Evolution vs. Jesus

[Mudhammam]

There's only one way it can work, a literal reading of scripture. It falls apart outside of that.

Hence, science disputes Christianity?

Nah...they're just dumbfucks, as usual.

The account of the fall in Genesis 3 uses figurative language, but affirms a primeval event, a deed that took place at the beginning of the history of man.264 Revelation gives us the certainty of faith that the whole of human history is marked by the original fault freely committed by our first parents.

Are you sure they're really that dumb? I think they're knowingly acting as con artists for the most part. I think the pope knows full well that he has no connection to a god and that he's taking people for a ride.

So you all are going to pretend I have not been kicking you teeth in on this very topic in the Christianity sub forum??

Good one, Drich. To use your favorite irritating response:

Kicking... in the... teeth...

So for a long time, the holy see has declared evolution to be compatible with catholic doctrine, right? Although they reserve the right to have it somehow God guided and with souls etc., certain aspects of the doctrine are severely constrained by that. First and foremost, since the purpose of Jesus depends on original sin and hence on Adam and Eve as first couple, this central piece of dogma is completely at odds with evolution. Does anyone know how they officially reconcile that?

Contradiction with acknowledged reality only presents a problem if one has scruples and feel uncomfortable with ad hoc explanations.

Any guidance given to evolution might have been divine, but was appearently not inspired enough to give self-important monkey's in funny hats scruples and discomfort with ad hoc explanations.

That you actually think you are kicking anyone (other than yourself) in the teeth in that thread speaks volumes about your delusional thinking and self-image.

One nonsensical post from one unevolved monkey managed to draw the time and efforts from 4 evolved monkeys to respond that could better be spent doing, well, anything else.

This along with widespread propensity of evolved monkeys to talk to other uncomprehending animals as well suggests that no, evolution is not guided, at least not by anything with a brain.

So can you tell me how the catlicks do it?

There are several things the Catholic church believe that doesn't make sense, how they reconcile that belief with the scriptures is beyond me. You would have to ask some official in the church to explain it to you. I on the other hand will stay with a literal reading, because it makes complete sense.
