Actually, the more I study evolution, the more I believe in a supreme being. I know this is gonna really twist some creationist knickers but I humbly present the following:
1)The Bibile states that the world was created in 7 days...it
does not state the length of said 7 days, so they could
have been much, much longer ("A thousand years are but a
day in Thy sight...")
2)The Creator did not deign to tell us exactly what happened
in those seven days...only the very rough outline given in
in the first chapter of Genesis. It might have been
instant creation or He may have let evolution do its
thing. The fact is that we do not know--and short of
to Heaven and being told the whole story, we may never
know.
3)I find it humbling and beautiful that the Creator MAY
have taken a humble species of ape and given said species
souls. Remember, every one, it is His universe and He
can do whatever He wants.
I honestly do not see a problem with a believer in Creationism also believing in evolution. No sane scientist would say that evolution is the whole story...if he or she does, then obviously they are working to a non-beliving agenda.
Also, I suspect that science takes a non-creationist approach because there are other religions out there besides Christianity...so, whose Creation story do you teach or endorse? This may offend the evangelical Christian mind, but you do not gain converts by willfully
insulting another's belief, no matter how stupid you might think it is.
