Subject: Re: re: Young earth creationism - expiry date - ?
You are right, I have to make the precision.
I was talking about Christians people you can meet in Europe :
Roman
Catholics, Protestants, Anglicans, Orthodox catholics...
Dear Loic,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm under the impression that French
Catholics aren't all that religious period and the same thing is true
for most Europeans. That's not true in America. About a third of our
population will be in church every Sunday compared to maybe 4% of the
population of Europe. Here in Mississippi nearly everyone goes to
church, often two or three times a week.
----------------------------------------------------
absolutly right!
here in France most of the people have received a catholic education, and
even if they declare to be catholic (53% of the french population in 2000)
they are a few going to church on sunday (12% of the french population).
On an other hand, I have some catholic friends in Spain, following the "Opus
Dei", and they go to church 2 or 3 times per day!...
----------------------------------------------------
Anyway I don't know anything about these "Young earth creationism"
believers. Are they one of these evangelicals?
Yes, virtually all creationists are evangelicals, but they are divided
amongst themselves as to how literally they should take what is
thought to be the Biblical chronology of creation
-----------------------------------------------------
Thank you for these explanations.
I have heard about these evangelical religions, they look to be more
efficient than us in terms of number of conversions! ;-)
I suppose it's a better thing that people believe and pray in the
evangelical churches, than if nobody cares about God.
but I also think that the religions are growing-up thanks to the misery,
financial and spiritual misery, of people.
By promoting the education for all and a better sharing of ressources, the
Baha'i Faith should make a better world, even if this world calls itself
"evangelical"!
-------------------------------------------------------
(In all cases, what is the difference if humanity has been created
6000 or 1
million years ago?!)
It is all a question of the inerrancy of scripture.
-----------------------------------------------
I do believe in the inerrancy of holy wrintings.
the question is the human selection, translation, understanding, of these
writings.
What about if "1 day" of the Genese is "1 million years" of the human
being?!
------------------------------------------------
warmest, Susan
