To believe that there is a God and to believe that evolution happened for a reason and through the process of feedback.

You should not limit choice.

You can add any thought or comment that you want. The two I listed are the views most commonly held.

To believe that there is a God and to believe that evolution happened for a reason and through the process of feedback.

Option B implies (well, actually, it outright states) that evolution occurs by chance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Evolution does not occur by chance.

Im going with A all the way!! I have a lot of faith in God. To beleive that there is a God in Heaven, is faith it's self. I know in my heart that life started just like it said in the Bible, Adam and Eve....even if they did mess things up for the rest of us. LOL

If you are talking about natural selection, which in the opinion of a growing number of scientists that used to be on your side of the fence does not hole Water, it's about the same thing!

That is my belief as well, and it is backed up by much scientific evidence that some folks will never tell you about.

Ron, to be very blunt, anyone who argues with natural selection is an outright idiot. I can see someone arguing with evolution (don't understand it, but I can see it), but natural selection is a proven fact. Arguing with natural selection would be like arguing that gravity doesn't exist.

OMG!! A Moderator calling someone stupid! Where is all the outrage!!

Darwin's theory of natural selection presupposes, according to Darwin himself, that change can only occur when it causes a positive change in the species. For that to occur, there has to be a species to start with.

Have you ever heard of the "flagellum motor" that science recently found within all cells? It is an actual rotory motor that is held together by 40 specfic parts. So where do you suppose this motor came from?? So wgere di it come from? Take away any one of the 40 parts, and the motor fails to function. Natural selection can not explain how this amazing motor came into existance, except through creation. This has cause many, many scientists to jump from the evolution bandwagon into the creationalist camp. But, of course, they must be stupid too!

PS - Here is a great website that may give you more information on the subject of the "flagellum motor"!

Let's see. How can I get people to be honest about their choice.

I can debate everyone who picks one choice and praise everyone who picks the other.

If that doesn't guarantee an unbiased, yes even a FAIR AND BALANCED poll, nothing will.

Who suggested a poll?? Are we reading the same thread??

Ron, I am not a moderator. I don't know where you got the idea that I am!

Ron, there is a difference between evolution and natural selection. Yes, evolution is the obvious end point of natural selection, but they are two different theories!

Ron, go read this thread. I've already debated evolution with Gadgetlady, who quite frankly knows more about what she is trying to debate than you do. She, at least, knows the difference between natural selection and evolution.
