Creation Moment 1/2/2017 - Evolution as Metaphor

 .....but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
Proverbs 12:23
"Our imagery is never just surface paint, it expresses, advertises
and strengthens our preferred interpretations. It also usually carries unconscious bias from the age we live in – and this can be tricky to ditch no matter how faulty.... Evolution has been the most glaring example of the thoughtless use of metaphor over the past 30 years...."
