Some people just accept and acknowledge it. It's a matter of science and knowledge not belief. You can't "believe" in evolution any more than you can believe in gravity. And gravity is a theory too.

I agree. Belief implies faith.
Sure, I have faith that the sun is there.
Doesn't work that way.

Gravity is a theory? That's hilarious.
Evolution is a theory? That's hilarious too, considering it's been proven many times. So has Gravity. Obviously or I wouldn't be sitting here, I'd be floating near the ceiling somewhere.

The most important thing is that, for most people, this is an unnecessary fight.
Nothing in science disproves the existence of a Higher Power who created Man. For most religious people, this is just quibbling over the details of how it was done.
There are fundamentalists on both sides of the issue. Those who, with no scientific basis, deny the existence of God, and those who deny science. Most of us, believers or not, should just refuse to participate in this worthless struggle, which damages us all.
One possibility I consider, with uncharitable feelings, is that both religious fundamentalists and Richard Dawson will be very surprised one day to wake up in the same place, condemned for the strife they have inflicted on the world.
Really good website from a man who is both a person of strong faith, and a good scientist. His label, for what's it's worth, is Old Earth Creationist.

"The mission of Reasons To Believe is to show that science and faith are, and always will be, allies, not enemies. Our mission is to bring that life-changing truth to as many people as possible, both believers and unbelievers."
Personally, I believe, due to overwhelming evidence, that the Earth is very old, that life started simply, and became more complex. That would seem to me to be undeniable science. I have no provable opinion on exactly how that happened or why.

Yes I knew that. A lot of xtians can't seem to wrap their minds around the notion of non belief so many of them try to apply evolution as some kind of belief system.

Actually, I 100% believe in evolution.

I suppose it would be possible to believe in evolution if you didn't really understand the natural laws behind it, but those are mostly creationists.

I believe that if the earth and the sun were here billions of years ago, the earth would be ashes - you don't believe that. You have more faith than I do.

true.. you don't "believe" in evolution.. you can't have faith in it.. but you can still consider evolution as the most plausible and credible scientific theory
