Bobby Jindal and the GOP Don’t Believe in Evolution

Some things were said in parables..
Yes , the creation story for example.
It was a way people with zero sense of science could explain what they saw in nature. God created the universe , evolution was the method He used. It wasen’t literally done in days.

[mysterio]

Not all the Bible is allegory.

Agreed. But the fact that Genesis lines up almost exactly with evolution leads me to believe it is allegory.

I think it's important for us to understand the greater message : that animals who are not self aware are incapable of sin, but we must guard against sin since we have developed higher intellect. It's a blessing and a curse. That's the take-home message.

>It wasen’t literally done in days.

But that’s what it says.

Jesus confirmed it when He spoke of Adam and Eve.

To doubt Genesis is to call Jesus a liar. Since Jesus was “God manifest in the flesh” then to doubt Genesis is to doubt God too.

[PaleoBob]

God? Isn’t that the same fella Obama allegedly believes in?

[Antoninus]

They're trying to pigeon-hole Bobby Jindal already. It's easier to do that than to debate him--because the man is brilliant and will make most Dem-atheists look stupid.

The GOP would be smart to make Jindal and Palin the faces of the party. Of course, the GOP is not smart...

Okfine.

[ari-freedom]

yes, they were days with light in the morning and darkness in the evening.

I’m glad you said it. I was too busy cleaning off the water I spit on my screen.

[Mr.Grumble]

Of course it was done in days. There is absolutely no Biblical reason to believe it was done in any span of time other than that which God stipulated. God is all powerful, He can create a mountain in an instant even if by our measure and science it would take untold eons. God certainly didn’t use evolution to do anything since that theory is illogical and doesn’t fit into the evidence (fossile record) that we’ve discovered.

If you believe in the legitimacy of the story of Lot and Lot's wife, then you must necessarily believe in the legitimacy of the tradition behind that story ~ to wit, Little Red Man, Herb Woman and Reindeer Man.

So, how you stand with Santa Claus?

[deannadurbin]

I’ll leave those little fellows to you, since you obviously specialize in fiction. I specialize in Truth. :)

[littlehouse36]

Jindal Derangement Syndrome is just over the horizon.

So, how you stand with Santa Claus? *********************** Me, personally, I believe he lives in the North Pole with Mrs. Claus.

Liberals and Dems believe he lives in Washington DC.

[muawiyah]

So you think the story of Lot and his wife are works of fiction?

What you have is a great moral lesson that's inspired women throughout Eur-Asia for tens of thousands of years, and you dismiss it so easily.

It's in the Bible hot-shot, so it's TRUE.

[ari-freedom]

Lot is in the Bible, not reindeer man or santa claus...what the heck are you talking about?

[deannadurbin]

I wasn’t referring to Lot and his wife, but your fictional characters.

Satan is a counterfeitor of Truth, so it should be of no surprise to any Christian that pagan beliefs are often reflections of biblical truths.

[dr_lew]

I’m one of them there crazy bible literalists.

There's nothing about intelligent design in Genesis I. God does everything by fiat. The world functions at His command, not by His design.

[muawiyah]

The story of Lot and his wife is best known from pictoglyphs prepared up to 7,500 years ago in Northern Finland and Russia.

It's interesting that it was such a good story, and so meaningful to women that it was handed down intact to the time when the Jews learned to read and write.

[muawiyah]

Not quite, God planted a garden in Eden. That means, literally, he already had the plants stored somewhere else.

So, yeah, right there's "intelligent design".

So, how you stand with Santa Claus?

I just have to interject my favorite movie quote. It's between Art Carney, as a semi-retired PI, and Roger Moore, as a client who picked him out of the phone book at random, convinced someone is trying to kill him.

Carney tells Moore to get a gun. Moore says, "I don't believe in guns," and Carney replies, "... and I don't believe in Santa Claus, but he still comes every year."
