Your right, the bible was a bad example, now that i think about it.

i didn't mean all together, i ment the parts that can be a part of the other, like god making evolution, and letting it take over for a while.

And plus, i dont think god is exactly what most people think he is, i dont think we rely on faith either. Blinding people from sight isn't the way. the truth will set you free.

I agree that they are both not mutually exclusive concepts. I tend to this of evolution as an amazing, wonderful process and I can certainly see the hand of God in it.

The idea of God creating evolution and natural laws, and then backing off has been around for awhile. It's called Deism. You can read some more about it here, if you are interested! http://www.religioustolerance.org/deism.htm

If you look at evolution, although it claims to be random, I'd disagree. There are certain patterns that are followed, with small amounts of variation. Like dropping a stone in the water. You know that it will create ripples outward. You don't know exactly where the ripples will go, or how big they will be, but you know that they will go out, in the circle. In that sense I think evolution was set up to eventually produce us: creatures that are conscious of the world and of our own mortality. And by being conscious of the universe, aren't we the ones that make it real?

There's also another question. Evolution states that we all came from protolife, evolving upwards, like branches off a tree. I can agree with that. What science hasn't given me an answer for is exactly WHERE protolife came from in the first place. For that I turn to God.

The problem with Creationism is that it bases its concept of science off the bible. Guess when the bible was written? The new testament was written 1800 years ago. They don't understand that there have been quite a few technological advances sense then that help us understand the world around us. To name a few, the world is a sphere not flat and getting sick is caused by bacteria not "bad blood". So understanding from a scientific stand point is difficult for the Creationists because they cant see past their version of the bible.

I think the answer is right there for everyone to see unless they chose to ignore it and follow their animal instinct to deny the existence of a very intelligent and complex design going from the smallest particle in your body to the massively huge galactic order.

When people chose to ignore the creator it’s chaos everywhere and science can try to answer what it wants it can never explain how the world we live in was initiated in the first place, they ago as far as a big bang but cannot answer the simple question of who caused the big bang to happen in the first place or why ? They can tell you come from a monkey but they cannot explain why monkeys or any other animal for that matter hasn’t evolve into a humanlike creature or even developed the ability to speak, to feel, to have morals and boundaries or the intelligence and arrogance to make up crap about theories that doesn’t make sense about how he came to be !

They tell you a creator is out of question but when they’re stuck in their answers they just say we don’t know how or why !!
Science would be much more productive and would make much more sense it if accepts one and only one concept, the presence of a creator and sustainer of the universe. If only we accept that everything falls into place and suddenly makes sense !!!

I will finish by quoting one of the most imminent scientist of our time, someone who shaped the very core of modern science, Albert Einstein himself, on his death bed he while trying to write the so called “theory of everything” said to his nurse “God is not hiding anything from us, he only wants us to look harder…” take the hint…

PS: God does not equal church, I will not dictate which faith should be followed or which God is the true God but it’s you duty to search and find out for yourself, just don’t take the easiest option… your parents or your society does not necessarily hold the ultimate truth…

Peace !

Give to Caesar what is Caesar's

The Holy Church , couldn't teach science. That is their mistake. As for now, I'm lucky that the Church is now reformed thru the efforts of the Vatican II. The age of barbarians have ended for the Church when the Vatican II was called. All hail the Lamb's Bride! I hope that the nation of Israel will also be converted to the motherly care of the Church.

Only one thing. What purpose is there in including your God at all. It doesn't explain anything, It creates no helpful strategies for finding solutions, and is never missed if left out of the equations.
God is of no use to Science.

Choose Reality.

Everytime somebody thinks about reality the world gets a little bit smarter.

Its strange that people put a need for existence in a being that somehow knows everything. That being would have to come into existence too. It would have to come from nothing. It's it more likely that the small and the unknowing come from nothing than, the all powerful?
