StephenB on why Christianity is incompatible with "Darwinism"
   
Quote
There should be no doubt among Christians that God created humans exactly as he wanted them, with no allowable variations. Made for a definite end, “in His image,” and capable of rational and willful action in order to pursue that end, God would not allow for any other set of combinations and permutations. I don’t hesitate to say this boldly, or to insist that God would not permit any other outcome.

Would God have permitted contingency to provide for the body and leave out the soul? Of course not. Would He have formed a soul with an intellect but without a will? Not if he planned to hold man accountable for the misuse of that will. He formed homo sapiens with the same exactitude that He formed angels—exactly as he wanted them.

Oh, now I see, just like angels, huh? So, that seems to be settled, then.

So, God wanted StephenB and Kairosfocus to be insufferably sanctimonious pricks?  Go figure.
