“do you consider your assertion that teaching evolution delivers children into the “hands of Hell” an example of “reasoned debate”?”
I certainly do. If I was overstating my opinion then I would agree, but it is a matter of heaven or hell. That, to me is what the debate boils down to. The Bible says that someone who causes a little one to fall it would be better if a millstone were tied around their neck and they were cast into the sea.
If you draw evolution out to its ultimate end it either:
A. Denies the existence of God.
B. Denies His relevance.
C. Boils the Word of God down to a collection of alegory.
Unlike a lot of folks that share my beliefs in God and Creation, I don’t believe that faith in evolution automatically excludes you from Christianity. People are in different stages of their walk and some find the truth more slowly than others but that doesn’t mean they aren’t saved. But if you follow the (il)logic of evolution very far, it discounts faith in the God of the Bible.
This illustrates the futility of discussions such as this. One side tries to debate the issue on its scientific merits, while the other says that they're right because God is (literally) on their side.
I think my tagline is especially appropriate in this light.
