Evolution is the theory that creatures evolve, or change through mutations with unique traits surviving long enough to mate and have offspring, into other creatures and that we can all be traced back to one common ancestor.

Someone once asked me "Tell me, how do you define hypocrisy?".
And I said to him "Hypocrisy, for me, is a socialist preaching about the prestige and merit of an anti-capitalist comedian's message, praising his critical thought regarding commodity and exchange value, but then going out and buying his DVD."
While you're praising the message, that comedian is only using left wing agendas as a gimmick. While you're listing him as an inspiration, he's getting richer.

In essence you're asking whether or not people in your community are educated or are ignorant.

When you have faith vs reason, there is a direct conflict. Accepting something without good evidence for it is not a good reason to beleive in anything. Whilst there COULD be a creator that directed evolution/created the laws of reality that science can observe, without any evidence for it there is no good reason to beleive that this is the case, no more so than to beleive a council of invisible leprechauns creates rain by dancing above your toilet.Dread Lady Nathicana wrote:Meh. I don't understand why one can't accept both, within the framework available. Bear with me here.
Both say life began in the waters, then the land, then the air. Neither has an absolute answer to 'how it all began' if you get right down to it. If one is serious about their religious beliefs, one must accept that we're here to learn, grow - gasp - adapt, and that's what evolution basically is when you get right down to it. Adapting to an ever-changing environment. One also has to accept that if there is a higher power, there is order to the universe - and that means rules/laws. This is where science comes into play. Shouldn't be any surprise that things work the way they do, in a scientifically proven manner.
I've been up half the night on short sleep, so pardon the rambling and all but jebus - it's silly for people to get as bent out of shape about all this as they do. Especially when, if looked at somewhat rationally, both sides do not necessarily need to be in contention with one another.
