Even those who dont believe in God/gods, they do believe in something that caused our being, ie evolution
In the context of "the nature of Peg", this is somewhat ambiguous. Perhaps she is saying "evolution" and meaning "life origins". But in literally reading that statement, I don't find any problem with it.
In all, I thought that message 4 was pretty good. Not a great masterpiece, but the non-admin mode did go so far as to give it a POTM nomination.
Bottom line: I personally don't think that considerations of abiogenesis and/or evolution are really significant to the "moderate Christian." Actually, I sometimes wonder if the old testament in general is that significant to the "moderate Christian".
Please, no responses to the moderation portion of this message. Members, however, may wish to pursue my statements of the previous paragraph. Even that, however, is rather off-topic. But I guess I can tolerate such in messages, if it does connect up to the faith origins of "moderate Christians." But maybe such may make for a good new topic.

It really helps moderators figure out if a topic is disintegrating because of general misbehavior versus someone in particular if the originally non-misbehaving members kept it that way. When everyone is prickly and argumentative and off-topic and personal then it's just too difficult to tell. We have neither infinite time to untie the Gordian knot, nor the wisdom of Solomon.
There used to be a comedian who presented his ideas for a better world, and one of them was to arm everyone on the highway with little rubber dart guns. Every time you see a driver doing something stupid, you fire a little dart at his car. When a state trooper sees someone driving down the highway with a bunch of darts all over his car he pulls him over for being an idiot.
Please make it easy to tell you apart from the idiots.
