Evolution and Christianity
In view of the fact of the pope's announcement and the beliefs of compromisers that evolution is compatible with Christianity, I have developed the following response.
Accepting evolution into Christianity is like drinking motor oil. You say that you accept evolution but reject its fundamentally atheistic character. It is like drinking motor oil and then thinking that you can exempt yourself from its toxic character.
Likewise, you cannot accept something and then selectively exempt yourself from its properties. That is what compromising believers do when they imagine that they can accept organic evolution and then selectively reject its atheistic implications.
BTW, the whole notion of a created-soul-only is silly. Organic evolution not only denies the special creation of the human body, but also denies the existence of anything like a soul. Organic evolution teaches that the "soul" is merely a type of primate behavior that evolved into a moral and religious thought-process and behavior. And, if you are familiar with Jane Goodall's work, you know that she tries to link various social behaviors of chimps as a proto-moral behavior and the chimp fascination with waterfalls as a quasi-religious experience.
Once again, the compromisers are internally inconsistent. They want to selectively accept the evolutionary implications for the human body but conveniently reject the evolutionary implications for the origin of morality and religion (the soul).
