"There isn't enough evidence for evolution, I believe in God."
I know this isn't the thinking of every theists out there but it just makes me laugh. By saying you don't like evolution for lack of evidence you are implying that you require proof to back up beliefs on important issues. When you say you believe in God it means that you are basing your life around something completely on faith or abstract ideas that could be hopefully interpretted as Godly. Besides, it's a completely false statement, I don't think that you've read the details of the modern theory if you think this.
Plus if you really look into it there is more than enough evidence to evolution's credit to give it status at at least the strongest possibility we know of have. To clarify in case you didn't get it I strongly support the theory.

And I do agree that the idea of God and evolution are compatable unless there's a script I don't know about that says "You didn't evolve." But I doubt it. I don't however believe in God, at all, but I don't hold anything against anyone who believes both.

I'm a christian. I go to church every Sunday. I help out at my church a lot.
But, your right. By saying we don't believe in evolution because there isn't enough evidence is stupid because there is little to no evidence that any God exists! All we have is a book that has been written and rewritten as time went on, and a few "miracles" that could be nothing but fakes.
However, I believe that god created us so that we evolve into what we are now.

Well put! Yes it is. I am a theist and I don't have a problem with believing in evolution. I don't place faith in ancient writings and call them 100% truth just because it is written by men who are also theists. No matter what that writing is... the Bible, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Epic of Gilgamesh... But what usually adds to this hypocricy is when they call it a "theory" as if an insult or that it makes it less credible. Yet... Gravity was called a theory. We don't have a problem believing in that one.

Even if there isn't enough proof for evolution or god, I believe in both, and that they work together.
Is that so hard to believe? Science and religion as long lost brothers? They laughed at scientists too, and usually the scientists were proven years after death. What good is an official Catholic Churches' apology and recognition for gallileo's theories once he's long dead?

What? you may no longer in basic terms placed all of those issues; dying, hate, killing, suicides, raping, pointless injuries, affliction transmission, immorality, impolite teenagers, struggling with, arguing, poverty, loss of peace, conflict, famine, lies, orphans, widows, single mum and dad, etc. And say they're all atheism's fault. perfect, utopian peace won't ever come, for see you later as now we've minds and evaluations there could be conflict. And no, you may no longer ascertain actually the finished worlds subjects with "true love" and rainbows and ponies. this is greater than that. The U.S. Has had a christian president once you think approximately that the 1800's and that hasn't stopped Vietnam, Iraq, Hiroshima, from happening. additionally a number of those concerns are ridiculous. Arguing? there'll continuously be arguing see you later as we've different evaluations. Lies? So what? once you get a sparkling hair type and ask your boyfriend if he likes it, which might you %: "No. You look like a slut." or "nicely constructive honey yet i think you recognized greater desirable previously"...?

I don't know about all that, but as a Christian myself, I don't think that Evolution has anything to do with Faith one way or the other.
I really think there are much more important issues than this to discuss. Get off it, everyone.

Pretty hypocritical indeed, since there is a massive amount of information supporting evolution and zero evidence to prove that there is a god.

It is pretty strange. I don't know why religion and science are at ends with each other for Christians. I also believe in God, but I am not going to say that science doesn't work. (I'm not a Christian, so I see God differently, but they're not at war with each other!)

Understanding the process of Creation does not disprove the existence of the Creator.
Don't confuse true understanding of the nature of Creation, it's origins, and your place in it with the crazy literal interpretations of Genesis by a few crazy fundamentalists.

I believe in God. I believe in evolution. I believe in creation.
I believe God created evolution.
Yes, yes, I know I can't "have it both ways" just as I can't have both hot and cold running water.
