''Who'' has advanced this argument? What is it supposed to prove? Just that the claims of Genesis are wrong, or something deeper than that? Evolution certainly has, historically, undermined belief in God. What I want to see is evidence that it was ''specifically used'' in the way that this page implies. We shouldn't be making stuff up; we should be reporting how important scientists, theologians, and philosophers actually have argued. --[[LMS]] |
