You mentioned earlier the verses 20-25. Verse 24 tells us that Joseph "took Mary home as his wife." Is there anything in the Bible that indicates that couples were to be wed in the temple, or that this custom was followed in Jesus' time?
"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."
