The Christian baddies that will hold that against you won’t fuck you unless you marry them and you do not want to get involved in that. Good news though, if you go for it anyway, is that you only have to date them for 4-6 months before they’ll accept a proposal.

Mormons also unlocked the "soaking" tech. I know some bros, so I'm golden.

Do normal Christians still deny evolution? I thought it was only the crazy creationists and evangelists

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The catholic church's official position is divinely guided evolution. If you ever see a catholic denying evolution you can tell them that their position goes against official church doctrine.

Mind you my catholic school "taught the controversy" with the biology teacher doing her damned best to pretend both sides were worthy of consideration, but that's because the family that donated our building was denying official church doctrine.

I’m not religious nor Catholic but I never saw how scientific theory conflicted with the idea of god. Couldn’t it all just be “gods plan?” Sounds like the Catholic position is similar to that.

It's mostly about the creation of man. The bible says we were created in his image. And most take that to mean, we've always been and looked this way. They haven't considered god might have looked like ape or something from the soup of life's creation. It the conventional interpretation that doesn't jibe. And if Darwin had written "ascend" instead, maybe it wouldn't have been as controversial.

Yeah see that still works out to me as if there is a god similar to the abrahamic conception, all of life has been created in their image. From bacteria to man.

Some time ago I happened to get ik a conversation with a Jehovah's Witness, finding out they didn't believe in evolution was so surreal.
I didn't have a way to go against the arguments they put up at the time, about how it's only a "theory", which is a shame.

They can’t understand that you have to at least meet science half way when there is so much undeniable evidence that is easily accessible. And as an all-or-nothing religion that is really hurting them. I grew up in it and the governing body are some of the most stubborn and out-of-touch people out there.

There are many different flavors of christian and they are very split on the matter.

Mike Johnson, the previous and likely current Speaker of the House, believes the Earth is 6000 years old. Yes, it's exclusively the crazies that believe it, but there's more of them than you'd hope.

Yuuup. Do not look up "evolution debunking" on YouTube. You'll realize how deep they are going to drag us back, if haven't already lost all hope from such a large group of below average IQ people thinking they're actually the smartest people that exist.
