How many here believe in evolution?

[udet]

I don't know if there is such thinga s evolution or not, but if there is, few people can even comprehend how the human being of the future will function, just as monkeys can't comprehend us.

Damn Dirty Apes!

I used to disagree with the fundamentalist xian "creationists" but i have to say that their arguments have swayed me, and I now agree with them. I too am of the opinion that fundamentalist xian "creationists" are unevolved human beings.

The interesting thing about the whole Creationism vs Darwinism argument is that Darwin himself believed in God, as did Einstein and other creative thinkers of the day.

There is nothing about evolution that contradicts a belief in God. Of course evolution is not consistent with a literal interpretation of Genesis, but only a relatively small minority of theists believe in that.

So then one of the seven days lasted umpty ump bazillion years?  And the creation of man also took umpty ump bazillion years less a "day or two"

I'm up with that!

But what I find most disconcerting is the literal interpretation of the concept of omnipotence, i.e. God "created humnas" in an instant and interjected him into the planetary biosphere only about 10k years back.  So, in other words, it took the all powerful God umpty ump bazillion years to evolve the cosmos, but he created the most complex organism, sentient beings with free will, in an instant.  The logic doesn't compute unless God is quite arbitrary.

if this thread gets to 1000 posts it proves there is no god.

Don't know about evolution vs religion, but there's some who believe we were genatically engineered from apes by aliens who needed us to mine gold for them.

Syzy,

Are you trying to say that a "Universal" day is 24 hours?

It's merely the time the Earth takes to rotate once. If you lived on Mercury, your day would be 12 hours long.

Who knows how long a day really is, or if there even is one. I sure don't.

Egggsakly GrimmCo.  I'm agreeing with ya!  You can believe in evolution and still believe in God expecially when his "days" are a bazillion years long!.  

Don't be so defensive!

Sheesh!:D

It was written by humans who thought the world was flat, and the the earth was the center of everything and ..................

If the bible was written today, how would it start?
