Dont think about the universe, god made that too. Yes! you might be right, and Iam all that makes an effort somehow(with god looking over my shoulder)....he still gives me time to think.

Runner. If this is the plan for everything, It might not be so bad in the eyes for a child.......but the parent will have to deal with a changing world, no matter what we believe in.......its just in our..............well.......I have my side, and you have yours:)

For now, lets keep it that way:)

The score is!....evolution 5......God people 0.

Runner thankfully, is not your average Christian.
Most are quite ok and try not to offend or harm any one.
As followers of almost every God do not either.
I have seen one, Aboriginals rainbow Serpent.
Several times today in fact, rare breaks in the rain saw him/her head in the mountains feet in the River digging as we are told yet another stream.
Some of the Gods would let any sex act take place, some demand it,who are we to say any of them is excluded from being the true one.
What other reason than bigotry or a God say why some are wrong to want rights we have.
Once Christian Churches agreed colored humans it said are lessor beings, Jews unclean because they killed Christ?
The one who said they are his chosen people.
Just as we paint portraits of Christ , a little Brown skinned Jew, as white.
We tend to bend his teachings to fit any needed out come.

Does eating fish and chips make you or me a cannibal? If not why not?

Dear runner,

I do not believe in evolution. I accept evolution because it fits the evidence better than any other explanation. It is an integral part of medical science, biology and geology. The fossil record, development of drug-resistent strains of bacteria and the distribution of life connected with the movements of tectonic plates are only part of the evidence which impels one to accept the reality of evolution. You have probably benefited from the knowledge of evolution if you had medications.

Faith is required where there is no evidence. One may believe in the legends at the beginning of Genesis. I see no reason to accept those legends since there is no evidence to support those legends. There is a lot of evidence that they are variants of older legends of the Sumerians and other people living in the Middle East.

Reason's Greetings.

I suggest you are in severe denial if you don't believe you need faith to accept evolution.

I like what one Professor said

'Bioligist are simply naive when they talk about experiments designed to test the theory of evolution. It is not testable. They may happen to stumble across facts that conflict with its predictions. These facts will invariably be ignored and their discoveries will undoubtably be deprived of continuing research grants.'

Your acceptance in contrast to what you call faith is simply taking facts to fit the evolution fantasy story.
