"I see no good Reasons why the views in this volume Given the shock Should Religious sensibilities of Anyone. "
Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, 1869.
(I see no good reason that the issues touched upon in this book should threatening the religious sensibilities of anyone.)
What is the real reason that the Church does not accept evolution?
Answer: the Church gives a damn that we come from monkeys or a cricket. What the Church seeks to discuss what could not be in the past is just diverting attention. Not be understood otherwise than as an evolution term, which refers to what will be, always carry the controversy to what already was. Put another term: the Church does not dislike type documentary "Walking with Cavemen" (Walking with Cavemen, 2003) so as to be unable to live with them, to the Church what really bothers is Futuro Salvaje " (The Future is Wild, 2002), and obviously, if you accept the first, accept the second. And if you deny the second you deny, it is obvious, first.
In these cases usually knows the Church out of this mess and make up things, adapt something. Is conservative, but not stupid. If you are interested, would be as simple as saying it is a metaphor an interpretation, that evolution is against God because God wanted it that way and actually designed it so wisely. And to accept things that are not in the Bible (starting with that number π is not equal to 3) . Apparently, when Georges Lemaître, head of the Big-Bang theory was expounded by Pope Pius XII, the latter told him: what happened at the moment just before the big bang? , to which Lemaître said do not know. Pius XII smiled and said God is there. Why not accept the theory of evolution as well? "Things evolve, but as God wants, and is" . Not really. You do not have the same charge to see the future of the Big-Bang and accept that due to an explosion the universe is expanding, that all that does bring evolution.
The problem of the Church is not the past is the future. No matter what we come from, but how we become ourselves, and the Church can accept that we have evolved, but we evolving, and that is precisely what is happening. The Church does not like things like
The Bible says
· Genesis 1
26 God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have the fish of the sea and the birds, cattle, beasts of the earth, and all the animals that crawl the ground. "
27 And God created man in his image he created in God's image, male and female he created them.
If we are in the image and likeness of God ... worth. God is perfect, makes us in His image and likeness, all without being God.
Evolution adds
We evolve, we change, we adapt, move, improve ...
The Church responds:
... "God? How can we improve on God?! How are we going to become God?! [That would be what is lacking in the human race to perfection. I mean, I do not claim that human evolution go on the road to becoming gods or supermen, but, for the Church, in his own theories, which would mean considering the evolution of valid]
Yes That is what the Church really afraid, so it is best not to let the issue is always diverted to the past, dinosaurs or trilobites, one must delve into what affects them, they do not want people to think , as yet we have to evolve: "(...)
man in the distant future Will Be a far more perfect creature Than h and is now Charles Darwin (...)"
( (...) man will be in the distant future a far more perfect creature now (...))
Obviously, if we consider the mind of the Church (which is not necessary since scientific point of view), take the evolution leads not take all that burden, that sense of improvement and progress to become God, but simply what evolution really means: living things grow and die out according to the changes that occur in the habitat in which they live, which is neither better nor forward, but simply adapt to the demands of new environments.
The next image, known by all and much more realistic, makes it quite clear that the theory of evolution does not always mean "better", but simply adapt to these new requirements:
