I would think, wow there's an intelligent person who understands evolution. What would you think if I told you someone flipped me off (when I refused to make an illegal turn), cut in front of me and had a WWJD bumper sticker on his car? I pulled up and said "You know what Jesus wouldn't do? That."

I think that Darwin was on the money when he came up with the theory of evolution. He was ahead of his time- I believe that one can embrace evolution and maintain a strong belief in God.
Darwin figured out how we all evolved into today- but why should that preclude the presence of God? Darwin only gave us the how- there is alot more to it then that- like "why"

I don't mind it at all. I believe in natural selection. Darwin was a genius, but he overestimated the time is takes for natural selection to act upon a species.
I don't believe we evolved from an ameba.
We, as a species, have been on this planet for about 8000 years. We arrived here much as we are now.
Adam was made in the image of God (he was cloned).
And God made Eve with one of Adam's ribs (...talk about advanced stemcell research).
The problem with science is that, it transforms into absolutes what we, in our limited inteligence, have come to learn. If we learned how to fly, and clone, and break an atom within one hundred years of scientific experimentation, imagine what our ancestors (God and the Angels), who have been around much longer than us, can do! Suppose they learned how to use, say 50% of their brain!!! Think about that!
Imagine going back five hundred years and trying to explain people how to make an automobile.
That's a fraction of what Jesus felt like when he was here.

I'll assume that's the Darwin Fish with Feet.
I generally think something along the lines of:
Darwin is Dead.
I serve a Living Lord.

What I think is that these have been around for at least 15-20 years ... and that's about it. I don't waste a whole lot of energy getting offended at what people slap on their bumpers. Free country, you know.

Evolution is not only possible, it is always happening. How many men serving in the civil war were 6 feet tall? Not very many. How many men today are six feet tall? Majority. There's evolution for you right there. However, to think that humans evolved from monkeys is, to be honest, a barbaric idea with a generous sprinkling of insanity on the top. Now I'm not saying its impossible, but who on earth decided to think that its possible?

When I see it I think, "What a dope." Then I think, "it's sad that this person has no idea Who they are offending and thumbing their nose at by using this blatantly anti-Christ-ian alternative to those symbols that exalt God." If you want to show God and His people that you hate Him and them, and that you are more comfotable believing you are nothing more than evolved, meaningless slime, then you will get your wish come the judgment.
Of course, you might start acting smart and looking into this person we call God and Christ and remember that neither you nor your predecessors could just come to be without a first cause. That first cause is called God, and He made you. The symbol you show is only evidence of the sin for which Christ died. You can be in on the crucifixion, or you can be the recipient of its benefit. It's up to you.

Notta. You're free to put on your bumper whatever you wish. If someone doesn't like it, they don't have to look at it. Now what I've been known to put on my bumper-that's pushing it.
Theist.

what do I think? I think the question should be what would God think? I am not asking you to take off your bumper sticker- you are not accountable to me- but please give me the right to have my Christian symbol there telling the world that I adore Him.
