I think evolution is something of a cult. It requires a leap of faith to accept it. No one can drag the theory into the lab and submit it to the scientific method to prove it's validity. This isn't so much a criticism, as a statement of fact. But the "Darwinists" take it as a criticism. It's plain that Darwin's theory of the rise of species has been used by many for over a hundred years to attack belief in the Bible. When used for this purpose, evolution ceases to be an explanation of origins, and becomes a soapbox in a war of religious viewpoints.
My opinion about evolution is that it is the best explanation that man has been able to come up with to explain the origin of species, without God.

I absolutely and whole heartedly agree with and share your sentiments when you made the above statements. My only regret is I didn't think of them first.
I do have good news for all of you, I mean besides saving a bunch of money on my car insurance with Geico, God is one day going to irrefutably and undeniably answer the question once and for all how we got here in front of us all. He already has in the Bible, but what I mean is, He will show us with our own eyes to see His miracle of life created.

If it hadn't already been submitted to the scientific method, it wouldn't be called "teory".

You misspelled "ignorantly mistaken as an attack of belief in the Bible". Hope this helps.

Most people who believe that the theory of evolution is an attack on the Bible are those who don't understand the theory. There is nothing in the theory of evolution that contradicts the Bible. Evolution only contradicts a literal interpretation of the Bible. A literal interpretation has its own problems, however. Just read the differing geneologies of Jesus in the first chapters of two of the Gospels, for example. (Sorry, I can't remember which two these were in)

I think evolution is something of a cult. It requires a leap of faith to accept it. And creationism doesn't?? Thanks for the laugh.
