--They can I guess in a sence but when looked at the whole picture, including the various verses in Genesis, it simply contredicts what it says. You have to twist and bend and even invalidate much of Genesis for it to sound even slightly adequate. Though this doesn't make relevance whether you accept Jesus and thus inherit his kingdom. I really have no extream problem with evolution when looked at in that sence, but it is publicized in the schools as if it discredits God and the bible directly and thus leading to an abundance of lost souls[/QUOTE]
Evolution, and science in general, does not address religion or God or the supernatural at all. If everyone in a science classroom was Hindu or Bhuddist, would it be OK to teach science, but not if everyone is Protestant Fundamentalist Christian?
Science is the naturalistic explanations of naturalistic phenomena. That's it.
Should The Atomic Theory of Matter, The Germ Theory of Disease, or Gravitational Theory not be taught in schools, because if some religious sects feel that the teaching of these subjects "discredits God"?

the way teachers teach evolution sertainly is inconceivable when considering the validity of his word, though I do know that the bible isn't going to get much of a part if any in the public school system, its the way they are teaching, its simply indoctrination instead of education.
Pure Bull, TC, this is pure sour-grapes bull.
Creation "science" is religiously-based and it's fundamental tennets are based not upon evidence and observation, but upon faith that a particular interpretation of a particular part of a particular chapter in Genesis is correct, with no evidence ever changing that.

I have no problem with theistic evolution. It is the most logical way to believe in God, IMO.
