Well, then you and I are kinda on the same page then Romanov.
I also do not believe in a one-day creation of Adam...and...lots of fundies might be offended by this...but I don't believe the Bible is to be interpreted literally. I don't believe there was ever any Adam, nor Eve, nor Eden, nor fruit from the tree of knowledge of good/evil, etc. I think all of that is completely symbolic in nature.
I do, however, believe that there is some kind of guiding force (God). I don't necessarily know what part I believe it played in evolution...nor can I really take a stand on what hand It took in designing everything. There's a huge part of me that sees the miracle of complexity within life as not necessarily something that needed a divine guiding hand - but rather the end result of necessity built upon the countless other iterations that failed.
Ya know?
I think that when it boils down to it - what we'll eventually find is that "life" itself is simply the consumption/conversion of carbon energy. It's simply a chemical reaction. Living creatures (whether it be plants, animals, or whatever) are just variations of a theme which exists to prolong the chemical reaction.
