Or do you just dismiss it with silly statements like, "I did not come from monkeys" or, "just look around, only god can make a tree."
It's so frustrating seeing such blatent misunderstanding, especially when evolution really isn't saying anything about the origins of the universe, whether there is a god, or if we have immortal souls. Evolution can coexist with all these concepts, but based on all the nonsense I read, I suspect that most Christians don't even have a cursory understanding of concepts like natural selection, descent with modification, environmental pressure, etc. Yet, they malign and dismiss evolution as if they've really studied it, which clearly most haven't!
I was raised Chrisitan, with 10+ years of religious education. I read the bible, studied Buddism extensively, & did cursory investigation into other major religions. I really TRIED to understand religion before I dismissed it. Have you REALLY tried to understand evolution, or do you just parrot Christian dogma?
