No one “believes” in evolution, though some incorrectly use that term. Evolution is not a belief system but a valid scientific theory with all of the attributes of such a theory. Creationism should not be taught in science classes because, unlike evolution, it is not science. It is a religious belief based on a certain interpretation of Genesis that is not universally accepted.
Evolution does not preclude the existence of G-d.

The Empty Tomb

It's interesting that both pictures omit the person who is allegedly the solution.

The symbolism is obvious enough; it's just amusing that the man himself I should be listening to is represented by his conspicuous absence.

His absence from his tomb is what makes him unique.

Aren't we all unique?
We have features that are unique but unique means the only one of its kind unlike anything else. You can split hairs over that but I think you know what I mean.

You listened to Him at one time in your life too, didn't you?

Believe me -- he does.

Some people try to cast stumbling blocks before us.

I won't speak for @BPPLEE, but why would I cast a stumbling block in front of a pothole?

I'd prefer you to sort your problems out rather than fall back on such drastic measures.

Does it really hurt you so much that not everyone thinks USA is perfect? Are you blind to the problems your country has, or are you just so unaware of the rest of the world that you don't realise USA has problems that other countries don't have?

Not enough that I wouldn't want to visit us.

Is every country that isn't perfect a third-world intellectual country?

Or are there exceptions you're willing to visit?

Odd how it is always "brilliant" svientists who reject
evolution.
Not so odd that nobody has ever come up with data to
disprove evolution.

So why do any scientists " reject" it?

Not for scientific reasons, as noted.
The reason is always religious.


Example: a Dr. K Wise, PhD paleontology!
".....even if all the evicence turns against YEC, I will still be YEC,
as that is what the bible seems to indicate."

He openly admits the evidence goes against him.
He knows theres no disproof of ToE; if he found it, he would
win a Nobel and be a great YEC hero.

Believe / disbelieve the bible, any aspect of science as
it may suit, its everyone' s right.

To think that the work of any scientist or philosopher
disproves the theory of evolution, though, is just foolishness.

I already told you I have visited. I just have no interest in living or working there.
