God did create everything, including human beings... we are as we were created! Evolution has been in the form of society, education, technology, etc...

So, either God doesn't care how we turned out, if there was no further interaction for bilions of years
(And how in practice does that differ from no god at all?)
Or God intervened specifically, for example wiping out the dinosaurs (sorry chaps, but I wish for some new evolutionary niches, heads up, here comes a meteor),
and is involved in the extinction of 99.9% of all species that have ever existed in order to achieve the current situation (which may no more be the desired end any more than the dinosaurs were. Heads up, here comes a...)
No. An evolutionary deity seems more cruel and capricious than almost any other kind that can be proposed. Pick a creator God or no God. The "middle ground" seems to me a very uncomfortable place to sit, once you understand what evolution involves.

Evolution has NOTHING to do with the origin of life, only how it changed and evolved once it originated. Also, we don't do science by gentleman's agreements...the facts speak for themselves, and science tries to find a unifying explanatory theory.
Some Christians do agree with evolution. Some "evolutionists" are Christians.
The existence of God is a separate question entirely. Not an assumption you can make.

Nope. I'm an atheist.
Theist evolutionists and creationists? Maybe. I kinda doubt you'll talk sense into most of the creationists, though.
If you believe God created us, us being human beings, then you cannot accept evolution... you can accept evolution if you think God created the first cell or made the lightning that created it or something like that, maybe.

It's not a scientific theory. Science is not based on 'agreeing'.
And there's absolutely no evidence for your god or any other.
And there's no such thing as 'evolutionists'. Do you "believe in" gravity? Does that make you a gravitationist?
And christians are really, really not banned from libraries. You too can understand evolution one day if you wish.

You can't have everyone agree on one theory, some people like to think outside the box.
Besides, creating new theories often lead to new answers.

because saying "God created everything" is already culturally loaded to favor organized religions. if god meant the laws of the universe, then scientists would agree. but for most people it wouldn't, so the argument would continue.
Arguing about beliefs should be fun, it's the people acting dumb in the name of their beliefs that ruins it.

in case you recognize that microevolution isn't evolution, yet genetics and operates interior the alternative direction of macroevolution, you will no longer have faith in macroevolution, ever. I recommend we rename microevolution into microcreation. Is it rational to have faith that no longer something and no person created each thing? that's what evolution skill. Evolution is per atheism.

That's just black-boxing the question of where matter, energy and everything else came from. You know, hiding it away in a black box that we label something or other.
You can do that if you wish, but you wouldn't you like to really understand what exactly is in that box?

I disagree. I think it was more than one God. A singular Male God makes no sense to me.
