"...but the rest of your language shows me that you believe in most of the doctrines of evolution"

Yes, that's correct. Over the last 50 years or so I've seen, heard, and read enough data to convince me that the theory of evolution is most likely correct. But, I don't know the *final truth* about it any more than anyone else does. Anyone who claims to have the *final truth* about such things is a fool or is delusional, or maybe a closed minded fanatic. Both science and religion have lots of fools and fanatics.

There's a whole lot of gaps in the data and a whole lot of unanswered questions - for me at least. Some folks claim to have it all figured out, but I sure don't. I accept a lot of scientific data based on the volume and depth of research that went in to it, and wonder about the rest. I instinctively reject the Poof Theory since no one has ever produced a shred of evidence to support it, that I'm aware of. Maybe you could direct me to such proof, hmmmm?

Having been an atheist evolutionist I know that no argument will change that opinion. But I changed.

The Bible even says that if your dead close relative comes back from the dead and warns you to believe, you will still not believe. Belief in the "foolishness" of the gospel does not happen because of a natural process of hearing both sides and concluding that the biblical answer makes the most sense.
