Landan, I don’t know who “Follower” is, but I didn’t write those mails!

It is amazing when you read something that you could have wrote yourself.

I find man’s arrogance that he has the ability to see “Truth” as laughable. It assumes that we have the ability to think like God thinks and to find out what He knows.

It denies the possibility that our perspective is limited.

It assumes that we have the right to demand of a God an account of the mysteries in this world and that He is obligated to provide them.

“I know what is True” is a fallacy every bit as the “can God create a stone bigger than He can lift.”

It presupposes that you know everything to know about something — including knowing what you don’t know.

I kind of waver between these 2 sides. I just don’t think that the debate of evolution should be thta much of a hindrance to the belief in Christianity, that’s all.

If you are happy with what you believe and don’t have any curiosity in exploring the ideas of those who say that what you believe is wrong, then I urge you to go live out what you believe.

I personally have a need to explore these issues, so that’s why I’m writing on these topics.

I know 2 things about humanity, for a fact:

1) We’ve done horrible things against our fellow man. Every man has.

2) We have the potential to be better than our base nature.

These two facts about human nature urge me to believe in love, which urges me to believe in God. I don’t care whether or not the fall is metaphorical or literal, or much less whether the miracles of the Bible are literal or metaphorical, or even both.

What I care about, is that I believe God created me, and I believe that he offers me a way to salvation through my base nature of worshiping him.

While I’m on this planet, I’m going to spend my time loving humanity and loving God. I don’t believe evolution or the lack there of will have any impact on how I want to spend my life.

It would be interesting to find out the truth, though.
