Check their forums; it's been a while since I've been over there. I don't think they have a document on it, though.

Just because they do it doesn't mean that they evolved to do so. We don't need atheists like you here.

I have a question. Is there a conservative position on evolution?

If you follow these threads, you will see that there are quite a few of them.

aa ...

4. There is nothing good about evolution. Nothing evolves - period. Even diseases. It's all nonsense, as I just mentioned.

Yeah, look at how accurate polls are, for one.

Polls are raw data, not statistics. Statistics is a formal mathematical discipline not normally considered in the least questionable. Algebra can't vouch for the data it is applied to, and neither can statistics.

"We don't need atheists like you here."

FR is a discussion place of ideas for EVERYONE to amiably explore concepts. Keep your exclusionary comments to yourself.

Fossils don't show ANY transitional species but maybe this computer program with fix that too.

Same old threads, same old lies.

Just because they do it doesn't mean that they evolved to do so.

And lacking evidence otherwise, that doesn't make it a poor bet that they didn't.

We don't need atheists like you here.

I'm not an athiest, and I belong here at least as much as someone who thinks statistics is a discredited science.

"Polls are raw data, not statistics."

Yes, but polls are *statistics* applied on top of the raw data. And unless you're expecting that everyone who is lying, it's the "statistics" that are wrong. Just in the same way that they try to use statistics to "prove" evolution. It's all pseudoscience.

"I'm not an atheist"

Then why are you supporting evolution? Do you not believe in the Bible?

Indeed there is. It's the same as the conservative position on gravity. Or the solar system. Or relativity.

If ya can't find the fossils, rig a computer program to "prove" your theory.

The fossils do exist. The evolution of the horse from a species of small, forest dwelling omnivores to a species of large plans dwelling herbivores is confirmed by the fossil record.

I don't have a problem with God using science to get us where he wants us to go. I am secure that the Almighty uses His many powers at hand to form Creation.

That's not what the bible says. Read genesis. It's quite clear. And if you start saying "Well, that's just an analogy...", what parts of the bible CAN you believe?

You're not alone in equating evolution with atheism. Many have that disorder, notwithstanding loads of testimony from theistic evolutionists to the contrary.
