When will we stop getting half the story from the Religious Right?

---- After a while, it becomes annoying to a Christian as myself to watch other Christians distort evidence to support their own, unsubstantiated beliefs.
---- First off, no science discounts God. There simply is no PROOF one way or the other. Myself? I choose by FAITH to believe in "Him".
---- Second, though it is true there is evidence Darwin was senile before he passed away, there is none that he discounted evolution. [Another Old Wives Tale. Sigh.]
---- As for the first law of thermodynamics, it is true science cannot say how the universe began. The reason being is because they have not yet found a thing called 'evidence'. Subsequently - such as the question of there being life on other planets - that question at present remains a mystery.
---- Speaking of which, Piltdown Man - not Peking Man - WAS exposed due to evidencial inconsistencies. Why? Because after it was studied, scientists found it to be a fraud. Not so with several other fossilized remains, however, such as those of the hominid Australopithecine line nor those of Homo Habilis and Homo Erectus [not to mention the now-extinct line of Homo Neanderthalensis.]
---- Of course it is well known that the first Peking Man skull mysteriously disappeared in 1941 after being sent to the USA from China. Other fossilized skulls of this earlier humanoid species have surfaced since fortunately. [You know fossils don't exactly grow on trees.]
---- With regard to the second law of thermodynamics - to wit: that a system eventually declines and therefore cannot become more complex, hence no evolution is possible because organisms cannot become more complex - this would be true when there could be no more input of energy into a given system. But, alas, this beautiful Earth of ours does not fall into that category thanks to the constant influence of Sol [a.k.a. the energy from the sun].
---- I could go on that the DNA of such primate cousins of ours [such as the chimpanzee] is 90+% similar but why bother?
---- After all, today some believe that God favors war for some of us Christians while Allah [same entity, different name] does the same for certain Islamic groups.
---- Yet, both Muhammed and Jesus preached peace so go figure.
---- Anyway - just so you know - the universe has been measured at being   
about 15 billion years old because that is how far the most distant galaxies and quasars have been detected at the speed of light so - sorry - that [and that we can measure the age of our planet via various types of rock testing] kiss the claim that the universe and the Earth are only a few thousand years old bye-bye.
---- By the way, if you want to read more on the subject, be sure to pick up a copy of my critically-acclaimed THE FINAL PHASE. [If nothing else, it shows why loving God above all else and one another is NOT an option. Or - to learn more - be sure to look up a thing Christ referred to as our inevitable 're-creation', assuming we're ever able to follow what Jesus called the two most important 'commandments', that is.]

Well said.

I wish that people would getthe message that the Bible is a work of theology -- neither science nor [strickly speaking] history -- it relects upon and reflects a people's long, and evolving, relationship with "God".

Thanksfor your insight

Yes my image of God is that he is loving. Some people use whatever they chose to explain themselves. I chose to believe the way I do because that is what faith is all about. In that we chose to believe as we do. It takes years of study of the bible to understand but I rid myself of stumbling blocks and encourage those to keep practicing their faith.
