quote:
Actually, no, that is not the case. In fact, just about every major Christian and Jewish Church has come out in favor of teaching the TOE and opposing creationism. One of the big reasons is that almost no Christian sect take Genesis creation stories literally.
One of the reasons, but only one, is the mutually exclusive descriptions found in Genesis 1 & 2. But a far bigger reason is that there is simply overwhelming evidence that evolution happened as seen in the physical evidence and that the stories as outlined in Genesis simply never happened.
There's only one problen jar. The reason why you think there is "overwhelming evidence that evolution happened" is because that is where your nose sniffs. You will acquire the information you are interested in, thus clouding your mind and thinking "it's overwhelming evidence". Problem is, you're not looking past your own nose. It's simply known, there are others who disagree with you. Others will tell you "there is no overwhelming evidence", and in fact will say "there is overwhelming evidence against it". It all has to do with what you're looking for--and what you "wish" to be true. You will always find apparent information to back your desired wishes. The internet has proven that. It's time internet users climb out of their shell.
