that pabsta believes every bullshit argument going yet is unreasonably resistent to well evidenced positions?

Why, yes of course it is. Side splittingly funny.

You do realise that for most of earth's history the composition of the air was much different than it is today. That it is only because of life and different forms evolving that we now have the atmosphere at its current, very artificial and unbalanced, level?

Blows a hole in your argument bigger than the one that sunk the Titanic, idiot.

BZZZZZ.
Nope.
Earth, at various points in its history would have been mistaken for Mustafar or Hoth.

If evolution is God ordained, seems like a 'heads up' on the topic might have found it's way into Scripture.

CL's understanding is right in line with Catholic doctrine.

But not necessarily God's . . . .

Welcome to spaceship earth!
It's been hanging there for billions of years, lookung very fragile, completely open and exposed to space being clobbered by meteorites and solar radiation and stuff, yet its human, plant, animal and fish life goes on reproducing itself for generation after generation.
Will it still be there a billion years from now?
The bible seems to say perhaps not...
"The time has come for judging the dead.. and for destroying those who destroy the earth" (Revelation 11:18 )

The earth will still be around in a billion years, but we won't be able to live on it, unless we've used massive geoengineering to keep it habitable.

Then I guess we'll have to add that to gods growing list of fuckups.  Things haven't even gone well, let alone "perfectly".

It's not.  Catholic doctrine maintains, infallibly; that human beings are created, that there was a literal Adam and Eve, and that we are all their descendants.  That the church is "okay" with evolution is a rhetorical flourish that has catholics and atheists alike more than a little bit confused.  They're not okay with it at all, but saying so without explicitly listing the caveat gets them a pass on scrutiny.....not the least of which, the growing incredulity of their own flock.

The RCC, like every other creatard organization, doesn't mean evoution, when they say "evolution". Nor does CL, she doesn;t accept evolution, she's an IDer. I suppose it's a way of negotiating to the middle between what the RCC demands of the faithful and what the faithful can bring themselves to swallow.

/ shrugs.

Isn't it funny how theists like this never seem to be interested in convincing anyone? Instead of mowing their own lawn to make it look nicer, they shit all over their neighbors' to call it even.

You gave me a good chuckle, at least. I'm not angry as you claim. I'm rolling in laughter at your frustrations. Try again.

I guess I just have a hard time taking it seriously when you say things like that, and fail to acknowledge all of the horrible implications of the aforementioned 'perfect design' that went horribly wrong in more ways than we can count. I would understand if you believed in a creator/designer god out of fear but absolutely cannot understand that you could possibly love or worship it.

I'm not saying we are perfect or that nature is perfect. We as Christians are the first to say this is a flawed world. What I meant is that everything lined up perfectly in order for intelligent life to be possible here.

By "perfectly" you must mean "good enough, barely, for now"..............................? The way that christers use words -is- funny.
