The Bible states that God created man. It doesn't state that God created a being that million years later evolved into man.
So, to me it sounds like people who believe in God, and see evolution as a fact are just trying to hang on to their idea of God.
Long, long ago Thor made thunder. When we finally figured out what really causes, Thor didn't make thunder anymore. I'm sure this trust in the discovery of what causes thunder, didn't grow in one day. Must have taken years and years before the die-hard Thor fans accepted that Thor didn't make thunder.
Same concept seems to apply to God and Evolution.
Shouldn't anyone who sees the scientific facts on which the theory of Evolution is based, simply accept that the creation story in the Bible is untrue?

Modern religions are philosophical pretzels that are crumbling as we speak.

I don't think there is a way to believe in the BIBLE and evolution at the same time.
The bible is not the only way to look at God, there are several others, don't forget that.
You could easily believe that God created the big bang structure and then everything went on its own after that according to waht God had designed. That arguemtn can't be argued by science because it can't be tested scientifically since its not stating that something or another didn't happen that science hasn't proven.
so you can easily believe in God and evolution.

Okay let me first say that some science is fact, but evolution isn't there are a million things out there that disprove evolution that ignorant people choose to dismiss as a mistake that they can't explain. and yes ur right people who believe in God and evolution are trying to get saved but don't want to let go of their theory. it says six days it took God to create the earth and everything, now some people believe that it took, like millions of years in between for things to develop, well i don't really think that because of the evidence of rivers, galaxy's and the gran canyon have to disprove evolution, like the trees they found buried in layers of dirt that was supposed to be millions of years apart, the scientists said that the tree must be really old and the dirt formed around it, or when they found a shoe print with like the first lifeform underneath it, they said it is clearly not a footprint, it must be a rock or something,

People (created by God), have evolved since creation. Adam & Eve were black, as were their children, and as they traveled to other continents, colder climates, their hair, eyes and skin lightened as they didn't need so much pigmentation to protect them from the sun. We don't all disbelieve evolution, as I just stated, we just know we didn't begin with a big bang from nothingness, then proceed to turn into apes, then humans. That theory has never been anything more than a theory, yet you people have a hard time grasping the concept of the word "theory". Why is it that so many self-proclaimed intellectuals have no comprehension of a simple word like "theory"??? Perhaps your IQ isn't quite as high as you're trying to convince us it is.

For the Muslim there is no need for separation between religion and science. It is understood from the Quran, revealed over 1,400 years ago, that there is both; "Creation" and "Evolution." And in both instances, it is only Allah who is "Able to do all things." In fact, it was the Muslim scientists, more than 1,000 years ago, who set the stage for the adancement of learning, technology and disciplines in science that we know today.
Allah has explained how He created everythng in the universe and brought all life out of water. He created humans from earth (not monkeys) and there is no need to attempt fabrications of "links" to the animal world in Islam.

Ah, yea, we are trying to hang evolution on God - you caught us! BTW, people didn't know much of anything 200 years ago and you are in the same Ark.

Evolution is a mirage.
All energy forms develop around
their given genetic frequencies.

There are two creation stories in the Bible (first two chapters each have one), and they cannot even be reconciled with each other.

The church prevented such knowledge to be discovered. Darwin was the first to pay attention to the details of nature.

I am truly AMAZED at how many of you people insist that evolution is a fact, when the people who have convinced you of this, don't say that themselves. Science does not say that it is a fact, it is a theory and there
IS NO PROOF OF EVOLUTION, NONE AT ALL!!!!!!!
