Lainey, I'd like to commend you for your postings on this subject. Just absolutely excellent, intelligent, well thought out opinions. You've definately done your homework, rahter than blindly accepting what the mass media often poses as fact. I couldn't have said it better. (as you'll see below)
Well, I guess I'll throw in my two cents...
Faith in God, or being a Christian, does not automatically rule out belief in evolution. Belief in Science automatically rules out belief in evolution.
The fact remains, that evolutionary "thoery" is not scientific "fact." And I've yet to see anyone explain how a theory can be acceptable, and yet blatantly against established scientific laws/facts. Namely the law of biogenesis. Anyone remember this from high school biology class? Life comes only from life. Dead matter can not come together to form life, even if it fell from outer space on a comet or formed in a pool on the side of an ancient volcano as some evolutionists claim. Evolutionary theory also contradicts the scientific laws of thermodynamics. And there are many more examples of why evolution is just plain junk science, too numerous to cover here.
"I shall never believe that God plays dice with the world."- Albert Einstein
"We know perfectly well that if you leave matter to itself, it does not organize itself - in spite of all the efforts in recent years to prove that it does." -Arthur E. Wilder-Smith
"With regard to the origin of life, science...positively affirms creative power." -Lord Kelvin
"When I look at the solar system, I see the earth at the right distance from the sun to receive the proper amounts of heat and light. This did not happen by chance." -Isaac Newton
"No philosophical theory which I have yet come across is a radical improvement on the words of Genesis, that 'In the beginning God made heaven and earth'" -C.S. Lewis
As the evolutionary theory stands today, it has most often been used as an anti-Christian/anti-Biblical attempt to provide an alternative to creation. A naturalistic alternative where God and design are not necessary. Most of the "scientists" who so adamantly defend evolution are also blatantly anti-Christian/anti-Biblical atheists. For this reason as well as others, many Bible-believing Christians view evolutionary theory as it stands today as contradictory to Christianity. I think it's sad to see confused Christians, including my Catholic father-in-law, who have been misled to accept evolution as fact. As far as Biblical reliability and these mythical so called "contradictions," that's a whole 'nother story. And something which I've studied quite a bit. Perhaps I'll post something on that later.

Thank you, CT-Ranger~

That's pretty much the evolutionary conundrum. The riddle is this;
How can a scientific theory, theoretically based solely upon the principles of science & completely void of any concept of religiosity, fail to meet the most basic scientific standards, remain unproven & unprovable, fall humbly & silently before the scrutiny of scientists, contradict reason, experience, & sensory perceptions, yet remain standing as a widely accepted, unquestioned, unchallenged viable answer to the question of origins?
The answer is ..... faith. The very same 'force' that many evolutionists belittle as the unproven, unreasonable, unscientific "crutch" of lesser men.

As many non-religious scientists will also concede ... but not in public forums. Science is about truthful discovery, not agendas or crusades.

Dear Anthony,
I'm glad you enjoyed that. I wish I could take full credit for it, but that belongs to an author who's name escapes me at this time (hence, no footnote). The title of the book of his, which I read over 20 years ago, was "Rudy's Little Red Waggon". It was the published version of his Doctoral Thesis on the influence of media and advertising on American thought. That particular little blurb was found in the chapter titled "Hitler is alive and well, and selling Volkswagens in Argentina". I am presently digging through boxes of my junk in the attic, garage, storage shed, etc. to locate my old copy of this book. If you like, once I find it, I could mail it to you. This work was ahead of its time (originally published in 1973) in shinning light on the Political/Media/Advertising Complex, which has all but completely ravaged our Represenative Republic to this date.
Your Humble Servant,

Anthony,
P.S.- This work is apolitical in nature, no left or right wing slant. I guess it is why some of my more conservative colleages never thought much of, or even tried to read his work.
