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.

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!

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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
