They lied about the evolution theory and about the earth being round too. (This is not my opinion, but this is how some religious people seem to think.) |
As far as I remember the bible says something about creating humans with free will. So I would presume this means that we are able to screw up earth if we want to, even from a human perspective.
I mean, I doubt many christians, or other religious would think that the nuclear threat during the cold war was made up because god wouldn't allow it. Christianity, and probably other religions to without me knowing anything about it more than opens up for us screwing up everything.
The popes scientist (in the 1500s or something) once said the rings of saturn were remnants from jesus' foreskin. So they are right in believing that scientists aren't always right...
I know quite a few devout christians here at med. School that have no problem accepting these theories. This is because they look at the bible as moral teachings, not just a lot of 100% true stories. I wish more were like them, but hey, what could you do?
