Perhaps there has been a misunderstanding in what I wrote. There is only one God. He is the triune God the father, God the son and God the Holy Ghost. This does not mean that the Holy Spirit is not working diligently through us and other means for conversions. It is in our make-up to seek God. To seek the truth. Does that mean that other religions which are false are not being sought like lost sheep? God gives them experiences to bring them to Him. Saul of Tarsus would never have converted and become St. Paul had God not sought the unbelievers.

It does appear to me that you are inclined more towards deism rather than christian religion that identify a jesus and a holy spirit as other forms of God manifestation.

What logical fallacy? Be specific. And the headline sets up a clear implication that the two conditions are incompatible.

It's not meant to make a point. Your argument is a logical fallacy.

How can I be a product of this culture, and yet Catholic? The implication is that simple exposure to my ancestors’ life work should have shaken me out of my backwards error.

How can you not suggest that being raised from a child by a Catholic mother had no stifling effects on your dead ancestors' achievements? That omission is deafening.

This was an interesting read. Perhaps she'll contribute again?

Lorr on that I would have to agree Lorr.

""Pius XII left room for the possibility of polygenism in his discussions of human origins and Rome has made more room for it since Pius’ day. We are not therefore all descended from one couple."

Polygenism is compatible with Adam and Eve, and does not necessitate "multiple Adam and Eves." This was, in fact, the most basic argument in Mark's article, so to suggest he argues otherwise is to misread or misunderstand what he wrote.

Well, maybe not a couple of human beings...:)But the whole sex thing...:)
