(Chuckle) Love It When A Preacher Packs It In!
|
I thought this was going to be about a gay preacher.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
 
Looks like Liberty University is aptly named.
"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."

Matt Dillahaunty from Atheist experience was a pastor too, and studied to become a minister after he read a passage in the bible that says you should be able to back up your beliefs. I forget the verse he quoted, but it led to him becoming an atheist.
Some people have said that the best path to atheism is sometimes a honest reading of the bible. Looking up the history of the bible and other religions doesn't hurt either. Nobody will ever tell you in sunday school that Mithras from hinduism had an almost identical life to Jesus. |
