" I do not believe He has a physical body...but our essence, all that makes us who we are, has come from Him. And most likely these are the thoughts which allow me to embrace evolution. "

I have been on these threads quite a while and have read many explanations of how some claim to reconcile evolution and the Bible, and I must say that this is the only one I have seen that rings true. I really think that you have thought the matter out quite deeply.

However, are you aware that evolution is a totally materialistic theory and is an attack on religion? Are you comfortable with supporting a theory which implicitly denies God and is constantly used to attack those who believe in God?

Genuine, impartial observations made to understand the physical world are just that...observations. Humans unfortunately can and do foster individual agendas, from both sides of the debate. I am comfortable supporting impartial observations and interpretations of both Scripture and the physical realm, but I most definitely do not support the use of same in attacking either camp.
