I'm curious; what would have to be proven or disproven for you to question evolution? Or is it possible to shake your belief in evolution? This question requires no response, just a thought on the topic.

No problem. I'm glad to respond.

It would take a huge amount of contrary evidence in many different disciplines. I'm sure you're about to send me one of the many of the list-o-links on Creationism, or ID, or whichever non-Evolutionary bent you happen to be on. You needn't bother. Been there, done that.

The fact is that there are a great many disagreements between denominations over religious issues. Important issues. This is proof that humans can't possibly read the same Bible and understand the same things.

Religious people have no leg to stand on vs. Evolution when it comes to poking holes in each others understanding of the world. There is far more agreement among scientists over Evolution than there is among religious people about God.

That's not to say that I'm not a believer myself. But I am humble enough not to pontificate about EXACTLY what some chapter in the Bible means.

Particularly when the subject of Creation isn't that important to begin with.

Don't have the links...wouldn't send 'em.

Just a question of thought, that's all. It usually does take pretty strong evidence to shatter someone's belief system, whether it be scientific or theological.

After we determine our beliefs, we tend to doubt or dismiss evidence to the contrary, as is our nature. Evolutionists and Creationists share this in common.
