I realize this is very far from this post I am repling to but you say evolution is a history of what has happened and is netiher bad or good. How can you say this when the basic definition of evolution is,"the process from a lower life form to a higher one." How is a higher life form any thing but good? About these morals, you also said the Bible said that. What you failed to mention is the Bible says God created us wih free will. It has nothing to do with society. If it did then society would follow all laws and we would not be having this discussion. A father gets drunk and shoots his kid. Where is society there? The beer commercials? No, that man DECIDED of his own free will to get drunk and suffer the consequences. A man commits rape, that is because he felt the urge. Not once did society show itself there.

I am sorry. It appears that my information was flawed. That is merely the definition Darwin used.

In the original copy of The Origins Of The Species, that is what Charles Darwin wrote. It may say differently in the revised editions. You can not deny that other scientists have said the same thing.

To move lower is entropy confirming creation. To move in the same direction would not be a change, just a descendant. To move higher is evolution.

If life wasn't meant to be lived then why is there death?

I apologize for bringing this so far off topic. I will withdraw from this post so as to cause no further argument on this subject.
