***Please read my exchange of posts with Alex Murphy to see what I meant.***
Thank you for the post.
***You Catholics have distrusted the Bible since the Reformation.***
Distrust is not the correct term. Interpretation and the accuracy of that interpretation is.
***That’s why you are so in love with liberal nineteenth century Protestant criticism and with evolution.***
Evolution is a scientifically proven fact - it has been done with haploid plants in the laboratory and has been repeated. Liberal Protestant criticism? In what manner do you mean?
Evolution is the method God used to create life.
Evolutionary theory that denies God is atheist, but recognizing that the science need not deny God is not distrustful of Scripture in any way.
Oooh, what a grammatical train wreck. Let's see:
When evolutionary theory insists on denying God, it is necessarily atheist...
That's much more clear, I hope.
It is also a scientifically proven fact that human beings cannot be born without fertilization of the mother by a male, that people can't walk on water, that bread and wine don't change into flesh and blood, that dead people stay dead, that five loaves and two fishes can't be magically multiplied to feed thousands of people, that the sun doesn't "dance" in the sky . . . need I go on? No, your evolutionism is based on an allergy towards "those people" who live in trailers and have names like Billy Bob.
- it has been done with haploid plants in the laboratory and has been repeated.
So you're saying that the fact that people got plants to evolve in a lab is scientific proof that everything in the universe evolved without any Divine "interference?"
Liberal Protestant criticism? In what manner do you mean?
Oh, you know . . . JEPD, the first eleven chapters of Genesis are didactic mythology drawn from ancient Mesopotamian and Canaanite mythology, and your beloved Darwinism.
This is why the Catholic Church is collapsing in on itself. This is why you have Obama at Notre Dame and a secular canonization of Ted Kennedy. It all goes back to a rejection of G-d's veracity based on an intellectual pridefulness that "we aren't like those awful people who live in Arkansas."
You people deserve the J*sus Seminar and that guy who pierced a consecrated host with a nail. You're hypocrites and you brought it on yourselves. And who would want to join or rejoin such a church?
Did these plants turn into fish???
