What in the hell do you think I have been talking about? You are so far off course here, as to be just plain silly. I am not a "big banger" nor do I believe that a lung fish is ancient family. In fact, I am with the growing opinion that there has not been enough time for evolution to have worked it's wonders. That doesn't mean evolution at some level does not exist. But, now, it is I who digresses.
My point? If the church had not surrendered its college age young people to the Unisersity system, we would not need this discussion. The church is not in the High School and our senior class has yet to convert to atheistic evolutionism.......proving that WE DON'T NEED TO BE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM IF WE ARE DOING OUR JOB -- AS A CHURCH OF CHRIST IN MINISTRY TO THE WORLD ----------- and I am not just talking about "preaching to the lost." Christ actually spent very little of His time preaching. Most of His day was spent in the offering of benevolent blessings to others.

Why advocate teaching what you don't know JD? As has already been noted "Only when we proveevolution do we need to concern ourselves with "harmonizing" evolutionism with theism. Evidence thatthis level of proof has not been achieved includes the long list of scientists and others who have abandonedDarwinism because they became convinced that the scientific evidence DOES NOT support it. So whywould you want to warp young minds with useless information that is not proven? judyt[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:I'm talking about fundy creationist versions in the school systems and you are talking about religious people!!! AmazingMaybe we should install a different creationist version for every major school system .................... I am sure we can find enough fundy ideas to go around. That way , you would have to worry about consensus and no one will have the slightest idea what to believe. but you and Kev will be happy. CONSENSUS BE DAMNED.

I surmised as much JD; my point being that religious ppl have manyand varied points of view about anything and everything and this is nomeasure by which to gauge what is needful or true.On Wed, 22 Mar 2006 20:20:02 +0000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:Do you even know what this thread is about, Judy?WHICH VIEW OF CREATIONISM GETS INTO THE CIRRICULUM -- HUH ???

So?There isn't a single view of the whole church that is agreed uponby the whole church either. What does that prove? judytOn Wed, 22 Mar 2006 01:27:56 +0000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:Perhaps the Bishop has the same concerns I do.

It is the liberal loonies like this Archbishop of Canterbury who are doing this.David Miller
