Quote: OK. What I've never understood is why people can't believe in both. Why can't an intelligent being have put into motion micro- and macroevolutionary processes? Does a Creationist viewpoint automatically deem invalid an Evolutionary Theory viewpoint?
An intellegent being, God, COULD have put into motion the evolutionary processes, I just don't believe He did.
Quote: I have seen some hardcore Christians argue that the Bible's Genesis Story is complete and accurate. If it's not spelled out in those passages, it didn't happen. Like dinosaurs. They're not mentioned, so they never happened. Fossil evidence is just argued for by humans who want to denounced and deny God. Or the Noah story, that Noah IN FACT took two of every species of animal onto the Arc.
Not to correct Wednesday, but the term is Wooden-Literalist. I am what would be called a literallist meaning that instead of taking the Bible to an extreme literal point as you mentioned. I view it as any liturature in that there are historical narritives poetic narratives, didactic narratives, even fictional stories, like the parrables of Jesus, but I attemt not to confuse them for one an other. So a wooden literalist would say that there weere no Dinasaurs because the Bible doesn't mention them, I would say that there's no reason to deny the evidence that they clearly existed and be perfectly happy, because the scriptures don't rule them out.
Putting the "fun" back in Fundamentalist Christian Dogma.
