Science, Religion:
Brad re "Creationism as Anti-Theory"

Interesting points of view in the Creationism vs. Evolution. A few points of my own as an interested reader amongst rational minds. :-)

To be fair, I am a fundamentalist Christian, and based on words in the very Bible that condemn their very natures, the Mormon religion, and the Catholic religion are not Christian religions. Why? Because both teach doctrines that are contradictory to the very Bible they claim is Holy. I don't say this to be what I call a "Cannibalistic Christian", notice that I have not condemned either Mormon people or Catholic people as I prefer to separate the misunderstanding from the one making the choice. What I state here is less of an opinion, and more of a point of fact "According to the very book they both claim is Holy."

Second part: On another point, the Bible does say that Serpents once walked... hence, hip bones, but I realize that this is not a scientific explanation so here's one. I think it is pretty obvious that micro-evolution is evident daily. With every birth of an organism, things are different. No Christian can deny that, but what about Macro evolution. Study neuroscience, or genetic science and you have to ask yourself one question. Since the first law of thermodynamics works against the upward evolutionary scale, how is it that an organism as complex as the human being can even exist.

Third part: If you use the very calculations that most macro-evolutionists use to figure out how long it takes for a change to occur and be assimilated as a dominant trate within a population it is not possible to have humans in even the billions and billions of years that we are said to evolve in. Maybe just another silly opinion, but from what I have found, it takes more faith to believe that we are an accident than that we were created with a purpose. Not that I mind if I were an accident, I could ignore my conscience and just do what I wanted for the benefit of me... but then again. Lots of people seem to have this needless trait of compassion... and I've been playing D&D for over 15 years myself so not all Fundamental Christians hate D&D. I agree that too many are a bit shallow minded. Thankfully they will not be condemned for that in the end.
