does that leave your belief on the bodily resurrection of Christ or his ascention into heaven or the miracles or the fact that he spoke of Jonah in the belly of the whale for three days as a historical even??


I think you have been brainwashed because you go with modern scientific opinion which has clearly been disproved in regards to the fossil record and in regards to the fact that macro evolution can not be proved with missing links or so called punctuated equilibrium.

Where is your faith in all of the things I have asked you above??

You're putting ideas in my head.

I said that not everything in the Bible is factual; surely you know that allegory and parable are used extensively.

The origin of man has no effect whatsoever on belief in the Resurrection of Christ.

you go with modern scientific opinion which has clearly been disproved in regards to the fossil record

On the contrary, fossil records prove that the earth is many thousands of years old, not 7500 as the fundamentalists believe.

Jonah was not in the belly of any whale for any period of time. That is a prophetic allegory of Christ's time in the tomb. In fact, all of Jonah may be an allegory.

Whether it is or not is not important. The truths contained in Jonah are what are important.
