Some time ago, I asked for help with biblical research, and got no response. I'll try one more time. I asked where in the Bible there was a direct statement that species are static and do not evolve (beyond the obvious "after their own kind" in Genesis). My reason for asking is pure curiosity. I am trying to find a justification in scripture for the fervor with which evolution is attacked, and have, in all sincerity, simply failed to find it. It seems to me that, unless you are a fully committed biblical inerrancy fan, the Bible does not in any way conflict with evolution, at least as I read it. I was moved to ask about this point by this posting fragment: In <1167@uwmacc.UUCP>, Paul DuBois says: > Contradictory to WHAT? Where does the Bible state that from > henceforth and forevermore languages would remain static? > Paul DuBois {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!uwmacc!dubois As this is a point of curiosity not directly connected with the subject of the newsgroup, please respond by mail. I will mail or post any result if there is any interest. -- Wayne Throop at Data General, RTP, NC <the-known-world>!mcnc!rti-sel!rtp47!throopw
