Post-modernists' penchant for saying "y'all." Yuck

Post-modernists' penchant for saying "y'all." Yuck

English lacks the second-person plural informal - like "vosotros" in Spanish. "You guys" or "you all" is clunky. Y'all is very useful.

I've tossed debated a similar line of thought before. I don't believe in Creationism but at the same time, maybe evolution was actually God's process so to speak.

To me (and I'm by no means a theological scholar having not been to church for anything other than weddings and funerals since third grade), the fact that dinosaurs were clearly on the planet before man means that Creationists have to reconcile that with their idea that God created Earth and man over the course of a week or whatever. If they can't or won't do that then I'm not accepting their 'truths' about the origins of man.

It depends on what your definition of 'week' is. A week for a being that is around before creation is probably a pretty darned long time.

The "days" in Genesis are meant to be "24 hour" days from what i know to be the scholarly consensus, but it's okay, because we don't have to take Genesis literally (Catholics and Jews have always understood this)

I've had the thought that God created everything, but the process that he used was a fast forward version of evolution.

I understand exactly what you are saying. I don't see why a simple way to think about it like that isn't an option for people to avoid the BS and stop trying to legislate our children into stupidity in the name of religion.
