I'm not sure how sin and morality are changing or adaptable concepts when viewed through the context of any religion? It seems to me that adjusting a faith based value system to better accomidate any outside factors would weaken the entire value system. What is it that makes us want to justify our beliefs with those that originate outside them? Just a question.

original sin and evolution creationists
by BlackSwan of Memphis inok i've been trying to understand this.... there are a good number of christians out there who most definitely believe that god used evolution as a means of creating us.
for instance, i am pretty sure that the catholic church accepts this idea.. if man came about by evolution, how does sin come into play?
at what point did man sin and how does the story of adam and eve fit into this picture?.

What if we are really alone in the universe?
by zagor inhow would that make you feel if we were the only pleasant accident in inhospitable universe, if such 'miracle' newer happened elsewhere in our universe?
if there are no other alien civilizations that could rescue us or ?show us the way?
as some popular writers like to think.

I have heard of the idea that we aren't alone in the universe, or that we aren't the only universe but because we are contaminated by sin we cannot ever have contact with other parts of creation. C.S.Lewis wrote a SciFi book called The Silent Planet that tells a story around this idea.
