[The depth however, I must concede, does include all the counterfeit religions found in the world today. Gold tinted with worthless alloys. Tinted to the point of being unrecognizable. Tinted to the point where again by man's free will, and lack of searching from a shipwrecked heart, he becomes as far off course as those purporting evolution.]
I can't disagree with this as far as morality and ethics goes with regard to "true" religion, but I don't include the topic of evolution versus creationism in the realm of ethics or morality. As a scientific theory, it's morally neutral.
[TRUTH does exist and can be found if one searches for it with all their heart. Not accepting counterfeits along the way. With a willingness to bend and flow where TRUTH leads them.]
That's my philosophy and it's led me to conclude that evolution best explains the diversity of species, regardless of how some have hijacked the theory to support their own political beliefs even to the point of using it as an excuse for genocide.
There are many possible theories concerning the creation of the species that are very plausible...even including Darwin.
Could God have created exactly as outline in Genesis "and" could Dinosaurs have lived millions of years before Adam? The answer in one paradigm is yes.
God is the author of life, but also of all visible and invisible. Time is part of creation (God lives outside of created time...for that matter all that is created). Like throwing a rock into a lake, God could create and time unravel forward and backward as the ripple of the pond. From any perspective there is a real point of creation, but this does not have to be the same as what we see as the beginning of the timeline. To Adam, confined in time, he can only see along the timeline.
Again, only one paradigm that both can exist...but there are many others.
But, by fighting like ants on an anthill over intellectual superiority we miss the real meaning of life.
