Before anyone starts starts shaking a Bible at me, consider this: If God created the universe, could He have not created a world fully capable of evolving into its present state?
Anyone who considers using the Intelligent Design theory, please be certain that you know what I.D. is before you start typing. (Hint: It is NOT the scenario described above.)
No rude, hateful, or ignorant comments, please. If you don't have something intelligent to say, don't bother answering this question.

Teaching I.D. (which is based in religion) in school is a violation of the Establishment Clause. Evolution is taught in science classrooms because it is based in science. This doesn't change the fact that some 80% of Americans would like to see creationism either replace or be taught along side evolution in our nation's public schools.

i totally agree with you. i do not understand why anyone believes in creationism. isnt it OBVIOUS evolution is what happened? i mean, hello, our dna is less than 2% different from a chimp's! and we are still evolving! look how short people were hundreds of years ago. look how we have come from neanderthals to what we are today! i don't understand why anyone would say it doesnt exist. i dont even see why it is challenged at all. its all those bible-thumping southerners. and i am catholic. just because evolution is real doesnt mean god isnt responsible for it. evolution is scientifically and religiously plausible. what's the problem?

Yes, God could have created a world capable of evolving, but let's start at the beginning, if you believe God created the world as He said He did, then you have to believe that He created everything else as He said He did. You can't pick and choose. Either you believe it all or you don't.
By the way, it takes a lot more faith to believe in evolution that it does in creation.

Where did you hear that the US does not accept evolution? There are certain religious groups who do not, but many Americans accept it. You are making a generalization.

Evolution.....oh boy.....from goo to zoo to you. Sigh......ok.....look at it in a simple fact. IF evolution happened....and everything....and I mean everything....evolved....it would have had to do it....not only once....but twice.....ahem...male and female....now...that being the case.....do the math.....math never lies.......then decide. Oh, just for your sake......evolution would be the same as a tornado tearing through home depot and a finished piano would result from it. Or does that theory seem just a wee bit silly as well.

I have always considered people in the US more likely to accept evolution.

God had a plan and he created us. I don't believe in any of the other theories because they just don't seem right to me. I guess you can believe what you want though.

Because it is a theory among "scientists" and they usually have to renew their findings. Is coffee bad for you this week? How about eggs?

I think that America likes to think of itself as moral and righteous and since we live in a society that is predominately christian, that is the morality that most go by.
