Creation & EvolutionForum for the discussion of this important topic. This forum is open to non-believers. There is a Christians-only forum in the Christians-only section too.
I believe that evolution in the hand of an almighty God is very true, from looking how God developed the world and certain events that occured in the bible pertaining to the world events. I don't belive I came from a monkey and I know it is just a way for people to shun there responsability of giving God all the praise and worship he deserves.
I think blindly accepting Genesis is a way of shunning the responsibility of thinking. God gave us a mind and the capacity for critical thought for a reason. I don't think playing ostrich with regard to the facts is that reason.
Neither does evolution. Do you know what evolution does say?
and I know it is just a way for people to shun there responsability of giving God all the praise and worship he deserves.
Wrong. It is a way of explaining the origin of the universe and does nothing to diminish God.
What Do You Think?
I think that you have little understanding of what evolution actually says, and I hope you will stay around to hear and learn more.

I think that you are wrong.
How does ones liniage effect salvation?
Lets see... Who did Jesus die for? Well the Bible says he died for me and you and everyone else personaly, so who we evolved from is of no conciquence to salvation.
Even when we look at the universe scientificaly, it is still an awe inspiring sight and process, so ot seems that Gods glory is not diminished either.
And when we look at the universe, according to the Bible what are we looking at? God's word, since He spoke it into existance. If we ignore science (the study of the universe) we are ignoring half of God's word, and I feel that ignoring God is never a good idea.

What Do You Think?
I think that your first sentence says evolution in the hand of God is *true*. Then I think you are saying in the second sentence that you didn't come from a monkey...I suppose by this you mean that evolution is *not true*.
I think this is a contradiction, what do you think Ezekielrage?
I personally don't think we'll ever know if it is evolution or creation or a mixture of both. I myself have more important issues in my life and in the lives of those I love that are here and now I need to worry about. Those of you with time to care about this issue, I envy you.

But you have the time to post your opinion on this issue?
There are people for whom issues like these tend to trip them up. Someone should care about that.
I will stipulate that you didn't come very far from a monkey.
..and I know it is just a way for people to shun there responsability of giving God all the praise and worship he deserves.
It never ceases to amaze me that some people think God requires praise and worship, like some vainglorious tin-pot Caesar.
What Do You Think?
I think creationists are just trying to shun grammar and spelling.
