Havn't read through much of this thread, but read the last couple of pages..
Someone asked the view of other religions on evolution.. I came across this interesting debate between Muslims and CHristians recently where I live here in Indonesia, Muslims were debating for creation whilst the Christian group was for evolution!!
Re this topic, I think the fact that when we pick up the Bible we read the exact jewish genealogy back to Adam, 6000 years, seems to put things in perspective for me. We havn't been on this planet as long a most think are my thoughts!! Mostly because there is a specific family tree to prove it!!
Re the whole religion stuff, I embrace faith but not religion.... History is very clear.... The organisation of the Christian religion happened 200 years after Christ, Christs original followers for the first 200 years never had a religion but faith. The same goes for Islam, it was formalised after the death of its founder!!
So the mess that religion creates are the doings of the followers, not a Bible problem or Jesus problem..
Anyway they are my thoughts...
