Re: Stay Focused Pleased

Just as Rrhain said in post 5, the address also said:

Pius XII stressed this essential point: If the human body take its origin from pre-existent living matter, the spiritual soul is immediately created by God

He basically said that there were three separate philosophies of interpretation of the TOE, and if one of the three ...

theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider the spirit as emerging from the forces of living matter or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man.

Sounds to me that he is just keeping the magisteria separate, just as science does. Evolution is not incompatable with science, as long as science does not consider the "spirit" as coming from anything other than god.

Since science doesn't concern itself at all with "spirit", then it has nothing to worry about from the Catholic Church.

I'm not going to post as Admin for the moment, but I will state that this

The fact that you're stupid, and apparently uneducated is not my problem.

is against Forum Guidelines.

Now, as to your other claims. Crash is correct, what do you believe that your link showed? The average female vagina is at an angle to the spine. Mine is at quite an angle. I have friends who's vaginal angle was enough to necessitate a c-section when they had kids.

You have made your claims, Crash has made his, I have made mine. Crash and I have given personal anecdote as evidence and that is all you have given. I'm sure that people here will be more than willing to listen if and when something other than anecdote or misrepresented facts is given
