Podkane...at the end of your post #7 you stated, "Good thing for the universe that the Creator wasn't as mentally limited as this crowd"....Thank you for saying that....It was something I had thought for a long time, but was just too timid to post...I had always thought that those who insisted on Creationism, or ID, and would refuse to explore other avenues, had put God in a box...they had tried to limit God by granting Him only their way of doing of things...I find those who accept evolution to be much more open minded....I just dont find evolution to be in competition with the Bible, or in conflict with God...evolution and natural selection may very well be Gods own way of 'creation'...
PatrickHenry...if you have a ping list, I would appreciate being put on it...this is my first post ever on an evolution thread, and will probably be my last...I just dont have the expertise that many of the posters have, and feel my input would probably be rudimentary and perhaps to some, just plain silly...
But I would like to be on the ping list, as I do enjoy reading these threads, contemplating everyone elses input(people from both sides, both evolution and ID, are of interest to me), and making my own decisions...
Thanks...
"I just dont find evolution to be in competition with the Bible, or in conflict with God...evolution and natural selection may very well be Gods own way of 'creation'... "
That's exactly my point of view. One does not have to "choose" between creation and evolution; they can coexist peacefully.
Relax, mom. I don't have any expertise either. But it doesn't take all that much when dealing with creationists.
Welcome to the monkey house. Do not worry about your posts, there is enough information at Darwin Central via PatrickHenry's List-O-Links that you will get up to speed quickly. You might also pop over to talkorigins.org.
