The Problem of Imperfect Revelation: Your Thoughts?
#49
RE: The Problem of Imperfect Revelation: Your Thoughts?
"Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth."

Or as Robin would say, "holy hand jobs, Batman!"
"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
