OK so you say that either you believe in God and no evolution or you believe in Evolution and no God? Thats ridiculous, you can believe as a matter of faith that God created evolution, evolution only deals with the physical world and explanations, God is however an answer to those of us with faith to those questions that cannot be answered.
"you can believe as a matter of faith that God created evolution,"
That is the belief of several people I know.
But of course. ...and that is precisely what the poster you responded to expressed.
More importantly, one can believe every word of mainstream evolution theory, and still realize that it offers no explanation whatsoever for how all the raw materials and energy needed for evolution arose in the first place -- which frankly is MUCH more difficult to explain. I recently read a summary of new research by top-notch physicists, who have concluded that all the matter and energy in the universe we know arose in one trillion trillionth of a second when some object the size of a marble underwent a huge explosion. Nice work, but where did that nifty marble come from?

I think that the fact that most scientists - especially in biology - today are atheists - is the reason Christians aren't willing to listen to anything they have to say.
Francis Collins admits it takes great courage to admit to being a Christian among most of his colleagues in science today. He makes that point in the audio link I'm providing beelow. He also makes this point:
"You can't reason yourself all the way to faith. You can get there to the sense that faith is more plausible than atheism, and I would argue that atheism is the least rational of all choices because that assumes that you know enough to assume the possibility of God." [end quote]

Talk of the Nation, August 4, 2006 · Can a world class scientist also be a devout Christian? Some big names in science say "absolutely." But balancing a scientific career with religious beliefs does involve some challenges.
