<< I will, however, concede to the idea that God, in His infinite wisdom, created processes by which life would proceed. Only then would I concede evolution as a viable possibility. But creation had to proceed it. >> I'm confused by this statement. Do you believe in gradual change (evolution(, or don't you? Why does Creation have to proceed it? Del

Mike, I am not sure whether to leave you alone or try to engage you in discussion. I thought from the post I answered that you were questioning evolution, and yet it is quite clear from the fossil record (most of which has not yet even been unearthed and analyzed) that evolution is a fact. I do not want to further upset you, but I do not understand your position, or why evolution is so very threatening to you. I also do not understand why a Creator MUST be involved in evolution. That would be a belief system, not a fact, would it not? And if evolution is scientifically real, why should it not be taught that way in schools? Can you prove that all life started a few thousand years ago, and that the universe was created in seven days? Is there any evidence at all that this is the case? If there is not, then why should it be taught in schools as being equally plausible as evolution? If creation theory is a Christian belief, then why should young non-Christian children be forced to learn it? Why cannot it simply be taught by Christian parents to their children as a parable?
