You are rambling at #45, Junior. The article is scholarly and speaks for itself, your attempts at mischaracterization notwithstanding. It is you that has the problem with Christianity, Junior, and you have to marshall the Taliban to combat it. Glib mischaracterization won't wash, Junior.

Jim Robinson recently had to inform "Junior" that the rules of FreeRepublic apply to him as well as to other people and that he couldn't include outright smear sheets in his little "ultimate crevo" thread. You be the judge....

Do you deny that you are reacting to science (particularly biology) in a manner not reminiscent of the fundamentalist Moslem reaction to progress?

Why are you so vehemently anti-Evolution? Why does a simple theory of speciation strike you with such dread? I have no problem with the concept of God - I am a firm believer in the Almighty - I do have a problem with people who refuse to understand basic science because they are afraid of the conclusions they might draw: that the first book of the Bible cannot be taken literally. For some strange, inexplicable reason these folks believe that, if Genesis is just an allegory the whole Bible is a fraud -- completely discounting the humongous store of wisdom found throughout the work might survive any such paradigm shift on their part. Take it from me, such a paradigm shift is liberating and can actually bring one closer to God.

The reason I lump fundamentalist Christians in with fundamentalist Moslems is they both exhibit the same thought processes. They both see the world changing around them and they both fear the results of that change. Both also hold the belief that God cannot let this change occur so He's bound to step in at any moment and bring it all to a halt. The similarities are to obvious to miss unless one is too close to the subject.
