History Lesson for Atheists and Fundamentalist Christians. Traditional Theologists knew that Genesis and the Bible should not be taken literally. Hence it was written in myth and metaphor to explain the existence of God and that God is ever present. Which is actually not a contradiction to Darwin and his theories on evolution.
St. Augustine knew this and warned against taking the Bible at its wo...rd. Unfortunately in the 19th century in particular England, some Theologians started rewriting the Bible, interpreting it at its word even listing exact dates of Biblical occurrences. They were “Creationists” who began taking every occurrence in the Bible literally. Sadly creationists and most Christians who started believing in Creation began to attack Darwin as an enemy of God.
For the record Darwin believed in God and did not lose his faith based on his ideas on “Evolution”. His theories were never written to attack the Bible. Darwin actually lost his faith after his 10 year old daughter died. Which is not unlike most of us who start to doubt our belief in God after we have experienced a loss of a close one. It was never meant to challenge God…ever! As I said it is in line with traditional Theological beliefs!
Creationists made “Darwin the enemy. Darwin was never a “God Hater”. And now you have the Atheists and the Darwinists if you will using Darwin’s brilliant ideas to counter the existence of God.
In conclusion, I would like to thank the uninformed Christians who take the Bible literally at its word for turning me off from Religion (Not God) and I want to thank the Atheists and Darwinists for being so bloody stupid by claiming that evolution contains atheism…which it never was meant to!
