Couldn't we just prove that evolution actually happened and then decide?
Your basic idea is sound and would be acceptable when and if evolution is ever proven, but I doubt it ever will be. The "theory" changes all the time.
Theory was: mammal explosion after dinosaurs died out, new study says that probably didn't happen. Theory was: Neanderthals were displaced by humans. New study says climate change caused them to disappear.

I love that you asked this question. I got a chuckle out of it. It is my own personal belief that God did create the world to evolve. I don't think that man came from monkeys, but there is definitely an evolutionary process. Christians like myself should believe this because it is the only thing that explains race differences throughout the world when everyone came from 2 people.

When I was a fundy, it had to be "6 literal days." Why? Because the bible said 6 literal days. Once you start taking things metaphorically, then everything slides into meaninglessness (they said). Then we can take the 10 commandments as non-literal and who's to say if Jesus was real? They beat you with the slippery slope arguement to keep you away from evolution.

Actually I do believe that our world is in a constant state of evolution, I just dont believe the whole we came form nothing "evolution" story.

That's what I personally believe, yes. But there are also Christians that believe that everything in the Bible is literal, so that wouldn't work for them as the world would only be 5000 years old or so.

That's what Catholics believe.
Strangely enough, rabid antisecularism was one of the things the inquisition killed people for....biblical literalism that was against the governments run by Catholics.
The Early Catholics were of the opinion a lot of Christians were too stupid to read the Bible for themselves....
I think they were right about that.
(not much else, but about that, yup.)

God is the creator of everything. Of coarse he is the cause of things evolving so they would become stronger, smarter and survive.

Don't you get it. Evolution requires thinking, and so is not a good idea. Whether or not god created it is irrelevant. Only ideas that require no thought are welcome to most religious types.

They are free to believe whatever they want but beliefs don't alter facts and the fact is there is no evidence to show a divine hand at work in nature.

Personally, yes. That is what I believe.
