What a curious statement. In Bishop Boniface Adoyo eyes, God cannot, or more to the point, should not be a changing thing. And God shouldn’t be everything. I realize all this goes through my mental filters but that’s how it reads. I also realize he’s all learned on the subject of theology, letter of the law and all that. But what about the “spirit of the law”?
God is unchanging and all knowing is what I believe Adoyo’s hinting at. What if it’s the ability to change that makes Him all knowing or at the least all wise? What if change is a part of the ineffable plan and the resistance to change its antithesis?
On the other side of things, it’s not like everything scientists say is canon. The foundation of science is to theorize and to be able to prove things. Evolution is a theory. One of the strongest and provable ones around these days. But it is still a theory. Theories are shifted or are amended or are erased and re-envisioned completely, from time to time.
Theories have the ability to change. That is their power. Theories have the chance to be proven. That is their foundation.
It’s not like they’re written down in stone.
Basically what I’m saying is all this hooha over changing a theory just because a couple people are offended by it is silly. I’m offended by anything printed about that Hilton woman or Crazy McHavemybaby.
So what do I do? Well I do read about them but I damn well don’t talk about them with any kind of seriousness. At the end of the day, what they write or say doesn’t fundamentally affect my way of thinking.
Although it can make for easy cannon fodder.
Which is why I think the more meddlesome folk get so riled up over ideas that will probably be altered over the next few decades anyway. They need something to fire at and rail against.
That and they’re most likely running for re-election.
