Theists who have no issues with biological evolution - lame or not?
by nicolaou ina poster recently described himself that way and it got me thinking as to just how strange that position is.
for the theist it's a convenient win/win situation, hold onto your belief in god while attempting to cloak yourself in science's robes of rationality and reason.
i think believers who hold this precarious opinion need calling on it.. for now i'll just say that this mongrelization of views is, to me, deeeply unsatisfying.

The implications of 'prophecy'
by Simon instories such as lord of the rings and narnia always have some prophecy which usually involves some decendent of whoever becoming king and then everything being ok, yada yada yada.
they never explain how it works ... because of course it cannot be explained - there is just some 'magic' that makes things work out.. of course the bible is the ultimate story jam packed full of prophecies.
so, for the people who believe it, what are the implications?.
