Subject: RE: BS: The Pope in America
Aw, Greg, you're too cynical. My copy of Idiot America arrived this week. I intend to read it over the next coupla weeks, so have patience.
On overview, it does seem to be a bit too cynical for my tastes. Kinda like my teenage kids who thought everybody else was stupid.
Steve Shaw didn't ask me, but here's his question and my answer:
Q: Do you think that there is a God, a supernatural being, who created everything?
A: Yes, I believe that there is a God, a supernatural being, who created everything through the wonderful, natural process called "evolution."
If God created/creates everything, including natural processes, why shouldn't the origins of things come through those same natural processes? If natural processes are part of God's creation, why would God circumvent those processes? That being the case, isn't evolution a wonderful thing?
