Evolution?

It's entirely possible to interpret the Bible as a metaphor of creation, and still believe in the Big Bang and the gradual evolution of the universe and life as we know it.

That's actually the Catholic Church's official position on the matter.

A complete denial of the overwhelming scientific proof of evolution is a uniquely American protestant (and Islamic fundmentalist) phenomenon.

The problem doesn't arise from people's beliefs. You are complete entitled to believe the world was created on the back of a turtle supported by white elephants if you want (as hundreds of millions of people in the world do). It's no sweat off my back.

The problem arises when people aren't content with their own beliefs, and try to hijack the political and educational systems to stop teaching or funding evolution -- a belief of which will be vitally important for our country to ever compete in the medical, geological, astrophysical, biological, and scientific fields of the future.

Since you guys are such Bible toting people, please tell me where it is stated in the Bible that we can't believe in a form of adaption (or evolution). We just don't believe in the fact that we were created via Evolution.

Old testament. The book of Genesis. The Garden of Eden.

Who are you to tell me what I have to believe and not believe?

Have you actually read that in detail as much as you have your Evolution Theory? That states that God created man. It does not imply how he created him nor does it state that "God created man, and he shall forever more never be able to adapt to become stronger or immune to Germs!"

Please, if you're going to quote the good book, do it right.

Are you not actually reading anything I write?

I don't believe in creationism at all actually, but I still would like to think that there is a place we go when we die that is not just six feet underground. Yes, I understand that may be laughable and childish.

You know what's funny, the Quran does not include the word "Prophet" in it at all; so like I said,

This is what you are saying: It is okay to believe w/e you want and you can too. Then in the same paragraph say: But you still have to believe this too. So, again like I said: no I don't.

So what makes Pokemon so fun now? I played it way back but there are more fun games now in my world...

No Pokemon please! I'd rather read something stimulating!

Personally I feel the same way... I beleive in evolution but like to think that something happens to our minds. Do I have any idea what? No way. I will find out someday so not in any real hurry... maybe it will just be oblivion, maybe I will come before some all powerful entity who will judge me (and I'm sure in my case s/he will send me to hell where its warm) or maybe it will be an endless mexican fiesta. In the end it`s nothing i`m gunna stress over, there is no way to know ahead of time and no way to avoid it.

Evolution is real!

This shouldn't really be a debate. Evolution is not proven, but there is no reason to not be on board with the scientific evidence.
Creation is religious *** that has no scientific ground to stand on.
