I'm going to respond to this post as steen just did, as I think vossler is finally getting to the heart of the matter...
1,000 years ago, we thought the magic of God held the planets in orbit. Now we explain their orbits as a result of gravity. Does this mean we cannot see God at work in the process? No! We take it on faith that He is involved, now understanding of the means by which He keeps the planets revolving.
Evolution CAN be attributed to God, but not based on the evidence. There's no line of evidence for evolution that suggests "The Christian God Did This." Similarly, there's no scientific line of evidence that says our God is involved in rain, birth, or photosynthesis. But we take God's involvement on faith, just as Jesus stressed in his ministry.vossler said:But the point was that when found it couldn't be attributed to God. From everything I've heard evolution cannot be attributed to God, so if one was to search out the matter and couldn't find God in it then where does God get the glory?

The evidence may not lead you there, but a strong faith will. That's what faith is all about -- believing without seeing.If I seek God in evolution I won't find him there.
Exactly. This is why evolution, and science as a whole, cannot challenge God. Science can only make use of our minds. God lives in our hearts and souls as well as our minds.Notice it said we were to seek Him with all our heart and soul, not our mind, yet evolution doesn't come from the heart or soul but from the mind.
