The moral nature of people doesn't change. You didn't read very carefully what I wrote. The nature of human inquiry does change--for instance, we are not nearly so concerned with the minutiae of theology as were theologians in the 14th and 15th centuries. Just as none of them wondered about how someone got either brown or blue eyes.
The Torah does not attempt to explain how God created--it just says he made it and there it is.
And you, in turn, attack those who do not conflate science and theology.

Bravo! You seem to have a keen eye for hypocrisy!

The moral nature of people doesn't change. Is it still a depraved moral nature? Or has the centuries and knowledge combined to make him a more noble beast? One thing, and one thing only can change that nature and it isn't man and his marvelous brain

So you say you are an ordained deacon in the Episcopal church. Do you believe in God and was Jesus fully human and fully divine? (I'm no longer into assuming everyone believes as I do, just asking. After all, many in churches today dont think a belief in God is necessary to draw a paycheck or preach or whatever it is they do)
If God went to the trouble of having Moses record the origin of man, why would you believe in a theory like evolution? Is man just the result of a climb out of slime? If so, why fool around with a concept like God anyway. Why not just have a Church of Man and be done with it?
Does man have a soul? Where did he get it? Why even have it if he's all animal?
Do you know the difference in the bible between the cattle and the cattle?
