I do.
He says very clearly that whosoever causes one of these little ones to stumble, it would be better if a millstone were tied around his neck and he be cast into the depths of the sea.
Darwin has a lot to answer for.
His agnosticism, for one thing. But obviously, a man who writes that God created living things is not leading others astray.
Barbarian observes:
You've already seen the testimony of a man whose young Earth beliefs nearly wrecked his faith, and he documents others who were not so lucky. C'mon.
He was a weakminded man. 'Strong in faith' means able to resist whatever may come against that faith.
He was taught a false doctrine and that nearly wrecked his faith.
he proper attitude is:
it is YE creationism that is the great atheist-maker.
That is pure nonsense, and I think you know it.
Comes down to evidence. You lose.
Barbarian observes:
None at all. Unless you want to call things Darwin and his followers rejected as "Darwinism." As you learned, Darwin wrote that to even let the weakest humans die would be an "overwhelming evil", and Darwinists like Morgan and Punnett pointed out that the racial theories of eugenicists were as scientifically unsound as they were morally objectionable.
I believe the reason Wallace disowned the theory was because he could see exactly where it would lead.
Wallace never was a eugenist. Like Darwin, he rejected it.
Barbarian observes:
As you see, YE creationism will have much to answer for at judgement.
Not half as much as Darwin and his miserable band of destructive followers. Just look at Dawkins in our time. How many atheists has he created, or supported in their atheism?
Many scientists, both Christian and not, would laugh at that silly idea. Even an atheist like George G. Simpson wrote that the existence of God cannot be determined by science, nor can science reject the idea of God.
The problem here is that I am positive that you can see the logical consequences of evolution belief. And you are doing your level best to minimise the damage to your conscience that it inevitably causes.
Funny how people like that always think it's the other guy, um?
Damage that arises from the conflict between your catholicism and your scientific inclinations.
As you learned, most of the world's Christians, Catholics included, see no conflict between God and evolution.
Why not give evolution up? You cannot serve two masters.
You might as well ask me to give plumbing up. How silly of you.
It's O.K. to accept evolution. You can have indoor plumbing, too, if you like.
Just don't worship it. Notice there's another thread for your misconceptions about science. This one is about someone's claim that Darwin became a Christian on his deathbed. I hope so, but I suspect not.
The testimony of his family and the fact that the lady making the claim did not seem to have actually visited with Darwin, tends to cast doubt on it.
