And then the worm said, "no, you guys go ahead and evolve into something else. I'll stay here and eat dirt - but don't forget this, you owe me one."

Olympia Snowe, Hillary Clinton, and others who deny Christ and His having created all things (John 1) may have evolved from a monkey and pond scum, but as for me, my wife, kids and grandbabies, we are made in the image of God!

"...are we to teach children that God is behind every hydrogen atom in electrolysis? He may be, of course. But that discussion is the province of religion, not science. The relentless attempt to confuse the two by teaching warmed-over creationism as science can only bring ridicule to religion, gratuitously discrediting a great human endeavor and our deepest source of wisdom precisely about those questions - arguably, the most important questions in life - that lie beyond the material. How ridiculous to make evolution the enemy of God. What could be more elegant, more simple, more brilliant, more economical, more creative, indeed more divine than a planet with millions of life forms, distinct and yet interactive, all ultimately derived from accumulated variations in a single double-stranded molecule, pliable and fecund enough to give us mollusks and mice, Newton and Einstein? Even if it did give us the Kansas State Board of Education, too."
Nicely said, I think. Jusy my opinion.

As Mr. Krauthammer asks, "Why should evolution be the enemy of God?".
God works in mysterious ways his wonders to achieve. Why not use evolution to create man in his own image?
To: StatenIsland
You can't have both ways, Charles. It is what it is. Admit it.

Because the Bible says he created man and woman - not that they evolved.

t is a "theory" that admits that evolution and natural selection explain such things as the development of drug resistance in bacteria and other such evolutionary changes within species, but that every once in a while God steps into this world of constant and accumulating change and says, "I think I'll make me a lemur today."
ID is not about this, as far as I know, it is about a design in evolution itself, where random mutations are not perfectly random but follow a definite strange attractor.

Which 'god'????
To: StatenIsland
As Mr. Krauthammer asks, "Why should evolution be the enemy of God?"
because God says man is sinful and a worst of beast as one which becomes worse through history....and that idea of sin violate the Marxist politicaly advantageous (but reverse evolution accelerating) idea that man is perfectible.
Animals might be, but not man says the Bible, thus validating the creation, the Word, which then gets lost.

Because - if evolution theory was right and god existed, then diversity would be devine.
That can't be tolerated. ;-)

People like this don't know their science and are atheists with an agenda that has been destroying America through political correctness, the public school system is dead because of such fools.
And they don't know the Lord God either.

"Because the Bible says he created man and woman - not that they evolved."
Created, Evolved....let's not split hairs. If God created evolution, is it any less a miracle? I'm not trying to be flip or engage in conflict here, I respect your opinion. I just find the concept of evolution and natural selection to be beautiful and stunning in it's simplicity.
God MUST have started it.
To: Just mythoughts
"Which 'god'???? "
C'mon. There's only one, and you and I both know it.
To: StatenIsland
Genesis makes it clear God created man and woman as a man and woman. If you don't believe the Bible, that is up to you. But it in no way that I can see implies humans evolved from something else.
