Let me amend: Biblical literalists need not apply.

Personally, I believe the bible is far too old and susceptible to editing to believe that every single bit of data that isn't moral-related is 100% accurate. I'm sure the occupation of spin doctoring began long ago with the corruption of ancient churches.

I think that God maybe created the images of life sciences (like we came from monkeys), so he could see who really believes in him, not relying on facts, but on the love all around you. Call me corny, but that's what I believe. And like Suffix said, not all of the facts of God's creation could be factored in the bible, since they were more primitive back then.

Then what do you think? There was a poof and we, complex biological beings, came out of nowhere? C'mon. The Bible only states that God created man. How he did is open up to interpretation. One day is like 1000 years to God, and 1000 years is as a day. This means times dosen't matter to him. If you actually learn Darwin's theory you will find overwhelming proof that we did indeed evolve.

One of the best examples is an experiment conducted on domestic dogs. It actually proved that they evolved from wolfs, but were selected by people for their best traits. Over many, many years, they began to change physical appearance. This is supported by comparing Mitochondrial DNA in the dog to mitochondrial DNA to a wolf.

This is my opnion. I don't think it is too hard to figure out, especially since there is overwhelming evidance to prove evoution. And the beautiful thing is... absolutely none of this contradicts the truths found in Genesis!

Then again, I am going WAY off topic, according to the first post in this thread. I do appologize.

There wasn't any proof. It was only a theory. For all we know, the fossils and artifacts could have even been from an extinct species. I belive in evolution, but not that we came from apes. Homo Sapiens and apes could have just as easily came from a common ancestor. We could very well be related, but they're not our ancestors.

~I'm censoring you. It's one thing to have opinions; it's another to blatantly insult and attack something. And that's all you did; you didn't even say WHY you think that. But seeing your attitude and total lack of tact, no offense, but it's not surprising that you'd act this way or hate any sort of faith. No matter what someone's religion (or lack) of it is, ALL CULTURES promote respect, and clearly that is something you do not have. Learn that. ~Sapph

Please do not inslut my reliegion. Please do not insult anyone's reliegion. It just isn't polite. If that is the way you feel, keep it to yourself. You don't see any of the other non-believers here making fun of our religion.

In the mean time, you can be assured of my prayers.

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Ever since you came here, all I've heard was insults, criticism, and immature remarks. What you just said was VERY wrong. I'm sure a lot of people are highly offended by that. You either need to learn some respect for people's religion and comments, or leave.

I'm sorry, but this is really upsetting me.

That is a load of crap because everyone else here seems to be able to say evolution is not true.
