Ephesians 5:22-24 Wrote:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.Submission to Christ is not voluntary for his followers, nor is recognition of his headship of the Church. The use of the word "voluntary" is an attempt to soften the message and make it seem less offensive. It's not easy to peddle this kind of directive in societies that are trying to improve the way women are perceived and treated, so they look for ways to make it sound more palatable.
"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."
