Re: I'd like a better understanding of the debate



Hi, Gordon.

Thank you, too, for aswering.

What you write is very interesting, and I have some question about it.
You write that "Many creationists believe evolution is anti-God", but
I'm not sure to understand exactly what you mean.
Did they think ToE is "anti-God" because states that men came from
apes? Or there is something more?
Sometimes I read things like "Darwing teach that the strongest survive
and the weakest deserve to perish, and this is against God will and
Christian charity".
Let me give another example: Bible (in the creationist interpretation)
states that Earth is 6000 to 10000 years old, while geology states a
4.5 billions years old age.
But, as far as I know, noone has tried to pass a law forbidding geology
teaching, or mandating the teaching of the 6000 years old argument.
So there must be something really special about ToE.
What is?


Thank you, Diego
