@waldenpod there are many reasons to be against it
- its environmentally unfriendly

i'm sure there are more
@anorthodoxpope@TsarStruck1 I don't really know what he meant, but he specified that he could do this without invoking anything personal about him. I think perhaps he's saying he has a unique insight into what motivates the people he follows?
@PavlikGreg@fool2theworld Maximus is right to recognize logoi, but wrong to draw immutable ontological substantial boundaries instead of intentional divine boundaries. He would have known that if he knew what we knew today, since he was extremely studious and rational.
@RomanosOrthodox@fool2theworld Equivocating on purely natural beginnings and synergy. You are a poor reasoner. You do not know what nihilism is. You have no authority to declare someone anathema. You are in no position to diagnose someone with spiritual sickness.
@HistoryDrove@RomanosOrthodox@fool2theworld Not all species were directed to last forever, but surely God had a reason for them in their time. Do you not believe species go extinct? This opinion is just incredulity, and a lack of imagination.
@RomanosOrthodox@fool2theworld Picking and choosing huh? The Orthodox church is and has always been pluralistic about many details concerning Genesis. Especially so in modernity given our current understanding of the world.
@RomanosOrthodox@fool2theworld About this subject, and you should to. They lived in a time with very little information about the subject and their best efforts for explanation do not account for new data. Its called being rational, realizing people make errors and updating credences with new data.
@fool2theworld Evolution is a modern theory, of course only people living in modernity comment on it. If modernist means "accounts for new information," sure.
Given we have more information now than any other time in history, their opinions are more informed about this subject
@RomanosOrthodox@fool2theworld Yes this is true, and God can bring forth substantial change through those numerous generations, until the intended form is reached. Do you say God cannot do this?
@RomanosOrthodox@fool2theworld Do you have an alternative hypothesis that better accounts for the historical record of diverse organisms found in the Earth prior to any form resembling a human? Im interested to hear your theory.
What's the contradiction with God creating in this way?
@Adriana19Flower Looks like robynn blocked me. I was hoping to hear about what her local clergy think about this online phenomena. I've never heard positive sentiments about it expressed by anyone reputable or long standing.
