Me: You can't have it both ways. One contradicts the other . . .
You: Where personal beliefs are concerned you can have it any way you want. Evolution and theism can easily be reconciled in one's head. Most people seem to prefer a little of both.
Me: Sure you can believer whatever you like - no doubt about that but is it rational to believe that two opposing doctrines are true at the same time? Does the law of nontracdiction ring a bell? Both opposing doctrines can NOT be true at the same time and this is the problem "theists" that believe in evolution run into.
You can rationalize anything you like in your head but does it make sense? Opposing theories or hypotheses can not both be true at the same time.
Most people have it wrong and since when is there "truth" in numbers? LOL! We can both look down the corridors of history and see where the majority got is very wrong.
The problem with all of this is that the Bible is quite clear that He SPOKE creation into existence in six, twenty-four hour days. The Hebrew is VERY clear on that. Any Orthodox Rabbi will vouch for that. It didn't take billions or millions of years. Also note that death occurred BEFORE man evolved and the "order" of evolution and how all "originated" - NONE of it reconciles with what God says and what evolutionists claim defies genuine science. There is no way in the world that you can have sophisticated life forms just happen. You do not have order our of chaos as determined by evolution. So you see there are MANY problems with evolution and what the Bible clearly states. What is a comfort to me is that science supports the Creation view - so it's not just a "religious" view whereas evolution is a faith in no god at all.
In conclusion, many are confused. They don't know their Bible and accept peer pressure from the Biologists and other atheists to lead them away from truth - Biblical and genuine science. Evolutionists are no different than liberals - they have NO tolerance for another view and scream bloody murder when they don't get their way and resort to lies and slander to their critics. There is no low too low for an evolutionist to go to. Surely even you have seen the headlines on the intolerance of evolutionist and their minions. As for me, I don't get all perturbed over people believing in tooth fairies as adults ... the evidence is there too, that they don't exist. So would I spend oodles of time arguing with adults that insist on believing this? No! Nor do I spend oodles of time with adults that insist on believing in godless evolution which genuine science also rejects. The scientific evidence is there for people who wish to see it and accept it.

"Evolutionists are no different than liberals "
Scientists think. Liberals and creationists don't. The similarities seem to be between creationists and liberals.
