Here you go talking out of both sides of your mouth .. you've been condemning Augustine as a plagiarist, now he was a reasonable man.

Augustine used the metaphor of dormant seeds to develope into a tree. . God creates seeds, which will grow and develop at the right time. Augustine asks you to think of the created order as containing divinely embedded causalities that emerge or evolve at a later stage.

IOW he was a creationist ("God creates seeds") who said God was responsible for what we see in the world. I agree that's a reasonable view. You should stop insanely attacking people for holding such reasonable views.



Your clarion call that "Darwinism" is a religion is true, in the sense it was proposed by one of the early influential deep thinking theologians.

In no way was Darwinism (which you just revealed you know nothing about) proposed by Augustine.
