RE: [asa] Random and design

It is best to say that the truth does not evolve but it is our
understanding of it that does.

Correct me if I'm wrong Pim, but your own biblical philosophy seems to
profess that 'everything evolves,' and thus draws no logical limit
around the process philosophy of evolution. Kataphatic and apophatic
theology aside, the notion of intra-specific competition and struggle
for life/existence would seem to suggest an 'expect the worst' strategy
also. Wouldn't it?

consequently take anyone seriously. Even your statement that many people
'mean well' seem to end up undermine your own position.

        I believe that the Bible offers much better philosophies than
this.

        Thanks for the link Janice, it's a good (though a bit critical)
summary.

        
        @ Yes, it was a bit critical, but I thought it was fair. Many
people, including professing Christians, "mean well", but I subscribe to
the axiom, "Caveat Emptor". Scriptures teach the total depravity of
man, therefore we can hope for the best -- but expect the worst from
each other and from the social institutions and "movements", etc. humans
devise.
