[Don'tMessWithTexas]

The Bible says that God created the earth, firmament, seas, animals and formed man out of the dust of the earth. If one embraces that method, one has embraced a religious viewpoint. If one rejects God's personal involvement in the creation of the universe and man, believes that the Genesis account is figurative language and that evolution was God's instrument, that is more than adoption of a scientific theory. It is a view of God and what He did or did not do. Hence, it is a religious viewpoint.

The Bible says that God created the earth, firmament, seas, animals and formed man out of the dust of the earth. If one embraces that method, one has embraced a religious viewpoint. If one rejects God's personal involvement in the creation of the universe and man, believes that the Genesis account is figurative language and that evolution was God's instrument, that is more than adoption of a scientific theory. It is a view of God and what He did or did not do. Hence, it is a religious viewpoint.Yes, my view that God created the world and evolution was one of his tools is a religious viewpoint. The TEACHING of that tool, evolution, does not require someone else to believe that viewpoint. Athiets can also agree with evolution. Evolution is not a religious viewpoint. It is a scientific theory.
