This must be why people are posting about 'macro' and 'micro' evolution on my Facebook feed. These stupid word games that creationists come up with are infuriating. How can someone willingly mislead so many people?
Trinitarian Christians will argue they are the SAME God. Three persons (Father, Son, Spirit) that are distinct manifestations of only one, single God.It's two dudes. Both powerful. Two gods. At least.
I dont even know what cop out is supposed to mean here.Bit of a cop out tbh.
How can science proof something it can't measure or detect?
Where in the bible does it say that man came exclusively from Adam?How would that work? What previous forms were Adam or Eve? Apes? Keep in mind God created them in his own image. The bible also traces lineage from Adam.

But as for the bolded, if we knew that, im pretty sure there wouldnt be debate about how the world came to be.
Where in the bible does it say that man came exclusively from Adam?
And "god created man in his image" does not automatically mean that god waived a magic wand and poof came man.
Francis has been making all sorts of sense. He is one cool-ass Pope.

How can he make sense when he's a theist that acknowledges evolution and the creation of the universe aka the Big Bang? Like i've jokingly said before; it's like if Richard Dawkins would suddenly tell us that we're descended from God or that Adam and Eve are our ancestors.
Either he's completely lost it or he's slowly turning atheist. If the latter: good on him!
Why does science have to prove or disprove God?
Part of science job is to provide evidence for claims it makes. And there is zero scientific evidence that supports your claim. Zero
You are the one who choose to ignore the evidence , because it doesn't fit your preconceived notion of God.
Remove the preconceived notion of God and there is evidence everywhere.
You sound like an expert in catholicism, please tell us more.

Something in my previous post obviously made you annoyed, so what was it?
Powerful rebuttal
So Jesus is not in heaven sitting to the right of the father?
Didn't he pray to the father when on the cross?

Satan is kinda like a god too. Just the bad one.
On topic. The Catholic Church has been okay with this for a while.

Most religious people don't believe in creationism so this is not very surprising. Creationists are really only something you read about on GAF.
This is not new. Amongst Catholics Muslims or christians.
Maybe if your only view of religion comes from exposure to GAF threads in the subject...
Still, glad to hear the reaffirmation
No.

With that said, the Pope doesn't speak for protestants, so his words aren't going to have a major effect.
All of the charts there show a majority of people believing that humans and animals evolved over time. Unless I'm missing something it seems both of those posters you quoted were correct.
Catholics believe in a middle ground called limbo, they pray to saints, they do things completely different. It's much easier to be a Christian person than a Catholic.
Many churches want different things from people before they're saved. Catholics just want you to repent and the prayers from your loved ones can get you in.
I have not heard a single Catholic say Jesus is my savior in my entire life. It was always about Mary and the Saints. They think the saints are these demi-gods IMO. I can never understand when someone has to go to their rosary to pray. If God was real you wouldn't need to symbolize everything hand and foot. It's much easier to be a Christian. I think the rich love being Catholic because it's a decorated religion.
This is a load of horseshit.

I am referring to quotes like, "Creationists are really something you only read on GAF," or "if your only view of religion comes from exposure to GAF."
I probably should have clarified that part. That's plainly untrue. Evangelical protestants are a huge demographic in the United States, and the charts above show that they do not believe in evolution.
