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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
