Pat Robertson to Ken Ham: Lets Not Make A Joke Of Ourselves
February 5, 2014 By Benjamin L. Corey
Pat did it again he said something that was both reasonable and true all at the same time.
In his final analysis of the Ken Ham debate, Pat now says in reference to Ken Hams version of young earth creationism: There ain't no way thats possible Its time we come off of that stuff lets be real lets not make a joke of ourselves.
He went on to say that: just because we have progressive evolution under Gods control- that doesnt hurt my faith at all.
Exactly.
I love it when people get old because they say funny stuff. In this case, it seems that Pats age is causing him to say some stuff thats actually quite reasonable.
God is the agent behind everything you see and however it was created, God did it.
Let the battle be that we point people to the agent behind it all, instead of quibbling about the stuff that doesnt really matter.
Or, as Pat says, Lets not make a joke of ourselves.

(28,784 posts)Evolution is not progressive or any other direction other than change. It's the randomness of mutation that is simply part of being life on earth.
sure, someone can credit god for that.
but they need to understand that there is no "arrow" of intelligent design directing living beings.
so, Pat's almost there.

I had to read that twice to make sure Pat Robertson said that. And he did.
Did the world turn upside down?
