The Problem with Christians

[abaris]

But putting that aside, why is it the case the one's notion of God is at odds with evolution? Mine isn't. The Catholic Church's isn't. You must have some bible-thumping, fundamentalist caricature in mind...

I know it isn't. I grew up a catholic. But it's still trying to sqare a circle for any scripted god. On the most basic level, compare the time dinosaurs roamed the earth with our short existence. Two, maybe three millions of years, there has been something that can be called humanoid. Homo sapiens sapiens is much younger.

The dinosaurs died out some 65 million of years before. They lived for about, give or take, 180 million years. So how does any humanocentric deity make any kind of remote sense? It doesn't. Any god caring for a supposed creation doesn't.
