There is no such thing as a fossil record, there are a bunch of bones of dead things in the dirt. You also don't know that the bones you find in dirt produced any offspring.

How can fossils count as evidence for for Evolution?

I know this is a good question to keep you from believing in a Creator (God) and a good one at that. But check this out: Since God made the sun, moon, and stars "to give light upon the earth" (Genesis !;14-18) those lights would be immediately visible on earth. They fulfilled their purpose on the day God spoke them into being, because He "saw that it was good." No doubt God also made Adam as a fully grown man perhaps with the appearance of being 30yrs old, even though he was only minutes old. Likewise, herbs and trees were aleady mature and fruit-bearing, to provide a ready supply of food. That would be the case with all of His creation. Now won't you please believe in God?

believes that the Christian God, if He exists, is not worthy of worship?

Not an atheist nor agnostic.

A deist? Not really

You know, they’re just glad that they still call themselves Christian and adhere to some of the teachings. Maybe they don’t mind that the word of Genesis is inevitably eroding like a sand castle on the beach as a tide of new knowledge comes in.

I'm wondering if a monk would kill the bug or set it free. It's almost impossible to set free ants because there is a swarm and by hand or anyway, it would damage the ant. what would a Buddhist monk had bugs in the temple? Please no guesses unless you have experience like living in a temple. Anyone with experience from a monk or can have contact to a monk please answer me or ask them. I've been wondering about this since I was a kid.

The most popular source of evidence used by evolutionist stems from the fossil record. Evolutionist Jay Savage states, "We do not need a listing of evidences to demonstrate the fact of evolution..." (V). Encyclopaedia Britannica (14:376) under a section called "The speculative nature of phylogeny [via fossil record]" states, "...judgements of relationships among organisms are almost always based upon incomplete evidence..." This means assumptions are used to fill in the missing pieces of evidence. Britannica also states, "The overwhelming majority of species that have ever lived have long since been extinct and with them the connecting links necessary for the direct demonstration of the descent of modern organisms from common ancestors." This statement shows that the evidence does not exist for Savage to "demonstrate the fact of evolution." He sidesteps the scientific process and logic thereby showing his bias thereby discrediting himself, his profession and the theory.

Do you just devolve and fight non-reason with non-reason (ie, violence) to protect your rights? Even if it means you will likely be jailed or worse in a society that is majority anti-reason?

The "cause and effect" principle shows matter and energy could not have just appeared or always existed. Aquinas states:
In the world of sense we find there is an order of efficient causes. There is no case known (nor indeed, is it possible) in which a thing is found to be the efficient cause of itself... Now to take away the cause is to take away the effect.... Therefore it is necessary to admit a first efficient cause, to which everyone gives the name of God. (Great 19:13)

Aquinas also explains that nature is designed and the entropy law of matter and energy substantiates his assessment:
We see that things which lack knowledge, such as natural bodies… achieve their end not by chance, but by design. Now whatever lacks knowledge cannot move towards an end, unless it be directed by some being endowed with knowledge and intelligence, as the arrow is directed by the archer. Therefore some intelligent being exists by whom all natural things are ordered to their end; and

Shortly before his death, Pope John XXIII issued his landmark encyclical Pacem in Terris (Peace on Earth). It was a remarkable papal document for its time. It coincided with an era when the world was divided by an ideological ‘iron curtain’ which was augmented by a nuclear arsenal that threatened the worst possible holocaust on the planet. Times were extremely tense and the possibility of peace on earth seemed remote to many. John’s encyclical heralded hope in a world where lasting peace was, at best, a remote possibility. It also demonstrated to a skeptical world that the Catholic Church was willing to engage with the issues that affected humanity; that it was leaving behind the remoteness from the world that had characterized it for well over a century.
Significantly, as Pacem in Terris followed an earlier encyclical Mater et Magistra (Mother and Teacher) in 1961, Pope John XXIII’s

i think if you really grasp the concept of who Christ is then you should be COMPLETELY devoted to him. we are talking about G-O-D!

this is why i think that most people who call themselves christians are just full of it. being a real christian is a big devotion.

... then consider the following:

In the documentary Genetics: Patterns of Diversity it concludes, "But still, the controversy remains. The challenge to Darwin's theory is to explain these molecular changes in terms of natural selection." There are many other challenges to Darwin's theory. Creationist Dr. Parker states:
Evolutionists assume that all life started from one or a few chemically evolved life forms with an extremely small gene pool. For evolutionists, enlargement of the gene pool by selection of random mutations is a slow, tedious process that burdens each type with a "genetic load" of harmful mutations and evolutionary leftovers.
...The creationist mechanism works and it's consistent with what we observe. The evolutionist assumption doesn't work, and it's not consistent with what we presently know of genetics and reproduction. As a scientist, I tend to prefer ideas that do work and do help to explain what we can observe. (Creation 115)

everyone trys to show the positive thing about his religion, but is it really about which is the nicest religion? or which one is the truth?

Tsunami, Katrina, and Hell are three different kind of punishment that our mind can't imagine it's pain. also did a woman chose to not feel pain while giving birth? or to not have a period? do we have a choice of stoping death?

in the other hand there is mercy, forgiviness, and a great reward for those who deserve it.

so is it really about which religion is nice? or to understand the nature of God. God is something that is complete mix of mercy, forgiviness, and great reward but also Anger, punishment, and great pain.
