Hello? Who said most Christians do not take such as is?

The last time I read my highschool biology textbook on evolution, it said "in the beginning there was a cosmic explosion, caused by such and such particles because of such and such properties, because of such and such dimensional workings". Not once did it say "God".

Who is to say God did not desin Earth to look 4.5 odd billion years old? Amazing how evolution removes such theories from the picture.

Auri, I would be very surprised if your high school Biology textbook listed a cause for the Big Bang. That subject is the basis for some of the most advanced Theoretical Physics that exists.

No it didn't.

"Not once did it say "God"."

Name just ONE scientific theory that does.

"Who is to say God did not desin Earth to look 4.5 odd billion years old?"

Anybody who doesn't worship a trickster, lying God.

Since abiogensis is not usually discussed in Biology class, I am not surprised. The Big Bang has never been introduced in any biology text used in a public school I have ever seen. Please provide a link to the passage about the Big Bang introduced as part of TToe.

Not once did it say "God". The fact that the textbooks are silent on God's intervention is because we don't teach Religion as a factual subject in public school (that pesky 1st Amendment). As I said, that doesn't make it God-LESS, it makes it God-NUETRAL. God isn't mentioned in Archeology, Astronomy, Chemics, Physics or anywhere else His presence might have contributed to.

Do you really want to have every Creation Myth spelled out in every science class? It would take a hundred years to get out of High School!

That's not a "theory." You don't know what a "theory" is, do you? To posit such a guess (it doesn't even rise to "hyposthesis") tells us you don't know anything about science.

So, lets look at the tale of the tape:

You should quit while you are behind.

That is Cosmology not Evolution.

Of course not. Science doesn't address the God question - theology and philosophy do.
