Question: How can the person who posted this:

the Evols who post here are uniformly and unanimously in the Materialist Atheist camp,

possibly add:

Your interpretation is completely unnecessary. The Magisterium is intended to, and does, speak for itself more than adequately. It's laughable that you would presume to "explain" things to me but I do believe in free speech, however inane.

Not all evols (or in f.Christian's delightful coinage, fossil thumpers), are in the "Materialist Atheist" camp. Ditto the evols who post here. It's ridiculous to assert otherwise, but you appear to do so. Why?

Right Wing Professor intended to allow the impression that the Pope and the Catholic Church were in accord with the "theory" of Evolution (see his post), as have other Evol posters in recent months. The Church is not and it is thus a lie, Gumlegs, pure and simple.

You appear to intend to allow the impression that the Pope rejects all theories of evolution no matter how formulated. That's simply false. The Church does accept the theory of evolution, just not certain versions of it. It also rejects any interpretation that would be used to ... but you say you don't need my help on the issue, so I'll drop it with the note that the theory of evolution is taught as a valid scientific theory in Catholic schools up to and including the University level.

Be careful about the casual use of the term, "lie." You wouldn't want to appear to be gorey.

The Bible says..."the whole world would be deceived---the very elect(God won't allow it)---if it were possible"!

Religion was practicing 'evolution' long before Darwin...ever hear of Martin Luther---the reformation?

Yes, I exaggerated to make a point. However, those who maintain they believe in both Evolution and God do not subscribe to the Evolution of Dawkins or Gould, that is, mainstream Evolution, which is both Atheistic and Materialistic. Some apparently delude themselves that Christianity is reconcileable with the Evolution of Dawkins and Gould. It's not. And that's why the Evols exhibit such delight in bashing "Creationists", which, incidentally, has nothing whatever to do with science.

You appear to intend to allow the impression ...

There you go again, Gumlegs. You have the irritating habit of putting words into peoples mouths, then arguing your case, even while looking the words themselves straight in the face. My words require no interpretation. Please break this very bad habit.

Be careful about the casual use of the term, "lie."

A lie is a lie, Gumlegs, and I am not casual about lies or liars. You also have the irritating habit of giving unbidden and unnecessary guidance. Kindly direct it elsewhere. Your subsequent posts will be ignored.
