My vote is for Lucy! Of course evolution is real. The evidence is overwhelming!

Thankfully there is a God, and that He has already decided what constitutes a sentient being capable of sustainingt a soul. Neither Creationists nor Evolutionists have a "lock" on salvation purely from these viewpoints...it is NOT a point of salvation (and I defy anyone to show me a passage in Scripture which states that I must believe one way or another to gain admittance to the Kingdom).

I am a scientist. I believe that evolution is the closest, best theory we have to date, and I don't give a rat's rump at what point God decided to give our ancestors a soul - the point is that at some point He did. I also believe that most of the Bible has been preserved intact, although with some loss of character and humor. Furthermore, I know that when I die, I'm going to Heaven...because I have done (through Grace) the one thing necessary for Salvation: I believe utterly that Jesus died for my sins.

Thank you for explaining my view in a more eloquent manner.
