Madman, I don't think conservatives who choose to believe the theory(?) of evolution are necessarily stupid or immoral....exactly. It may be more a case in which they allow themselves to be "taken in", as it were, by mouthy academics who are determined to make their "bandaided" theory work in order to "cut God off at the knees". When you do this, you are saying, in effect, that you trust this mouthy academic more than you trust God and the account of creation He presents in Book of Genesis. You are ascribing a higher level of confidence to the flim flam theory of evolution and its apostles and you are
accusing God of lying. I wouldn't want to place myself in that position based on the flimsy story the evolutionists have to offer.

Just like if you believe in "physics" you are denying God because after all , Genesis says God made the light. If you believe in "astronomy" you are denying God because Genesis says God made the stars in the sky. If you believe in "Dinosours" you are denying God because Genesis says God made all the animals and had Adam go and name them.

This particular stawman is the easiest to identify. It is sad that people won't use the Brain God gave them and instead persist in choosing myth over the raw facts and huge montain of evidence and examination available to them.

And they do great damage in the process.

You're absolutely right. Tell your god I'll be in my office from 10 a.m. until noon tomorrow, and I'll be delighted to listen to and consider his account of creation of species, as an alternative to evolution.

Alright, what you wrote is interesting, but I think you're really reading too much into this. I for one, and I think most of us on here who are evolutionists, are open minded and don't buy everything our teachers tell us. Just the fact that we're not Dimocrats shows we don't buy a bunch of BS. I really gotta wonder how you think I'm calling God a lier too??? I believe the Book of Genesis is correct, I believe some of the words may symbolise something else; either purposefully or because of translation. Remember, the Bible you now hold was not written in English, nor Greek, nor the other languages it was in first. It was written by different human beings in Hewbrew dialects. I believe God did inspire and tell it to who wrote it. I have a theory of God and many world religions and how things were written and why, but this is probably not the best place to tell it. What you need to know is that guys like me have come to our understanding of things from the same thoughtful processes that you have come to yours. We have not been taken in as it were by anybody.
