[_ Old Earth _] Evolutionists Please Explain

[Catholic Crusader]

The bible should be taken literally.

So, in 2 Samuel 22:11, when he says "He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind", are we to assume the cherubim, who are angels, actually "fly", and are we to believe that air molecules have wings? There is a difference between truth as put forrth in the ancient semitic style, and scientific facts.

It sounds like you're faith is in science which comprises people who believe what they can see, not what is unseen. The bible tells us to fix our minds on what is unseen, not what's seen. Scientists live in the secular world run by Satan. Christians live on faith from God.

CCC 159 - Faith and science:

"Though faith is above reason, there can never be any real discrepancy between faith and reason. Since the same God who reveals mysteries and infuses faith has bestowed the light of reason on the human mind, God cannot deny himself, nor can truth ever contradict truth." "Consequently, methodical research in all branches of knowledge, provided it is carried out in a truly scientific manner and does not override moral laws, can never conflict with the faith, because the things of the world and the things of faith derive from the same God. The humble and persevering investigator of the secrets of nature is being led, as it were, by the hand of God in spite of himself, for it is God, the conserver of all things, who made them what they are."

I can't see unicorns. BUT I'LL BE DAMNED IF I CAN KEEP MY MIND OFF THOSE LOVABLE CREATURES!

But if you were riding Jesus, when does Jesus get to ride his trademark raptor?

Raptors don't exist! During the flood, water distorted certain bird bones as they soaked up water and got larger. Stop believing in fairy tales Dunzo.

If there is anything worse than bad science, its fundies who read the Bible in a ridiculous literalist fashion that make the rest of us look like morons.

That statement is so sophmoric I can't believe you had the nerve to post it. Or was it meant to be a joke?

Stop denying Jesus. I've turned to the truth. Heidi has shown me the light!

The devil made us think that raptors exist, but then the bible flew in on wings of angels and smacked that thought out of my head like I would a disobedient stepchild.

Actually, the bible is right regardless of what Catholic Crusader or anyone says. Unfortunately, most people will have to wait until their deathbed to find that out. :wink:

Heidi drinks from the spring of science, and then she curses it everyday.
