Many scientists are also Christians.

I'm just wondering how sin can not exist in heaven without free will being stifled. If it's possible for God to retain free will while preventing sin and suffering why, do you think, he didn't do it on Earth? :confused: :scratch:

I'd really appreciate it if you'd stop tainting the image of Christians with your disingenuous ways. How can you expect anyone to be open minded about Christianity when you act the way you do?

Yes. Memes can influence genes.

It already is to an extent. Many people who would've otherwise died out are now able to go on and have kids. There are also social factors such as welfare. -Whereas in the past, a person without a job would be likely to starve to death, nowadays they're sustained on welfare. One thing is for...

Another important factor apart from mate selection, is simply who chooses to have children. Studies have shown that people in the developed world are having fewer children and more people are choosing to have no children. People in the developing world, on the other hand, still have many children.

Maybe the 6 days are metaphorical.

My question was about the numbers of Christians that accept as opposed to reject evolution. It wasn't about "creationists' vs 'evolutionary scientists.' BTW Creationism and evolution aren't mutually exclusive. [B] I think you'll find you're mistaken here. Scientists base their...

Wow, this thread has gone very off topic. :) Shimon, does your religion accept any parts of the new testament? Does it have any written account of Jesus?

Ahh okay. So you're Jewish? What do you consider to be a "misuse" of God's name?

Why do you write God as "G-d"? :confused: :scratch:

Genesis 3: 19 By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return. 22 And the Lord God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed...

Back on topic. I'm lead to believe that Catholic's accept evolution, does anyone know the portion of Christians they make up? Are their any protestant churches that have officially recognised evolution?

I see your point. Although some people believe that real chaos can actually happen (chaos theory). As far as I know, we haven't verified that chaos actually exists, just that certain things can be so extremely complex as to be impossible to predict the outcomes. But that's not surprising. If we...

I suppose you could answer that by saying it was referring to "the beginning" in a general sense of an early time before the history of human societies.

Can you explain further how it is? I don't understand.
