The Vatican's View of Evolution: The Story of Two Popes

Pius XII states that nothing in Catholic doctrine is contradicted by a theory that suggests one specie might evolve into another—even if that specie is man.

Evolution, a doctrine that Pius XII only acknowledged as an unfortunate possibility, John Paul accepts forty-six years later “as an effectively proven fact.” (ROA, 82)

I often wondered why, since they were married, Romeo didn't just take Juliette out of town with him. Sure- the families would have been upset, but the damage was done- they were wed. Of course, kind of ruins the plot of a tragedy to have the couple happily leave town together.

Romeo is incapable to reasoned thought; he's all feeling, no sense. He reacts, not plans.

His eye would be wandering within a year, and she would have lost her family, social status, and wealth for a disinherited, educated but ornamental, teenager.

re: #177 savage_nation

I believe tonight...

Any Jewish posters to confirm that?

I'd have liked it if that future governor could sing better, but alas. Rocky Top does get my toes a'tappin', though. Reckon it's in the blood.

Passover starts Sunday.

Good grief. I just received an e-mail from my uncle imploring me to vote for Obama.

It starts at sundown tomorrow night.

Bionic Beaver:

* 2 oz Vodka
* 2 oz Southern Comfort
* 2 oz Sloe gin
* 2 oz Gin
* 2 oz Grenadine
* 12 oz Beer (Busch) *snicker*
* 7-Up
* Orange juice

GAZE.

Passover starts when I damn well say it does. Say... Two weeks from Thursday.

You're on, one will be along shortly.

Ahem. While there are many instances of " change " (drink!), actual difference in the count, i.e. number, of chromosomes has yet to be discovered. If I'm wrong, enlighten me. Either way, Killgore can collect.

re: #128 goddessoftheclassroom

Thanks for your good thoughts, but I teach 9th grade--most of them are taller than I am. However, my school doesn't have violence issues--how terrible.

Sorry - I thought you taught 9 year olds. But then again, how very advanced these 9 year olds would be to study Bill Shakespeare.

I had trouble with him at 14!

I'm glad your school doesn't have violence issues. Yet I have no doubt that you could handle it, if it occurred.

Two different things Killgore. psaturn admits that there is evidence of evolution. The point of contention is the origin of life....not the evolution of species.

Listen? No, tomorrow night, he will scream at me at the top of his lungs, call me vile names and walk out of the room when I try to reply.
(The rest of my family will blame me for upsetting him.)

And he's not a stupid man (senior law partner with a national firm). It's a mental disease.

re: #163 Inquisitive

I do the same-- 20 % for good service, 10 to 15 if buffet stile and yes always leave something even if not best service.

It's hard going to dinner with the nieces, though. They critique the servers mercilessly, and Lord help the servers who don't measure up!

Must be hard for servers to sit through a badly served meal knowing that the server depends on their tips! Everyone has a bad day every now and then, and it can spill over to work.

I'm really not at liberty to discuss that!

In the Jewish calander a holiday begins on the sunset of the previous day, so Passover begins tomorrow evening.

psaturn is denying that one species can evolve into another. See Swamprat's #200, he'll tell you the same thing.

Thanks. I'll floss later.

I guess everybody is going over to see jihadboy.

Good night, from the deep, DEEP south.

re: #200 swamprat

Damn, you'll have to catch up with me later about that article. It's regard the differences a similarites between human and chimp chromosomes that illustrates we are related. Our DNA fused two pairs of chimp dna, most of the articles I'm finding are waaaaay too damn technical to be of use to those of use with normal brains. I'll have to find it later.

re: #228 Killgore Trout

psaturn is denying that one species can evolve into another. See Swamprat's #200, he'll tell you the same thing.

I reject Swamprat's contention and replace it with my own:

I have a degree in Biology and I am a Creationist who has no problems with Natural Selection. Natural Selection is a scientific observation that is well supported.

psaturn

We all know that species have evolved and mutated. What we disagree on is how life began.

Where do I collect?

Nice, nice, ... the good quality of new recordings, the power of the music, the themes, the runs.

But, y'know, it wasn't hardly Blind Faith, now was it? Ah, I'm of a certain age now, that had me a certain age then, it's just in my blood, y'know?

Yep, I usually give them a benefit of doudt. Has to be really really bad to cut tip. I even had a girl spill a glass of ice tea in my lap, and she still got the full tip----it was her first day! Many Many years ago when I was a car hop--I over heard the boss tell a customer there was no need to tip us because he paid us(this is something that has stuck with me all these years)----the pay was so little we had to have the tips to make anything. Oh yea he gave us all the free rootbeer we could drink while working. He was also very mean and hard to work for---I only lasted 3 months. Made better money babysitting and putting up with kids that were brats was easier work then dealing with him.

re: #228 Killgore Trout

psaturn is denying that one species can evolve into another. See Swamprat's #200, he'll tell you the same thing.

Not exactly. This is almost impossible to prove, for once the count changes, it is in fact a different animal. Unless you count the genes of parent and child, and happen across the "change"(drink!) litter, you cannot prove evolution. I am an evolution agnostic. My faith does not depend on evolutions' existence, or lack thereof.

I have followed Joe Bonnamassa's career since his first album. I was fortunate to see live four times. Once, in a little club on the Isle of Long, this vastly talented young man was playing on a stage maybe a foot high. From mere inches away the boy played like I'd never seen before, or at least remember (well, maybe Cream '68) Every one of his albums has an old rocker that he updates yet still respects. His last album features "Sloe Gin", which Tim Curry (yes, THAT Tim Curry) recorded twenty odd years ago as the possibly most depressing blues song EVAH. I could listen to that tune thirty times in a row!

Anyway, Joe B. rules!

Hey, a good server is deserving of their tip. And the first day ones - bless their hearts! They need encouragement from discerning customers.

A good living can be made from working at a good restaurant. The nieces worked at The Catfish House, a very well-run place (that branched out to 3 or 4 other sites) in rural Mid-TN, where folks love eating well-made catfish and sides. They were able to build up "clients" who always asked to be seated in their sections, and who tipped them well.

The turnover rate in food service is wild! A job in food service can always be found in Nashville and the surrounding towns. And it can be kept if you're willing to work and not slack off.

That was WILD!
Wish I had a working turntable, got the original
Blind Faith LP lying in my closet.

Well here's a blues guy that shreds it up for Passover

re: #20 Killgore Trout

Blind Faith - Had To Cry Today
I love Steve Winwood's voice.

I agree, great voice. Remember The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys ?

Got my Joe B tickets for the show he is doing here in Jacksonville next month. Can't wait.

Allow me to post a link to a performance by a local boy that we are proud of here Mofro

Oh, Catfish---now your are talking really good eating! ! ! ! Food service is really a harder job than a lot of people think, and a really great server is worth their money in Gold to any company. Lots of people will go back to places just for the service. And many people chose the places they eat by the service they do receive which makes more money for the company.

Late to the party - but Joe B's music is.the.shit!
Thanks, Charles, for introducing him here awhile back. He's all over my iRiver.
Is this the FNDT? I wouldn't want to be the only one.

re: #248 So?
So...getcha one of these

Joe B. makes the blues cool to those that don't think it can be.

-T

Damn, that was smokin' - power trios, can't beat 'em !
Clapton "Now why didn't I think of that ?". Just funnin'
wid you slow hand - youz da man who did it first oh so long ago. Blind Faith helped me keep sane (some would argue with that) after the break up of Cream. What an album it was for its time..
Winwood and Baker took me away...Clapton reeled me back in. Do what ya like...ah, the 60's man !
This bass riff is infectious as hell... nice treatment dude !

Not really an extended version...original was 8:47, pretty much exactly time of video. Always one of my favorite tunes and one I got to see Blind Faith play live at the Forum in LA at my first ever rock concert.

Joe's bassist and drummer were extremely fine, Eric Czar really really rocks out, works the Freeman String machine besides a bass. Coming back to MN Zoo in August with I assume the new bass player and drummer Joe had last year. I'm there
