(December 30, 2016 at 4:12 pm)Mister Agenda Wrote: If you want to believe the Bible is the word of God, but not a science book, making the first human out of dust is not a bad metaphor for evolving from single-celled organisms.

...making the second one out of a human rib, on the other hand, has some humorous metaphorical application but little else.

"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."

-Stephen Jay Gould
