You are calling people who believe that dangerous, because no one who believes that also believes that these humans created in God's image descended from apes.

Actually, a great number of Christians, Jews and ather religious people believe Evolution was God's tool. The Pope, for instance.

The danger occurs when Creationists force secular government schools to teach Creationism side-by-side with Evolution. Those kinds of schoolroom discussions quickly descend to asking whether God exists at all. THAT is dangerous, in that young children may make up their mind for a lifetime that God doesn't exist because of a decision made in that secular classroom.

Religious people can disarm this danger by first teaching children that there are no conflicts between science and Genesis. Problem solved. Those children, perhaps of non-believing parents, are then open to learn of God with no artificial stumbling block called Creationism.

I don't know what denomination you are, but I know of none that says you have to believe in a specific interpretation of those first two chapters in Genesis. I see nothing wrong with believing that "God did it", and just leave it at that.

Yes, abosolutly, Man is special. Genesis says that. But Genesis doesn't say what molecules God manipulated over how many years and with what tool boxes. Genesis doesn't even say God created the molecules first. Molecules and Evolution are the small unimportant details.

Unfortunately evolution is not compatable with Christianity. Death entered the world by Adam's sin, and evolution puts death billions of year prior to Adam.

You are misrepresenting the Pope's views on evolution. I suggest you read an earlier post of mind regarding Catholics in Kansas.
