I will go along with that but what i meant was the fact that God gave no other creature except man the ability to invent a way to fly.

Actually i have some problem as the stupid phrase goes of chewing gum and walking at the same time with out trying to figure out the whys and means of existence.

The Bible is enough for me even though i do not see creation as some do, that is that God created every thing in six of our literal days, and i do not believe the Bible tells us that.

People who do no thinking for them selves either believe or do not believe what some one else tells them the scriptures mean.

Meaning that if i took some one elses word that the bible said that God created the world and every thing in it in six of our literal days i most likely would not believe it and so would not believe in the Bible.

In fact i experienced that very thing but i went to the Bible and soon saw that it does not say six literal days at all.

I have no argument against evolution being a part of the creation but evolution in itself just leaves a black hole for me.

Agreed, but with your indulgence, I'll rehearse some important points here: first, we don't believe in God because of evolution or despite evolution -- evolution has no bearing one way or another on our belief (or non-belief) in God.

For an analogy, consider the scientific theory of gravity, Earth revolving around the Sun.
People believed in God (or didn't) before they discovered gravity, and afterwards too -- it had no serious effect on Faith.
Evolution theory should be the same -- it's interesting to learn, and certainly shows us that God's plan for the Universe included us from the very beginning.
That seems to me pretty good news.

Second, if you think about what the Bible says, first of all it clearly tells us that a God-day is not the same as a man-day, is much longer and indeed, can be as long as God wishes it to be.
Third of all, and even more important, it tells us that God didn't just magically "abracadabra" the Universe as we see it today into existence, but rather that He worked hard on it for six long days.
And, He worked on it one step at a time, such that, for example, life could not be created until the pre-conditions were established.

Finally, the Bible clearly says that we came from the "dust of the ground"!
So, tell me, in what way does that conflict with evolution?
