They believe it's an episode of Star Trek?
Just kidding.

Of course, but your post only mentioned man. I'm intrigued by the latest revision of the Bible in which the 6th Commandment is being re-written from: Thou shalt not kill. to Thou shalt not murder.
It's fun for me to watch the inerrant Word of God, kept pure down through the ages by the hand of God, and every word is literal truth, being changed right before our eyes. Will miracles never cease!
Translation is sometimes different these two are almost the same words
To fully understand holy Quran you need to speak Arabic, what about millions of people who don't, they have the best posible translations
why is an evolution thread in the religion forum? it should be in the science forum.

Not so fast, sheepskin, the Bible has had the word "kill" in the 6th Commandment for centuries and now all of a sudden it's being changed to "murder". One of the reasons for this I suspect is the animals' rights movement which has used the 6th Commandment to good purpose. Kill and murder are very different words with divergent meanings, "murder" traditionally carries with it a moral value that "kill" does not. It's just another example of Bible revisionism to bring the immutable, infallible, unchanging, inerrant, eternal, Word of God up to date with our current religious needs.
Please note how quickly the Mormons received a revelation from God about allowing black men to hold the priesthood after the Federal Government threatened to revoke their tax exempt status if they didn't. Christians are a violent, but practical people.
Another homonid fossil dating to 3.5 million years ago has been found.
Additional evidence for evolutionary theory comes to light quite frequently.
I disagree with you. Most of churches are protestant. First, there are many different kinds of Bible in the USA Protestants follow 16th century rebels against Catholic Church. I am not sure which of these churches changed word murder to word kill but it is nothing new for Protestants. They adjust doctrines to modern time, in this case maybe to animal rights activists. In the San Francisco, CA even cult of Satan was registered and began their mission to bring followers. Why would I be surprised that someone change the Bible anyway they want?
I've always said so. Whenever my father used to call me a smartass I'd apologize for my ass being smarter than his head.
