"Believe it or not, I support Christianity. I think there needs to be more Christians, not less. Which is exactly why I'm fighting this creationism/ID stuff."

I'm glad to see you "support Christianity" but believing the Bible which is the heart of it seems to be too much to ask.

I have to scratch my head in awe that you can throw out Genesis and other books at will that state God created all we see and don't see. I'm also not impressed with the human yardstick you apply to Him in creation. The evidence also DOES point to Him as the Creator.

The point is not whether God created the universe. The point is HOW He created it.

Genesis is really unclear about the HOW, and if Genesis is so hard to fathom that it needs web sites and books to explain it to me, then obviously it's not a very clear text. And why should I believe in one particular humans interpretation over another? If the Bible is God's word, then if that word isn't enough, then you're just out of luck.

Evolution does not explain that God did not create the world. It just explains how he Evolved the species. That's it. End of theory.

What, exactly, in Genesis causes you to oppose Evolution so much?

By the way, most of the effort I've made here to point out problems with believing the Bible are an effort to make people think about what would happen when this discussion hits high schools nationwide. And, to make them think about exactly why they believe what they believe about Evolution, because I really don't see what the problem is between Evolution and the Bible.
