Are You a Creationist or an Evolutionist? (See Post For Details)

I said my piece so no problem from me. Skybird, looks very interesting that book.

The one that makes sense.

I am an Evolutionist, but I believe the scientists have it backwards.

I believe that man is evolving TO the apes not from.

Think about it. What does a male gorilla do?

-Sleeps 16 hours a day
-Grabs some food when he is hungry
-Grabs a female Gorilla when he is "lonely"
-Goes back to sleep

What do I do as the "advanced" primate?

-I go to bed when I am not tired
-I get up when I am tired
-I work 40+ hours a week doing something I don't like, just in hopes that maybe, perhaps on a weekend I can:

--Sleep 16 hours a day
--Grab some food when I am hungry
--Grab a female when I am "lonely"

Higher life form? Yeah right, the Gorillas are laughing at me at this moment.

I find it curious that people of a supposedly advanced nation choose to ignore reality and take shelter in myth. When one observes nature one cannot help but see the hand of God.

What you see is only 'evidence' if you're predisposed to believe it. The more I look, the less real evidence I see.

I have to agree here, the more our understaning of nature advances the less need there is of the supernatural to explain it.

The acknowledgement of the mechanisms of nature, does not negate the hand of God. I've always believed in the nature of the universe, the physical principles as their foundation, as a creation of God himself. The existence of science, does not negate God's existence in anyway whatsoever. In fact, the order and balance of it all, gives me greater faith in the hand of God. The more I understand nature, the stronger the relationship to God becomes. To me, the order and balance of things simply cannot be a cosmic accident.

It is!

Once the basics got dealt with, the reading is smooth, and keeps you hooked. And as I said: It's hard to argue with a man who has a library in his brain.
