Does that mean you believe that God is a prankster that placed all the evidence that makes it such a consistent & scientifically logical explanation for the way the living world is as some kind of a "joke" to mislead non-Christians who have a lot of common sense? Or do you believe the "devil" is so powerful he was able to do that?

JinEnglish... Precisely my point. My question was directed at those Christians who do reject this elegant Theory, I'd like to understand why? I want to understand why some people place more faith in a book they can prove to themselves has been altered than in a logical conclusion they can also prove to themselves that seems to me to make their 'God' (if He's even there!) even more remarkable!

True Christians believe in evolution, do not reject it.

All i have to say is praise God i am not a Christian. At times even i feel sorry for the things that are spoken of them. Leave the Christians alone. Okkk
Now that i have done my good deed for the day i will like to say.
It really does not make a difference to me whether or not God made the earth or it was evolution. All i know is that there is something in this world greater than both you and i. Call it what you want. If there isn't then during my stay on earth my life has been filled with many coincidences.

The basic premise of Evolution is wrong. Order came out of randomness? This violates not only the Law of Entropy but the Law of Common Sense.
You would never believe that a person could throw a bomb into a junkyard, and after the dust cleared, all of the debris came together to construct a 747 jet. But you believe that out of a "big bang", all of the dust settled and created the universe and life which is infinitely more complex than a jet.
Even if I didn't believe the Biblical account of creation, I would never fall for the theory of Evolution.

Non believers are going to reject anything that has to do with the creator simply because if they didn't they wouldn't be called non believers.This is a debate that will go on long after you and I have both left this world.So far though,evolution doesn't make sense in a way that is convincing me to think otherwise.
Dogs are always going to be dogs.Cats are always going to be cats.Fish can never develop lungs nor were dolphins ever earth walking creatures.As far as God.I don't think he has hidden anything.I don't feel he has played a trick on anyone.
Science verifies the bible.Plus the bible reveals scientific truths before the scientists of modern age ever knew of them.

Iam a Christian and here is my answer; For Satan keeps transforming himself into an angel of light so that he can put doubt into the minds of men, ours. The bible does not tell us what God did millions and even billions of years ago, it does tell us the history of man since He, Jehovah created us. The bible does tell us that one thousand years to a man is but one day to God, so you do the figuring out. ....And you are right, the devil could have placed all these animallike skulls into the earth to mislead humans, who are already mentally weak due to their imperfection brought about by the original sin. Yes, the devil is very powerfull-he was the third in command, the head of all the angels at one time. He is so powerfull that he managed to convince one third of the angels to take sides with him, becoming deamons. We are very weak near him, but we are very powerfull when we have God and Jusus Christ on our side. The devil knows that they are the only ones that can do away with him and his wicked army of demons, and they will eventually. God is not a prankster, but the devil is...By the way, do you really think that every thing-billions of them, were formed by themselves? Did all the stars and the moon just come out of nowhere? Only God can explain the living universe and we can argue for ever about it and its origin, but we were not meant to understand that much. We are one step below the angels, who do have that knowledge. Tell me; is there an end to the universe, and if so, where is is, can you tell us about it. What is the largest number in the universe, or the smallest one, can you answer that? No we cannot. Those are things that we do not understand because it was not meant for us to understand them, and we will never know. Be glad that God gave you life and a chance to have everlasting life, if you can outsmart the devil and follow God's commands, your maker, your repurchaser, the maker of heaven and earth, The Almighty.....KECK

What does the devil have to do with evolution? If you are referring to "Darwin`s Theory of Evolution," this is one of the most misunderstood theories out there. There is no scientific proof from any of the findings of prehistoric homo-sapiens that do in fact show an ape evolving into a man. If you can find it, I would like to see it. What has been found is pre-historic man evolving into modern day man. Even the DNA findings do not support the theory of evolution, or did you miss the latest report that was released last month? The DNA is very close, but still distinctly different.

False dichotomy.
Perhaps God created the world according to the Bible, and it does make perfect sense, but we just don't have the full picture yet.
Either - or questions typically miss other possibilities, as did yours.
I'm not a Christian. I don't believe that any God created the world and all around or in it in 6 days. I"m just a fan of logical argument.

No, I just think that God made everything, and some people don't want to acknowledge Him, so they go out of their way to make up a far-fetched theory that takes WAY more faith than simply believing in Him....The Bible is a scientific Book, BTW....just because He didn't explain every detail of how each step was performed, doesn't mean He didn't do it. It just means He knew we wouldn't be able to carry our Bibles to church every Sunday because of the volume, if He did... ;-)

If you believe in Creation that doesn't necessarily mean you reject Evolution. Things evolve all the time.

true christians know that without God, everything degresses and moves toward a state of chaos...only God brings order. The theory of evolution postulates that from nothing came choas, and from chaos came order. The natural world does not work that way.
