We will trust the Lord.

What you mean "we," White Man?

I trust the Lord didn't plant false evidence on earth. I trust the Lord didn't make men curious to dig into the physical past liars and evildoers in opposition to Him; indeed I trust the that scientists of many disciplines are like us all made in His image, and He gives us free will and permission to explore our world and He gifts us with many things -- music, curious natures, pursuit of knowledge, all of which are vital ingredients if we want to thrive as He wants us to.

Some of all humans are flawed and wicked just like some of us non-scientists are flawed and wicked. One who would pit scientists against God and call it "truth" is engaging in falseness. I also trust the Lord when he says that truth is right and good, and if truth is that natural selection brought us to where we are today, I know that God designed it.

Harumph. "As for me and my house ..." What self-righteous prattle! Listen, ye who thinks yourself so much holier than me, the bottom line of evolution (which has nothing to do with the origin of life) is that adaptation leads to survival; fail to adapt leads to extinction, in the most hardened physical sense. We are made in God's image. God makes it very clear that either we adapt to his immutable laws or we perish, and history proves it out. I love God for showing us, telling us, through Christ and through His plain love, and for His book. And He shows us in another way, as well. Your belief that evolution somehow negates God is your own illusion.

Sorry you misunderstood my statement, Finny. My point was that whether or not evolution as taught today is true or not, whether it fits into God's plan as part of creation, or NOT, in and of itself is immaterial to me. My trust is in the Lord. And, my love for Him and my trust in Him is in no way affected by evolution's veracity or lack thereof. Evolutionary theory, as long as it does not outwardly try to diminish God's character, is unimportant, and merely an interesting point of discussion.
Also, I am sorry that you find someone's trust in the living God to be "self righteous prattle." I assure you, it is anything BUT that. It is a total and complete comfort.
