(April 15, 2014 at 5:41 pm)Revelation777 Wrote: Since the Tower of Babel, God is not impressed with man's accomplishments.That would be the time that god was concerned that men would reach heaven if they built a moderately tall building, at which point nothing would be impossible for them. Terrified at the thought of those dirty little humans running around in heaven, god quickly confused their languages to scatter them, then moved heaven into a metaphysical realm and replaced the dome over the Earth with an actual sky. It was god's "man behind the curtain" moment, and it shook his confidence like you wouldn't believe!
"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."
