(February 10, 2014 at 10:23 am)Sword of Christ Wrote: Well the revelation of God was through a chosen people who were living in real history and this took place over a lengthy period of time, so what else would you expect?I would expect it to sound like the revelation of a supreme and purposeful intelligence, and not the cobbled-together fables of ancient people that require lots of guesswork and "interpretation" to make it even remotely coherent.
"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."
