A Baptist preacher had a valuable friend who was a biologist. One day at lunch, the biologist claimed he was so excited because after 25 years of research, he had discovered the 5 major elements in the universe:

Time
Force
Energy
Space
Matter

The Preacher started laughing and said, "Well, that's too bad, because you could have saved yourself those 25 years if you had just read the first line of the Bible. It says:

In the beginning - TIME
God - FORCE
created - ENERGY
the heavens - SPACE
and the earth - MATTER

You can save yourself and your friends a lot of trouble. I do not nor will I EVER believe in evolution. I may be a lot of things, but I'm not ignorant about GOD!

Frankly, I don't give a rip what you believe. I believe God!

Goodbye!!

And many who support evolution, also believe God and are not ignorant of God...we may not believe your personal interpretation of the Bible tho, and that is truly what this comes down to...We may not buy into your particular notion of God tho...

Millions of people do support evolution, and believe God...that is evident on this thread, and is evident in real life as well...

So, when in doubt, just trust in ignorance?

Stubborn and ignorant is no way to go through life.

Look, if you have to distort the actual tenets of science that badly -- i.e. if you have just make it up as you go along like this and have a "scientist" making a claim that no scientist actually makes -- then obviously the conclusion to your "parable" is so weak you have to "fudge" the answer to make it come out the way you like.

Sad.

Come back when you've got enough knowledge of the topic to be able to discuss the subject on its actual merits, you'll find that people might take you more seriously for a change.
