(October 10, 2013 at 5:54 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: By keeping Church and state separate you could say they were following Christs teaching of rendering to Caesar what is Caesars and to God what is Gods. Christianity was never intended to be some kind of a theocracy.
So all that talk about how god would crush human kingdoms and establish a rulership that would last to time indefinite so that every knee may bend etc etc was just... ???
"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."
