Why not post a book next time? Who has time to read all of this?

One comment: The bible is the root of protestant creationist theory. Evolutionary theory is atheistic in its origins.

It seems in Russia, evolution has reached the "religion" status that it has in the United STates, where honest inquiry is not allowed, where no one dare question it lest they incur the wrath of the high priest gatekeepers of the faith, where atheism has become the de facto state religion of the United States government (just check the gupament schools' curriculum for proof), which is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment. Thank goodness Russia has some sense; but, then again, they have seen the results of mindless evolutionary theory - 50 million dead!

Views and opinions of radical creationists can not be accepted because they use scientific data in an arbitrary and non-objective way, by which they produce fair objections from those who are professionally involved in science. There is a real danger here that a biologist, having read some arrogant creationist book, will apply the word "rubbish" to Christianity in general.

Yeah right. Tell that to the scores of Christian scientists who made almost all of science's biggest discoveries (Newton, Kepler, Maxwell, Lord Kelvin, etc. etc. etc.), and they did it somehow without believing in evolutionary theory. Quite a feat!

Evolutionary biologists and other atheistic scientists are the ones whose science cannot tbe trusted - they are not even brethren. The operate on a false premise - that God doesn't exist - philosphical atheism. They are anti-Christs (as is anyone who denies that Jesus is the Christ - see book of 1John).

Good piece, worth careful reading. This fits more or less my view of the matter, which is that creation is not yet complete and continues to this day... and that evolution and its various competing theories are arguments about tools in the tool bag. The Bible reveals to us that God did certain things; science attempts to figure out "how" he did it.

I have personally never seen any automatic conflict between the notion that God created the earth and the scientists' attempt to understand the mechanics and underlying principles of creation. My understanding, in fact, is that God commands us to try and learn the underlying principles.

It is written in the Bible that God made man from clay. If He did it using evolution who are we to make fuss about it?

Without the guiding Reason, evolution by itself would lead nowhere.

Excellent article, jb6!!! Have just scanned it quickly, but will be meditating it further. Thank you so much for posting it!

A contrary view.

If science ever definitively proves there is no G-d (chas vechalilah!), there will be members of the ancient liturgical religions who will rush to claim that their traditions "knew this all along."
