(creation for me)

Concerning the debate going on about intelligent design and evolution: is it possible that the final answer about which of these two seemingly opposite ideas is correct could simply be yes?

With one position firmly held by the believers and the other just as fearlessly defended by the non-believers, if you happen to be in a position somewhere near the middle, it does not look all that complex. From this position, you wonder why either-or has to be the answer.

If you believe that some higher being created the universe by intelligent design, what more elegant and intelligent design could there have been than a self-regulating system that continually checks its own errors and makes its own corrections in mid-stream as an integral part of the process.

This all seems quite logical to me although it probably won’t satisfy the believers because they are afraid to see any truth other than the one they have been told to believe in. Inversely it certainly won’t satisfy the non-believers because it leaves them stuck with a god that they are so obviously terrified of.

To sum up this view from the center, it might be most easily be explained by saying perhaps the designer was intelligent. Problem is, the designer was likely so intelligent that those seeking to prove that it is intelligently designed may be incapable of ever understand it well enough to see it for the elegant self regulating design that it has always been.

The nonbelievers will be similarly handicapped due to the internal terror the have about the idea that there may be a God. Neither side being able to leave their entrenched position for fear they may have to admit they were wrong. While the rest of us stand by trying to figure out what all the fuss is about. Personally I don’t think anyone is wrong, I just feel both sides are about half right.

Love and blessings

Evolution. Creation is just so vague and "If I believe...."

I can believe that elephants are purple, but they aren't. You can believe that there is a heaven, hell and God, but you can't prove it, can you?

I can't prove that God doesn't exist. But when I really LOOK at this pitiful planet, smothered in toxins by our own "we are the best" attitude and arrogance, I'm not so sure. If humans were made in the image of God, what sort of God are you worshipping?

That, and a God that demands worship? I can see being thankful for life, but if the Bible is the word of God, I am seriously concerned!

Evolution

Evolution.

It's an elegant, parsimonious and falsifiable theory that has considerable evidence behind it (certainly enough to consider it fact before a better answer comes along- and not creation. I mean something arrived at through science.)
