I believe in God and evolution. I believe that God is still evolving. Still becoming. I Am Becoming. Not everyone is going to like you or your views just like you don't like everyone and their views. To some evolution is evil if it is done outside of God. If God is the reason for it then OK. If you are offering a belief choice that does not include God ,they fear it. They fear that others will find some truth in what you say and turn their heads away from organized religion. They fear that their own beliefs will be question and most of all they fear that you make too much sense.

Sorry Jim I don't believe in evolution because there are too many pieces missing from the puzzle. I don't believe in creation because I've seen enough that don't make sense. I believe on the third alternative intervention, that has been highly documented in the past, let's say 8000 years ago, not only on Mesopotamia, but also on the Central America highlands and The Andes.
check those places, you may come to a different conclusion.

Darwinism emerged in the 19th century as the restating of a myth, dating back to the Sumerians and Ancient Greece, by the amateur biologist Charles Darwin, and has since then formed the fundamental idea behind all the ideologies that have been harmful to mankind. Wearing a so-called scientific mask, it allowed these ideologies and their supporters' practical measures to win a false legitimacy. By means of this false legitimacy the theory of evolution soon left the fields of knowledge of biology and palaeontology and began to comment on fields from human relations to history, and to influence fields from politics to social life. Because some particular claims of Darwinism supported several currents of thought which began to come into motion and take shape in the 19th century, it gained wide support from these circles. In particular, people began trying to apply the idea that there is a "fight for survival" among living creatures in nature, and as a result, the idea that "the strong survive, the others are defeated and disappear" began to be applied to human thought and behaviour. When Darwinism's claim that nature was a place of struggle and conflict began to be applied to human beings and societies, Hitler's deviation of building a master race, Marx's claim that "the history of mankind is the history of class struggle," capitalism's provision for the "strong growing even stronger at the expense of the weak," the colonisation of third world countries by such imperialist nations as Britain and their suffering inhuman treatment, together with the fact that coloured people still face racist attacks and discrimination, all found some kind of justification.Despite his being an evolutionist, Robert Wright, the author of the book The Moral Animal summarises the disasters that the theory of evolution has brought to the history of mankind in this way: Evolutionary theory, after all, has a long and largely sordid history of application to human affairs. After being mingled with political philosophy around the turn of the century to form the vague ideology known as "social Darwinism," it played into the hands of racists, fascists, and the most heartless sort of capitalists.

The process of evolution states we came from primordial ooze up through single celled organism's so on and so forth then ape to man.
Creation states God created the Earth in six days.
Evolutionists state the Earth is 4.5 billion years old approx.
Creationists say 6,000 years old approx.
I'm going to show you a verse and before you make a judgement consider this.
In Genesis it takes God six days to create the Earth. Then it doesn't go into to much detail but states that Adam and Eve lived with God in the Garden. God tells them not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. When they do they lose there sinless nature, thus beginning to age.
Up until this point the Bible does not say HOW LONG they lived in the Garden. It quite possible and feasible to say they could have lived there for millions or even billions of years, God doesn't tell us because that's not important.
What is important is salvation and before you judge Christ why not first give Him a chance.

No, evolution is used by people who refuse to believe in their creator! Sad really! :(
Did you know that the bible backs up rational scientific views. Did you also know that the bible knew that the earth was round long before man knew?
Isaiah 40:22 There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth, the dwellers in which are as grasshoppers, the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell,
And at one time scientist thought the earth was supported by elephants on the back of giant turtles, but the bible knew better than scientists!
Job 26:7 He is stretching out the north over the empty place,
Hanging the earth upon nothing;
Same with the theory of evolution, one day that will be gone too!

I think you are "mixing" arguments. Hitler DID use social Darwinism. In Mein Kampf, to be exact. This is why his theory went out against the Jews. And the master race. And all I am saying is that this is not against the philosophical principles of survival of the fittest: if you can do a thing, you are justified in it. The end justifies the means, so to speak. This is not to say that you are a Nazi or bad, but all this really means is that you are living to a higher standard than your worldview dictates. Good for you :)

In my religion, Im taught creationism. But hey, i asked the same questions, what the heck, this doesn't make any sense. I thought about it, and it doesn't. But when I started believing more in evolutionary theory, i found that there was still something missing there too. There is evidence for evolution, but there's also evidence for creationism. It may not be physical evidence, but there is. Use your sixth sense.

Religious people have very strong convictions that creationism is the only and correct way. This is mainly because they have been brainwashed from birth, and it is almost impossible to convince them of any other way.
What surprises me is that seemingly very intelligent people still refuse to believe any truth of evolution that is right before their eyes. Instead choosing to fall back on their beliefs in a supreme and all knowing being.

Does anyone ever notice how evolutionist try to act like their belief is any more valid of a theory than creationism? Seeing as it has not been proven as fact.

I honestly don't see how evolution contradicts religion unless you are taking the Bible (one example) as an absolute record of events since the beginning of time ... I can't see many folks believing this as an 'absolute'.
It is also amazing how many folks think evolution and the big bang are the same thing.
