Okay, so if I'm understanding correctly, Jay, you rectify the two by not caring about what actually happened in terms of the details - which sounds like a good way of avoiding the whole debate in terms of the actual mechanisms involved (not necessarily a bad thing). Question: When you say there was a large emphasis on evolution, and that you believe it, do you mean you actually believe that we came about as the result of a random process whereby changes in allele frequency due to chance and natural selection resulted in the emergence of our species? Or do you mean rather that you believe that God is directing the whole process (in which case we're no longer talking about the process of macroevolution that most biologists etc. subscribe to)?
Do I beleive that human beings, and all life on earth came from one single celled organism millions and millions of years ago? I grant that this is hard for me to admit, but if it is so, I really don't care. I guess by the principle of I-forget-what-its-called (anything happening today was happening yesterday and so on) I do as that is the most convincing evidence that has been presented to me. This really isn't something I spend a great deal of time thinking about. I prefer to think about people alive today, how I might be able to help them and show them love.
Is God directing the process or is it random? I couldn't say, nor do I care terribly, I guess I'll just have to ask God someday. In the end I don't feel that this has anything to do with the core of my faith.
