Bump for detailed reading later. Some good points there, especially the last. Many religious people accept evolution in some form. I personally believe in Theistic Evolution.

I’ve never seen any contradiction in finding that the theory of natural selection explains how life evolved on Earth, and that this is the method by which God achieved His purposes.

I also don’t think that Charles Darwin should be held responsible for so-called Social Darwinism which Nazis and Communists espoused to justify mass murder. He didn’t invent that.

Same here. I believe in the Biblical Creation, but believe that evolution does go on around us as a result of man’s corruption of paradise.

That isn’t the point of the film...it is about how people are silenced.

It isn’t about religion. It is true many people are theistic evolutionists.

I personally think some of the evidence for evolution is strong and some other evidence could actually point in the direction of intelligent design, but regardless, God is involved.

The theory of evolution has absolutely no place for God, you are holding to a really bastardized version of nothingness, it’s the biggest cop out of all. The true evolutionist has no room for anything like “theistic evolution”, the very term itself implies ignorance of either argument.
