does anyone else agree that we should stop talking about evoluion in the religion section?
i think we should move the argument to science and mathmatics

I agree.
But those who talk about Evolution in this section are people who don't really want answers.
They're afraid that their questions might just get answered in the right section.

I think most christians need to understand that even the Catholic church has recognized that evolution "...is more than just a theory." That sort of makes it appropriate to address the question in the religion section, in a vague and general way.
Real and specific questions on evolution are better placed in the science section.

I concur...BUT the ones who ask a bunch of evolution questions are the theists....I haven't read an evolution question asked on the R&S section by an atheist (doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but just not in my experience.) If I ever ask an evolution question, I would ask it in the sceince section, just like when I asked a question about the XBox 360's, I did it in the gaming section. Most theists who ask those evolution questions don't want to have answers, they just want to have a reconfirmation of what they believe...not actual scientific answers from those who know more about it than themselves...sad, but true. Hope this helps!! ^_^

The evolution argument is relative in this section as many do not believe it, as opposed to the creation theory. There are some Christians who believe in evolution. This is a valid discussion here.

It is religious though - these people aren't interested in science. Creationism is an act of faith, a refusal to consider all the evidence and believe in a bronze-age fable.
For the record, you do occasionally see people in zoology saying the same thing and also answering questions about science with appeals to divine power eg. 'why is the sky blue?' - 'because god didnt make it red' I wonder if such people are sentient in any meaningful way.

Evolution and creationism are both beliefs so why not. Evolution from lower to higher life forms is just a belief trying to sneak it's way into real science but it has no basis in fact or observation...only speculation and it's scientifically and statisically impossible to occur. It's the greatest sham ever introduced to modern science and will one day be realized as such. Life on this planet or anywhere else has to have been intelligently designed and created.

If you want to discuss evolution there, there are lovely people who are very helpful and accommodating. People in R&S often discuss origins of the universe, life, humanity, meaning both physical and spiritual, so it's going to continuously pop up. I see parallels between the physical and spiritual, so I like those topics here and enjoy the discussion.

It would be an idea, however the ones that need to know it are not in the science section.

Disagree. One of my biggest gripes with Christendom is their inability to accept a genuine truth of nature for words in a 2000 year old tome.
Evolution is always happening.

Biology would probably be the most appropriate section but, as Megatron has said, they do not want the facts.
