And God said...

"Oh, it's just those humans again. I'll never figure out why I decided to create them in the first place. I must have had an off day. They hardly ever listen to me. They question everything. Most don't even belive in me anymore. Now dogs, there's a success! No better creature in all My creation than a dog. Loyal, trustworthy, loving, brave - just kind of what I was hoping from humans."

How many friends

do you have?

How Many Friends Does One Person Need? Dunbar’s Number and Other Evolutionary Quirks

Are we limited in our number of stable relationships by evolution?

Perhaps that's why I have no friends. I'm an evolutionary sport, destined to have my genetic line die out at this level. It's a good thing I've never passed my genes along to anyone...

The Catholic Church

has, in modern times, been open to the idea of evolution...

Evolution can be Religion's Friend

...which is what probably helps get it labelled 'the whore of Babylon' by the fringe (and not so fringe) Christian churches. It isn't the reason, but it all adds up to bolster their argument...

Darn,

but I like Mr. Shea's thinking and writing...

Through a Veil Darkly

Interestingly, even thought the Catholic Church has always allowed for possibility of evolution, most traditional, conservative Catholics I'm met and discussed this with lean toward creationism. What is it about the conservative group?

I don't have much to say

on the Evolution vs. Intelligent Design debate...

‘Missing Link’? Not Quite, Say Catholic Scientists

There are many things I don't need to understand in this world, and many things I will never understand. It doesn't matter to me. However God chose to create human beings God chose, and I don't need to know, really. My God is bigger than our puny little minds can understand...

Thinking about it

we have evolved...





but we may have skipped some necessary steps...

Of course it doesn't

Vatican says Evolution does not prove the non-existence of God

"Evolution and the Biblical account of Genesis are "perfectly compatible" claims the Catholic Church"

That's what I've always felt...

Darwin’s theory of evolution is God’s tool for creation, says scholar

"An international conference on evolution is announced. It will examine the British naturalist’s theory from a historical and theological perspective as well. For Father Leclerc the acrimonious nature of the discussions is due to the theory’s transformation into a universal philosophy and the reaction by those who thought it was incompatible with religion."
