Saying that, I can't resist these evolution threads sometimes because it is always so doggone entertaining.

Same here. Lots of fun watching people try to reconcile their beliefs with known science. Some, like you and I, agree that God created evolution. Others are so stuck on their beliefs that they can't see past the covers of their Bible. Others, who believe strictly in evolution, can't give God any credit. It's fun to watch.

I would have to agree, but for a slightly different reason.

If you look at the underlying current in each point of view, you will see that the discussion is a thin veil over the real issue: morality.

If the creationists are right, then there is a God who can and does make a moral claim on our lives.

If the evolutionists are right, then NO ONE can make a moral claim on our lives.

When I see these debates, THAT is what I see being discussed.

2 cents.

Sometimes I take an active part. Other times it's funner just to sit back and watch. I actually believe that God inspires certain scientists--no he does not talk to them directly or anything like that, but he probably does provide the inspiration for certain ideas. I certainly give God credit for a lot of things that happen to me or that I accomplish (good that is:).
