Before the theory most people believed that God had created.

This statement raises an interessting question. If we used to belive in the creation described in genisis, we did we switch to evolution?

Maybe because as we discovered more of earth and the animal kingdom we learned that life on our planet is not static but ever changing? We found fossils of animals which dont exist anyomre and we found animals living today with a short past, that is a "young species". The answer to these question are not written down in the bible but in the genetic code and the enviroment acting upon it.

If we want to know more about the world around us, if we want to satisfy our (god given?) curiosity we just have to look around and sometimes dig through dirt and we may know the answers someday. Or maybe not. Sitting around reading through the bible may be good for spiritual matters, but not if want to learn more about such mundane things as physics or biology.

Creation/God...Christianity---secular-govt.-humanism/SCIENCE---CIVILIZATION!

Originally the word liberal meant social conservatives(no govt religion--none) who advocated growth and progress---mostly technological(knowledge being absolute/unchanging)based on law--reality... UNDER GOD---the nature of GOD/man/govt. does not change. These were the Classical liberals...founding fathers-PRINCIPLES---stable/SANE scientific reality/society---industrial progress...moral/social character-values(private/personal) GROWTH!

Evolution...Atheism-dehumanism---TYRANNY...

Then came the SPLIT SCHIZOPHRENIA/America---
