That’s sort of the impression that I’ve always gotten. You either believe it or you don’t. That’s never been enough for me.

Default In order to believe in anything

You have to have faith. Ever since my parents died and I am feeling lonely or sad I often have a dream of the good times with them and never the bad. I have faith that they are letting me know they are in Good Hands. If you don't have faith in something, life to me, is not worth living. So I hope you have faith in something.

Default Hope

I have hope that there is an afterlife and that some kind of higher being is looking out for us. Faith doesn’t rest on logical proof or material evidence therefore I wouldn’t rule out Darwinism.

I agree 100%. I lost both my parents within the last 4 years. I feel their presence all the time. What is that.......other than the FACT that people don't really die. Their spirits live on in us and our children....and all those who loved them.

I don't "believe" in evolution. I think that there is very strong evidence for it as a scientific theory. I am a Christian, but I see no conflict between my faith and evolution. I don't have faith in evolution, but I think it is extremely improbable that it is incorrect. If it is incorrect, however, so be it and scientists should seek an alternate explanation for changes in species.

Default Theory of Evolution conflicting with God

Originally Darwin did not intend his theory of Natural Selection to conflict with the theory of creationism, but ratehr to support it. I mean, I am an atheist, but still, why can't christians just embrace evolution?

THE ANSWER:
They do NOT read the Bible ....

Quote:
Gen 1:20
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl [that] may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
It is the best proof of Evolution to date ... the Bible!
