Actually two - one that pollens unique to the time and date of Christ were found in the fibers
Intriguing!
Because God created the world in 7 Days, 7, 24 hour periods. The bible says so. Pretty clear that evolution can not take place in 7 days. He could have done it in millions of years but the bible says 7 days. so if you any kind of bible believing catholic or Christian, saying that God did not literally mean 7 days, is Denial of God and his power. What are we going to say next that Christ did not really mean we have to eat his flesh and drink his ? That there was no world flood? That there was no man 3 1/2 cubits tall named Goliath, that a man named samson did not really remove the Gates off the City of Gaza and walk 2 miles away to hebron. That Elijah did not really call down fire and consume everything on the alter in front of the Prophets of Baal? That Jericho’s Walls did not fall because god made them? The all the plagues of Egypt really did not happen? Science is study of GOD’S world? not what we think is going on. The bible is pretty clear as to what happened at creation, and we sin when we remove the focus off of God. Interpretation is fine, Evolution is not what the bible says, and to say so really is sinful.
Probably true. But I was getting at the nature of “coincidence”.
You’ll have to convince Pope Benedict of that. There is no prohibition on Catholics accepting biological science and its organizing principle of evolution.

Well, biological science and evolution are two different things. I presume you’re lumping them together as a sort of straw man. In which case you forgot to lump in “Belief in Jesus Christ.” That would have made an even better straw man.
Some evolutionary theories, it seems, are prohibited.
I note that you only address the snake fact and leave the genomic facts alone.hecd2:
cannot be literally true based on the fact that multiple lines of genomic data preclude the possibility of humans having descended from two sole parents and on the fact that talking snakes do not exist.Have you personally examined and interviewed every single snake that has EVER existed?
You should know that it is pretty darn hard to prove a universal negative.
Just like it is pretty darn hard to prove that there is no God anywhere in the entire universe or in those multiverses that they talk about on the History Channel on Tuesday nights.
You’re caught in a logical trap there.
But, if you had faith and it was strong enough then perhaps that lead ball would go up, not down.
I don’t know of evolutionary theories that are prohibited. Lamarckian evolution of acquired characteristics has been falsified, but not prohibited by the Church. Evolution involving Mendelian genetics is not prohibited, and in fact the neo-Darwinian synthesis has strengthened evolution.
Intriguing questions. What do you think?
Which means any scientific theory of evolution is acceptable. Science is unable to be strictly materialistic, because it can neither affirm nor deny that there are supernatural things.
Could you please share where it is in the Bible that God inflicts sufferring on the innocent?
I always get a kick out of this statement, no matter how it’s phrased. “If you eat eggs cooked in a microwave, you benefit from evolutionary science!!!”
That was a remarkable story – thanks for posting it (I want to see the DVD sometime). Science determined that it was “humanly impossible” for a man to do what he did. Investigating further, the man prayed to Bl. Mother Maria Petkovic, saw a vision of light, and was filled with a “supernatural force”.
Certainly:
It cannot be assumed that babies are innocent. When you go to a surgeon to cut off your gangrenous leg, do you want him to remove all of the disease or just some of it? When removing evil do we want all of it removed or just some?
Are you Christian?
Ah, those evil babies. No doubt guilty of rape, murder, extortion and arson. God can’t be too careful, you know!
