We knock ideology posing as science which is what evolution is.In fact, to call evolution a science is an insult to science.
Are you willing to say the same about creationism?
As to our theory of how life began and all the life in it, read the Bible. The answer to your question is there. It is not an atheistic/materialist explanation but the answer is there.
I was waiting for this sentiment to come out...Sir, before you make accusations (I realize you didn't actually say it, but we all know what you meant) you should know something about who you are talking about. You cannot fathom that a Christian can believe in evolution can you? I am not an athiest. As for being a materialist, aren't we all? Unless you are Amish, which I doubt is the case.
Now, as for the Bible, do you take it literally? Word for word? Do you follow it's teaching to the letter?

I did not accuse you of being an atheist. I said that evolution is an atheistic/materialistic ideology. Interestingly, except for the atheistic part, you have no problem with my statement. You should think about it a lot more if you are a Christian. Ideologies are substitutes for religion. The materialism I speak of is philosophical materialism, not buying big expensive cars. It denies there being a God also. Are you confortable with that? Are you confortable with being on the same side as the atheists Haeckel, Huxley, Dawkings and Gould? Don't you think that with folk like that on the side of evolution you should at least look a little more closely at what you are supporting?

If you're a Christian that means you beleive in God and automatically creation--only...no matter how God accomplished it.

Creationism via God--"evolution" right?

That isn't complicated...

and likewise...

an atheist can not believe in creation either---only evolution!

You have to be crazy--in two non communicating pieces to be both---opposites!

No right--no wrong--no sense...atheism/secular humanism---EVOLUTION.

Creationism cancels out the relevance of evolution unless you collect/trade Christmas wrapping paper--ribbons--boxes?

Completely unless you are in the paper-rags--bones--scrap business!
