You will all think im crazy or really stupid after reading this post but its what i think and feel.

Evolution is a test of faith. Some will lose it in believing that God does not exist because of it. But in reality, Jesus still died on the cross for our sins and a lot more of the religious things happend. If evolution wasnt there, how else would God test our faith to him? Just because evolution exists doesnt mean God doesnt because it really doesnt disprove his existance. In the bible, it says that he used dust to create man, and dust may be a reference to micro organisms becoming man. which brings me to another point on why everything is so similar. When you look a paintings, you can tell which are by one person because of the style they are done in. so why cant that apply to life? why cant life be similar because all beings are made by the same Creator? it is possible. But if God really wanted us to blindly follow him, he would not have needed evolution to be. He says that humans have the choice between right and wrong and that means we do not blindly follow him but can beleive in whatever we want to. There is another test of our faith that Jesus did what he did for love of us. Without evolution, there is no way to prove that man has the choice of right or wrong so therefore it must exist. But i dont believe we evlolved from apes. I do not feel like going into why i dont believe we evolved from apes right now, i just want to say what i think about evolution and that is it.

well thanks for your time to read my post and the poorness of its grammar.

That was kind of confusing, but I think I agree with you for the most part. Why shouldn't we be able to believe in God and evolution? They don't have to disprove one another, and either way, it doesn't change God's love for us.

I don't believe in us evolving from apes either. It's been found that we didn't evolve from Neandertals, they were actually kind of a *seperate* human race. So it's possible that we didn't come from apes either.

Anyway, good point. Evolution doesn't necessarily disprove God and God doesn't necessarily disprove evolution.

Your right if you just mean "a" god. But if your talking about the God in Christianity, then it doesnt work, because in the Christrian faith, God created the first human beings; they didn't evolve.

Neanderthals were a branch that existed during the same time as Archaic Homo Sapiens. They both evolved from apes, we just evolved from Homo Sapien into Homo Sapien Sapien, Neanderthals died off.

The sheer ignorance of fanatics can be expressed in one sentence:
Carbon dating is just a clever ruse by the Devil!!

Well thats relative. :eek:


But anywho, the modern idea of evolution doesnt work with Christianity, unless God looks like an ape. Men were created in his own image. So, bleh. ;)
