I believe the first two but don't understand the third.
How does God fit in with evolution? Did he start the process i.e. a form of creation? Did the process start without God's involvement? If so was God surprised?

Do you believe that semiconductor physics works and produces devices for the storage and processing of information?
Do you believe that relativity and dynamics allow us to model the physical world and devices utlising these theories allow GPS positioning to work?
Do you believe that organic chemistry and the concepts of nucleophillic substitution allow us to manufacture plastics and detergents?
If so - why is it as stretch to believe biological evolution describes how the observed diversity of organisms on this planet came to be?
I believe the first two but don't understand the third.

Now ask yourself why cherry pick some and ignore others?
Also what was confusing about #3? Do you believe organic chemistry theory works and produces products via that understanding?
How does he fit in modern organic chemistry or relativity theory? How does he not fit in evolution?
Why such an objection to one facet of scientific thought and yet no problems with others?
Cherry pick? Why the agression?
What objection? My questions are genuine! I made no 'objections'.
I give up. People here do not want to help someone who really wants to understand. What a joke! Bye bye

It is the same with evolution. You are essentially asking where God is in evolution.
Some will tell you that evolution is random - and it is really the sum result of a whole lot of events that are by themselves random, even though the whole has a meaningful direction.
Some will tell you that evolution is not random - it is directed by natural selection and by the adaptation of species to their environment.
But whether you accept one or the other, the fact is that God is still present. Let me be a bit philosophical for a moment - suppose that per imposibile, God ceased to exist tomorrow (whatever that means). Would the universe still exist? The Christian answer has been no - the universe depends squarely on God for its creation and every moment of its existence. You cannot figure out how God works in it precisely because you can never exclude God from it. God is everywhere and sustains everything through the power of His Word, by which it was created and for which it exists to glorify. And if evolution is a part of this creation, whether it is caused by random chance or directed by the environment within creation, it still exists at the mercy of God and to the glorification of God.
If you can not or do not want to assume the best about posts, it is totally possible that debate forums just are not for you. That is no problem, some people just do not transfer from spoken communication to written communication very easily.

Considering that science has exposed indirect evidence for the Big Bang, and most scientists accept the theory of evolution as a sound explanation as to how we got here, the notion that God created the Big Bang and evolution is more probable than the notion that God created everything as stated in Genesis. Genesis 1, afterall, appears to be completely allegory in nature.
But you see... what all true Christians already know, is that God purposefully and deliberately turned the laws of nature upside-down in order to create the world exactly as it is described in Genesis 1. So, what may look like allegory to the unsaved eye is actually a factual, word for word description. To suggest otherwise is to render the entire Bible meaningless...
And anyway, all scientists are Atheists trying to disprove the Bible, Darwin recanted on his deathbed, Evolution created communism, which is a bad thing, and therefore must be false, and...umm... Satan planted all those fossils.
P.S....
You do know sarcasm doesn't translate well into text, and not everybody would catch the winky smiley as a sarcasm mark (I usually don't)...
It seems the OP really is gone, but this post would probably have really confused somebody so new to internet conversations.

What is a true christian? But anyway Why would God have to turn the laws of Naure upside-down in order to do what he has to do? Dosen't make sense to me. All powerful but needs to change the laws to be in command? Hmmm... Makes you wonder.
Saying all scientist are atheist is a BAD thing. And also stereotype!! Do you really have to put lables on people to defend your religion?And if you want someone to disprove the Bible talk to me. But even if you do you really wouldn't listen anyway.
P.S. I guess that you can say Communism died decades ago so it's a good thing... thanks to evolution.

What do you mean by saying, "And if you want someone to disprove the Bible talk to me..."? I know the Bible is not self-validating, but you can't prove it to be false, can you? If you could disprove the Resurrection, now, that would be somethin.'
Why?
And again, what do you mean by this:
"And if you want someone to disprove the Bible talk to me."
