Twentywhen?

Surprising myself I sprang quickly to Christianitys defence by countering, Look, Hon, lets face it, in most of recorded history, religion has given men and women universal direction, promises of forgiveness of sins and an afterlife. Those are huge inducements to believe, lets face it.Whose side was I on, I wondered. So did Mark.Hey, hang on, sweetheart, Mark frowned at me in surprise, but isnt that direction, as you put it, innate now in humans anyway? Its right there in the frontal lobes of our brains from birth, surely? And tell me, whats the value of promises based on pure conjecture? Whats the point in having lifes anchor of hope set in sand? Mark demanded, still frowning, leaning back and lifting his chairs two front legs off the floor as he clasped his hands behind his head. And weve just decided weve been taking the Bible too literally, havent we?Indeed we had. My shoulders slumped.This parable reconciles Christianitys Bible with the notion that evolution is Gods plan, despite which the world as it presently exists could end in our lifetimes.
