Obama: ‘Let the Purge of the Intellectuals Begin!’

I could not agree more , it is time the people took teaching their children into their own hands , if we don't teach them then the secularist will . I can not accept that I was a product of a smash up of a primordial soup, so where is that soups today did it disappear with the first created being out of it ? Non sense is nonsense and evolution is non sense .

It's too bad that Christians never studied biology or chemistry in high school or university. If they had, they would have at least a basic idea of what evolution even means. Judging by the comments above some of these people have obviously received very poor educations and are trying to make up for it by using the "you just gotta have faith" argument. And I don't care how many degrees someone has. That in itself is no gauge of how educated a person is. Perhaps, taking a page from some eastern philosophies, "enlightened" is a better word to use than educated. Or maybe even "evolved" is a better term.

Interesting to see this debate turn to questions re. consciousness and conditioning –dogmatic ideologies have had their day. The root meaning of the word "bishop" is "financial controller" according to Prof. Jean Markale at the Sorbonne.

We have the technological power, the engineering skills to save our habitat from the dire impacts of our mismanagement, to cure disease, to feed the hungry, to end war; But we lack the intellectual vision, or the ability to "change our minds" –to analyze the integrity of the source of our information re. our place in the universe.

Who said that creationalism and evolution were mutually exclusive of one another?  God may have used an evolutionary process to bring everything together.  He may even have pulled some molecules together and banged creation into existence.  The Bible does not, to my knowledge, offer the step-by-step process He used.  It only states quite plainly and honestly, "In the beginning, God . . ."  I see and understand that the earth and everything else in the universe prove intelligent design.  All evolutionists can really offer to the conversation are possible theories regarding the methodology that God used to get the job done.

One thing the Bible does make clear is that He made each species of living creatures separate, meaning one lifeform did not derive from another.  I know I never saw it happen. And if you ever see a tadpole turn into a man, don't worry.  I will advocate for you to get help. 

Blessings!
