I'd like to know how anyone reasonably traveled and read could possibly believe that evolution as a process isn't real. The world is full of examples of species that have gone under dramatic change to fit an environment. it boggles the mind, how something can be right in front of somebody and yet they still deny it. It is almost as if their faith is so fragile that letting in something that contradicts what their evangelical minister told them, scares them into ignoring what they can see for themselves. Ministers aren't God. They don't have a lock on truth. They aren't always right, and that shouldn't impact someone's faith.

Could truth be relative ?

Do you know the difference between a republic and a democracy ?

That is MICRO-Evolution. It is variation within species. You do not have ANYTHING that turns a fish into a dog though. NOTHING. It is absurd to think that something came from nothing. That impersonal matter created highly complex personal beings. THAT is what is absurd.

It does, doesn't it. It boggles the mind that someone could see a baby in the womb and say "chance." It boggles the mind that one could see the complexity of an eyeball that is so complex that it is IMPOSSIBLE for it to evolve- and say "evolution." The complexity and beauty of God's creation is all around us and it is stunning that people will still scream "random processes of natural selection." It is called willful ignorance, and it is VERY sad.

It is almost as if their faith is so fragile that letting in something that contradicts what their evangelical minister told them, scares them into ignoring what they can see for themselves.
It is almost as if their faith is so fragile that letting in something that contradicts what their science professor told them, scares them into ignoring what they can see for themselves. Scientists aren't God. They don't have a lock on truth. They aren't always right, and that shouldn't impact someone's faith.

That's because when you live life with blinders on, no amount of evidence or experience will change your mind.

See no evil, hear no evil, the schultz syndrom is what I call it.

There are few creationists that do not have schultz syndrom as far as I am concerned.
