Don't be obtuse. Of course I believe God created the universe -- but the evidence shows He did it through the process of evolution. And, as the evidence rolls in, it's pretty obvious that He set the initial parameters of the universe to give rise to life through natural processes. IOW, He is the master programmer and His creation is so perfect He hasn't needed to tweak it any. It is the folks who refuse to accept the evidence in front of them and cling to an outdated interpretation of scripture that turn the undecided off from God. They see Christians as ignorant bohunks that have no relevance in modern society. Y'all are the ones marginalizing Christianity in the minds of the masses, and I refuse to allow this to happen.

Exactly why I find it impossible to go to church or embrace any "religion". The penalty for questioning and seeking is just too high, the voices too strident in their disapproval. If there is a God, He doesn't need the narrow-minded and intolerant to defend Him.

He did it through the process of evolution.

So you are saying that God created the world and everything in it but he does not interfere in the world at all? Is that it? So you would say you are a deist then?
