He’s as much a Christian as I am (Catholic), and a better one most likely.
He’s not saying it isn’t true either. He has the traditional Christian opinion (see St. Augustine). Which is not liberal in the slightest.
I thought we on this side had the big tent, wheres that gone ?
A big tent perhaps, but that doesn’t mean you water down your most sacred held beliefs. It’s like telling God he’s a liar.
I don't think so. People who say that evolution can be squared with Christianity should take some time out to read what evolutionists say. They are, after all, the authorities on their theory. Here is Darwin's Bulldog, T.H. Huxley:
"When I first read Mr. Darwin's, book, that which struck me most forcibly was, that Teleology (Design), as commonly understood, had received its death blow at Mr. Darwin's hands. For the teleological argument runs thus: 'An organ is fitted to perform a function or purpose, therefore it was specially constructed to perform that function.' This is precisely what Darwin denies with regard to plants and animals. If we apprehend the spirit of the Origin of Species rightly, then nothing can be more entirely and absolutely opposed to Design in Nature than the Darwinian hypothesis.""In addition to the truth of the doctrine of evolution, indeed, one of its greatest merits in my eyes, is the fact that it occupies a position of complete and irreconcilable antagonism to that vigorous and consistent enemy of the highest intellectual, moral, and social life of mankind--the Catholic Church."
