  1. I wouldn't pretend to understand the nature of god or our relationship to Him but clearly evolution is true and I believe also that there is more to our existence than is gerally acknowledged by science so the short answer is "yes".


  2. No, I believe God created things the way He wanted them to be, each kind after its own kind.  All you did was ask.  All I did was give you my personal opinion.

  3. yes depends on our deeds

  4. I believe in the evolution that most people think is true- that humans developed from some chimp and started walking upright.  I took Intro to Anthropology and we learned about evolution.  It isn't what people think.  However, I do not believe in the evolution of humans taught in that class either.  I go to church on a regular basis- regardless- I believe God put us here and He is the creator of all things that are here.  I do however that evolution exists.  Animals have evolved.  Bugs, fish, etc. They adapt and evolve to be able to survive. But to each their own. I am respectful to every ones beliefs.

  5. I believe in evolution, but I also believe in God. To me, the story of creation put out by the Christian religion is that of how the earth came to be - much like other religions and Native Americans - all have their stories as to how the world came to be. There is a definite separation between religion and science. It's up to you to find that division, and be ok with it.

  6. Yes, I believe that...  It's just as hard to believe that everything just came together in just the right way and bam there was life.  So I chose to believe that God created life...

  7. It is very contradictory to Biblical statements, "the evening and the morning were the first day, etc..." Genesis 1, and in the NT the Bible speaks of "science falsely so called", and also that we "...do not know how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child."  We are lead to believe that evolution is a science when it is not.  These days the propaganda is fiercely intense.

  8. I have asked my self this question way more then one occasion.  I would assume yes there are many small notes in the bible explaining great changes in the way humans live as well as small clues to how genetic mutation from like genetic pairs come to light.  I think it is safe to assume that the only real answer is to review all of the facts.  Many if not all events in the Bible can be backed by some sort of archeological evidence,the complexity of the full human genome will never be completely understood and that in itself explains divine design, humans undergo constant evolutionary changes including but not limited to skin color, eye lash length, dietary immunities, etc.  So if your asking if evolution and belief in Divine design can co-mingle I would say yes, but only to the very open minded.  The real problem with this question is that believers commonly adhere to only the bible and neglect to look at all the things outside of the Bible that never made it to the book, either because of relevance or because we are missing critical pieces dues to grave robbery and changes in the Dead Sea, on that same note Darwinists and Atheists often stubbornly stick to strictly evolution as the origin of the species.  I think it is fairly safe to assume that the chances of patterns of events creating both the proper atmosphere as well as species variations from a pool of protoplasmic enzymes are fairly small esspecially in comparison to heavenly bodies that lack these elements, we are talking 1 in 1 googleplex numbers (googleplex=number with 100 zeros)

  9. no.  God created humans in His image.  therefore, humans could not have come from fish or apes

  10. I don't believe in creationism, but that idea and the theory of evolution are not mutually exclusive. If God exists and created the earth, he probably also created a set of natural laws to govern and guide us. Evolution coulse be one of these laws.

  11. Of course.  There are plenty of religious people who also accept scientific thought.  They're all about using the brains that God gave them.  The Bible (I'm assuming you're talking about Christianity; insert whatever term is appropriate if you're not) doesn't have to be taken literally in order to be understood as a message from God- again, a position many Christians take.  I mean, do you think a bunch of goatherders thousands of years ago wanted a treatise on biology, geology, and astrophysics?  Nah, they just wanted to know that God created the universe.  They really weren't in a place to understand how it really happened, anyway, because you need to have a lot of other knowledge in place, and they were really near the beginning of that accruing of knowledge.

    What I never understood was why it needed to be taken literally anyway.  First off, Jesus spoke in parables all the time.  Shouldn't be a problem for God to do the same thing.  Secondly, the universe is a far more wonderful and awe-inspiring thing than those goatherders could ever have dreamed.  Ever check out the photos of distant galaxies and nebulae that NASA's got?  Yeah.
