The overwhelming majority of people on earth today, who identify as Christians, believe that evolution is real and is happening but that it was originally set in motion by God. The Roman Catholic Church plus ALL of the main line Protestant denominations support or accept theistic evolution. Pope Francis - “The theories of evolution and the Big Bang are real and God is not a magician with a magic wand, both scientific theories are not incompatible with the existence of a creator – in fact...

I could fill up this page with stories and times the word NO has saved me from untold trouble. Any stories you have about how the word NO has "saved" you? If I get any decent stories/feedback, I would like to use them for further articles... Read more ..read more
