(731 posts)If I'm readying this correctly, we have evolved, as a people, race, society etc. I'm assuming your refering to a broader process than just biological, ok so far so good.
We've now evolved beyond slavery as a society... Well yes and no. We may have in Western civilization but human trafficing and the sex slave market still thrives elsewhere, I've seen it. Which itself begs the question that if god if guiding this social evolution why is he leaving some of his children behind?
Either way, the other implication here is that if god is guiding our social evolution, and always has been... if the "slavery phase" was just a step in our evolution (which is still going on), then god guided us to it. So is the new stance: "God gave us slavery, so we could evolve past it"???
