>>>>>Heavens, even the Pope is coming around to the notion that maybe God worked his magic through evolution.<<<<<

From Teilhard de Chardin, Catholic theologian. So God created an evolving universe. So what? Seems sorta self-evident to me.

Know what stumps me? What was there before the Universe came into existence/was created?

If you believe in God, where did God come from?

If you don't believe in God, where did the Universe come from?

E,
Perhaps it's better to say we are disappointed in the virtue of people in general instead of picking on one group. People in general are not virtuous and that carries over into the group of people who claim to be christians, all are not though.

My wife also thinks I'm unresponsive at times. <ggg> Especially when I'm on this 'puter instead of interacting with the family. Some of my problem is time. I'd like to answer some things Del posted but don't have the time to do the research first. Then time passes. Would you mind saying again what it is you want to know?

I was taught evolution. It was obvious the assumption is that we were not created by God but evolved purely by chance. It's preposterous that you won't admit that much. Evolution by definition is an atheist view because the student is encouraged to believe that God does not exist. It's implied in capital letters without it actually being said.

Bob

Oh--just read your post and you had already said everything I said. I just got excited and answered too fast before reading further.
Having lived in both camps, I really don't think I have bitterness about either --and I tend to sit at times uncomfortably in the middle, feeling nastily gray in color. On the other hand, the ground looks extremely hard on both sides, and I'm not ready to jump either way.
