“I believe the evidence, and because I’m a Christian, I believe Scripture, which in many many many ways contradicts the theory of evolution. Someone who believes in Jesus can’t believe in evolution — what He believed and spoke directly contradicts the theory.”
I agree completely. In fact, people make me really mad when I tell them my theory and they laugh at me. Here’s my theory. People have told me it is impossible for someone to sneak into my room at night, leaving no evidence whatsoever of breaking and entering, and reach under my pillow, remove the tooth I lost, replace it with some cash, and then leave just as quietly as she entered. I don’t care what they say, because I was once told by people I trust completely (my parents) that there really is a Tooth Fairy. So I know how you feel — I say we just let those phony junk science types tell their lies all they want. No pointy headed intellectuals are going to talk me out of my leap of faith in the Tooth Fairy.
Your post is an excellent example of how the discussion of creationism/evolution has devolved. Instead of approaching this reasonably, scientifically, you mock God. And that is the crux of the entire issue — your rejection of creationism/ID (and embracing of evolution) is the result of your antipathy toward God, and not because of any factual/scientific reasons.
Thank you for illustrating my argument. I pray that you soon see the foolishness of hating your Creator, a Creator who has made a way for you to become reconciled with Him.
My dad is the Tooth Fairy. I saw him take the tooth out from under my pillow and slip in a dollar bill. I told him I know all about it and he just wanted to make sure I didn't reveal his identity in public (you don't know my name, right?). If you tell me where you live, I'll make sure he gives you two dollars the next time he comes to your house for a tooth from your pillow.
