Wasn't sure where to put this, I suppose it's a life issue? Anyway, I know the Church allows for belief in this, though I don't perscribe to it. What are your thoughts on the subject, on this clip?

I'm with you, Mark. Macroevolution, as said in the video, the process of "survival of the fittest," would seem to go against God's very nature. Death and violence and pain don't make sense to me as being part of God's created order.
If my God can raise the dead, turn water into wine, and wine into His very Body and Blood, He can certainly make me and you from the dust of the earth, whole and complete and, at the beginning, 'very good.'
At least that's what I choose to believe.
And I guess that's where it's left: We can believe what we choose to believe about how it all came to be and still be considered good Catholics. Other than God, who knows the answer?
Has anyone seen the movie that just came out yesterday: "Expelled"?? We're going to see it ASAP!
Jill

Microevolution - evolution within a species is perfectly biblical. Look at dogs. Breed a poodle and a schnauzer and you get a schnoodle. Two completely different dogs still create a dog, not a cat. It's the macroevolution that's not biblical and without evidence. And that's what's so sinful about trying to mix dna in species unrelated. It's not right and who knows what kinds of monsters it could create IF it can create at all.
My hubby has read up on this subject and I learned a lot from him.
I remember in college on the first day of Biology 101, my teacher's first words to us were, "Did you know that you're losing your little toe?"
lol I guess he subscribes to macro, eh?
Jill, hubby and I both want to see that film asap, too!

| So what will you get if you breed a Baptist and a Catholic?

Hmmmm, well they'd be of the same kind (Christian), but they'd look very different and "bark" very differently.
Howzat?
