I've been thinking about this a while...Dr. Byl:<br />I've been thinking about this a while. Here's my thoughts:<br /><br />One might also ask whether Christianity is compatible with evolution. Now if we ask it that way, then all debate ceases. We do not need to ask the evolutionist, because they have written God off altogether in their speculations about how all things came to be. We need not ask Christians, because they believe that God created all things, not that all things evolved from lower beings, or that life sprang from non-life. <br /><br />The ones to ask are theistic evolutionists. They are the ones offering us a mixture of evolution and Christianity. But they, one and all, always argue that Christianity is not what we think it is. Our forebears in the faith believed based on myths, not miracles. The flood did not happen; the sun did not stand still for Joshua. People believed the stories for the theology it taught, not because they had seen other wondrous and mighty acts of God. <br /><br />When they're done reconciling Christianity with evolution it no longer is the Christianity which our forebears would recognize. Every time. The Christianity that they have when they're done reconciling is no longer the Christianity that has been maintained by the Holy Spirit, but rather is one that is being foisted on this generation by "wooden literalists". <br /><br />Nor is the history of Christianity something that our history books can recognize: they have to change that too in order to make it fit. <br /><br />And so they too agree: Christianity proper cannot be reconciled to evolution. <br /><br />It's unanimous! <br /><br />JohnVJohnVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00330406643601471203noreply@blogger.com
