>Why
>didn't He [Christ] tell us about our supposed origin via evolution?
I think the words of Augustine are appropriate here:
"The Spirit of God who spoke through [the biblical writers] did not
choose to teach about the heavens to men, as it was of no use for
salvation,"
I think it is reasonable to extrapolate that to the Spirit of God
incarnated in Christ not choosing to spend his time giving us a
scientific account of human origins. He had things of more eternal
significance to tell us.
