But non-evolutionists reject too much. Most people that don't believe in evolution also do believe that the earth is something like 6,000 years old. This would imply that dinosaurs and man co-existed, even though there is no fossil evidence of a dinosaur ever hurting a man or a man hurting a dinosaur. It would also imply that for some reason God put a lot less of certain carbon isotopes into dinosaurs than into early men. It would be unclear why God would do this, unless His intention was to deceive us. Why WOULD God want to deceive us?

There's no reason NOT to take the naturally reoccuring law of evolution seriously. It's a naturally reoccuring law which we can witness within our lifetimes if we know where to look.
For example....viruses that were cured by antibiotics 30 years ago are now resistant to those same antibiotics. Why? Because a new strain evolved from the old strain.
It's really NOT a hard concept to grasp. No faith required.

There is no reason the ideas of evolution and God cannot walk hand in hand. God is greater than any human can imagine. Therefore, who are we to dictate what a "day" is to something so much greater than ourselves? What if God's day is 1 million years to us? Creating things is a process, or so I'm told. Is it possible that the world evolved as God wished it to? Is it possible that God's hand has been in all stages of evolution? To believe that God simply "created" and it was all "just so", I believe, takes the artist out of the nature of God. And in my opinion, there is no greater artist. Watch some time-lapse images of a flower blooming or a butterfly opening it's wings for the first time. God is there AND it is an evolution of sorts. Just don't make the mistake of selling the "Almighty" short.

I'm not an atheist and I still believe in evolution.
People who think that dinosaurs never exsisted and that it's all fake need to take a trip out to the fosils at Winton in Outback Queensland, Australia and tell me why you would bother faking something like that in the middle of NOWHERE.

*sigh*
Nobody should "eat up" anything blindly, people on BOTH sides of the argument need to make sure they aren't ignoring evidence or making things fit their arguments. The truth is the truth, and nothing else, you can't bend it to your will.
I have my own opinions on this, but in light of your rudeness, I have no intention of saving you from the ravages of the incoming comments. YOU! are the weakest link..... GOODBYE!

You theists eat that God stuff up, don't you? I may eat up evolution, but at least I'm not filling myself with bullcrap like you are.
Take that, and wash down your theories of Creation with it. Doesn't the truth taste good?

I do not choose what to believe and not to believe. I research the evidence and believe accordingly. Science is based on fact. Even if the facts are not comforting I cannot deny them.

Yes, because "God created it" doesn't satisfy my intellectual curiosity, like learning the complexities of evolution does....

It makes a much more substantial meal than whisps of dust, shadows and magical superstition.
