The funniest part about that Bible text is that the unforgivable sin takes the form of the pharisees claiming that Jesus was performing miracles via the power of the devil, and not the holy spirit. In other words, the unforgivable sin is when you say "devildidit."
"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."
