Interesting topic here,
Hmmm, I though a religion was a set of ethical prinicples to live by and to base your life off. Evolution does not set forth ethics nor does it say how we are to live our lived by. Why? Again, we are crossing Magesterium most horribly. The questions of religion and ethics lie in the Magesterium of Religion or the Magesterium of Law, not in the Magesterium of Science. The Magesterium of Science does not answer how we should live our lives. It merely tries to answer how life came about [scientific] and places characteristics of life to things.
It is not intersted in matters of "religion"
More faith to believe in evolution. Actually, I believe that it would take more faith to believe in creation. I am answering this outside of the Magesterium of Science. To me, things are easier to believe if you can see evidence for what you believe in. I do not walk to class and see a man being "created" from the dust. But everyday, I see the way how things change over time.
7 + 5 does not always = 12. I am a math major, it only takes redefining the number system.
Interesting you mention NOMA, what do you think of it? Can you please clarify the last paragraph, I got lost. Somewhere, you jumped a lot of conclusions.

Hi,
To clarify some terms that I used in the paper. I am well aware of the difference in normal and religious faith. I should have specified which meaning I meant. For the confusion, I apologize.
To believe in creation you have to use normal faith and religious faith combined. With evolution you would take normal faith to believe in it. It is not a dogma that you live by.
Thanks for catching that. Thought, I made it clear. Guess not.

Interesting reply, sory so late. Have not been online for awhile. Will respond to this one tomorrow at school.
You still have not responded to the last question that I have asked.
Look forward to seeing your reply.
