If the item can spoil, it has previously been contaminated by the information of life. If the information of life cannot access the material it will never become alive.

Therefore athiest's are stuck with Alien's from parallel universes that are older than ours, seeding our planet. So atheist's really believe in the God of the Aliens.

Sounds like the deciever to me.

If one believe's in the God of the Bible and evolution, you are forced to believe the Bible is poopycock, therefore His biography and standards are subjective at best.

Chief Justice Moore is fighting a losing battle, fore the Ten Commandments hold no authority if evolution is true.

Come on Bondserv, even you know better then that.

Understanding evolution does NOT make the bible poppycock, it makes the bible nonliteral. You have to look for the message within the stories.

Yes, it is a bit tougher that way, and yes, the story itself gets a bit more complicated when you don't take it literally, but the fact is, genesis not taken literally does NOTHING to the basic tenets of the christian religion, not taking genesis literally does NOT effect the Jewish religion either, nor it's basic tenets.

I know hundreds of christians, and NONE of them have found their faith weakend by not taking genesis literally.

I find the whole idea that if you are a christian and do not take the bible literally that you are not a true Christian offensive, and actually rather ridiculous.

Some of the most christian like conduct I find from nonliteralist christians, most of the literalist christians I have talked to and met, are some of the most arrogant people that I have ever met.

There is one on this thread proving that to me each time he posts.

Arrogance in the fact that somehow taking the bible literally somehow makes them right and everyone else wrong, taking the bible literally somehow disproves science and all the answers that it has found, etc, etc.

That is arrogance, to think that somehow taking the bible literally gives you all the answers, when in fact all it does is make you quit asking questions. Except to disprove science somehow, because you can't have those questions lying around, it might put your faith in jeopardy.

This is NOT an attack and please do not take it as such, it is my personal opinion based on my experiences.

Enough of the golf-isms! Joking aside, I'm unclear as to how an Alabama judge's money-wasting desire (in a state with a huge budget mess) to keep fighting for a marble slab with some decent moral codes on it (as well as some decidedly non-secular ones as well) has the slightest thing to do with a biological theory that does a darn good job at explaining the diversity of life on planet earth. IIRC, killing, stealing, lying, not adultering, and being good to one's parents were generally accepted "laws" before Moses' time.
