OK, here's one for the creationists. I keep seeing posts along the lines of 'Evolution ain't fact, period' and, from unworthyone yesterday,
"Evolution (the deity) would have to come up from hell and slap me in the face."
So what is your opinion about the thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of evolutionary biologists worldwide? They are studying this every day. They make their living off of trying to find some fault with the theory (none have yet succeeded). A huge number of these evolutionary biologists are probably Christians. You don't think so? Then have a look at the web page for Baylor Baptist college in Texas, especially this listing of undergraduate Biology courses:
http://www3.baylor.edu/Biology/Undergrad/Courses.html
Partway down the page is this, one of several courses that teach evolution:
4365 Topics in Evolution: Processes which establish or eliminate variation in populations and how these mechanisms effect biological diversity.
A bit earlier is this course:
3429 Comparative Chordate Anatomy: Structural, functional, and evolutionary relationships of the chordates, particularly vertebrates.
Hop on over to the web page for Southern Methodist University, at http://www2.smu.edu/biology/ and we find this:
3303. Evolution.
5320. Viruses and Molecular Evolution.
5320. Viruses and Molecular Evolution.
Examination of the prebiotic world and the current theories on the evolution of invasive elements, such as plasmids, transposons, mobile introns and viruses, including HIV. Prerequisites: BIOL 4321 or 4322.
5366. Vertebrate Origins and Evolution (GEOL 5366).
OK, that is just two of many Christian colleges that teach evolution.
OK, what about churches themselves? On this page we have a whole list of churches (most of them Christian) with statements supporting the teaching of evolution as sound science. This list includes:
The Lutheran World Federation
United Methodist Church
The General Convention of the Episcopal Church
United Presbyterian Church In The USA
OK, so answers? Is it a big evil conspiracy by all those scientists? If so, how can so many of the scientists be Christians themselves? And how can so many Christian churches come out in support of evolution as sound science?
I want answers!
