Why are so many people's faith dependent on refuting evolution? It's kind of pathetic. I thought Jesus told his disciples that they should have faith in the face of anything. He didn't specifically address scientests claiming some well-established scientific theory disproved the existence of God, but it seems like this wouldn't be that big a deal. And you never hear them get bent out of shape about certain geological and physics theory that are also purported to bode ill for the existence of God. I guess some people's faith is too shallow to stand up against "experts" and "scientests". And no one on either side of the debate has ever been able to prove to to me one way or the other the supremacy of either view.
It's just sad - a handful of biologists tell you that there must be no God and you all run around panicked. Most people have no difficulty believing in God and evolution, the two belief systems are not mutually exclusive of each other unless you ascribe to extremists on either side.
Calling apes--men and men apes...and calling Creator/creation---evolution/science is very 1984ish for very political-social evil reasons/ends for conservatives!
