"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Some hours ago I got a PM from user Prycejosh1987, titled "Bible contradiction?" that says:
Quote:Hi Im Joshua i read and study the bible. I dont think you understand the bible. You read verses and dont understand a thing. The bible says only the holy spirit can help you fully understand the word of god. Its true. Its possible that everything happened. For example if i say im older than 30 and then in another passage say i am younger than 40 it isnt contradiction as both statements are true. That is simplifying understanding text and relating it to me.
Is this a spam?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Feel free to block him.
Unless more people start receiving the same sort of nonsense, I don’t think it will count as spam.

"You read verses and dont understand a thing."
Yeah, and everybody interprets the Bible to mean what suits them.
He's just a crusader.

"Only the holy spirit can make you understand "?
Ohhhhh
That mystery is explained.
"Holy Spirit" = overinflated superego.

Sounds more like love. Keep your back to the wall.

Good call. There is a rule against posting the private correspondence with another member.
