Where do you stand in this matter allmendream? How do you, as a Christian, reconcile such mutually exclusive tendencies in your own life and thought?
That’s what it boils down to in a nutshell. As far as anyone can tell, it pretty much entails picking and choosing what parts of the Christian Bible that appeal to his sensibilities and he freely rejects the rest.
Then, when others, quite naturally and logically point this out, he just attacks them and exclaims the strawman that they’re no more pious than he is, are liars...blah blah blah.
Then with a striaght face other evolutionists will chime in that science and religion are somehow compatable!
Of course it’s possible to compartmentalize parts of your life separate from the other partts I guess.
There must be a term, scientifically and otherwise for this possibility! :)
One term I've come across to denote this phenomenon is: the divided self.
