[QUOTE="TJ Cornish, post: 65856, member: 162"] Re: You're welcome. As far as I am aware, smaller "evolutionary" changes or adaptations are not disputed. I am unaware of macro evolution being directly observed. It is extrapolated from micro evolution, and may even be a logical followon, but the proof of this is the crux of the issue. Smarter people than I am have done the work on both sides of this debate - I will defer the apologetics to those more qualified. The Catholic church got in trouble by expanding on what the Bible said (or didn't say). The fact that they were disproven doesn't discredit the Bible - which never claimed a flat earth or the earth being the center of the universe), but rather that particular group's interpretation of it. There have been other individuals and groups who have made similar errors in more recent times, I'm sure. An interesting verse: Job 26:7 "He spreads out the northern skies over empty space; he suspends the earth over nothing." It took science a few years after that was written to figure out that the earth is suspended on nothing, but yet retains its place in the solar system. In my personal life, I have found the Bible to be trustworthy, and archaeology continues to prove many details out. Science has yet to provide that piece of evidence to prove Christianity, the Bible, God, etc. false once and for all. It's possible that may happen, but I would argue the opposite is going on. If people think I'm an idiot for believing this, I can live with that. I was hoping that if people think I'm an idiot on SFN, it would be because of some sound-related issue. [/QUOTE]
