The evolution theory makes perfect sense and I wonder if those who oppose it have actually studied it in detail. It is completely compatible with Christianity, I know people who believe in both God and evolution. After all, it would be foolish to interpret all of the bible literally. Does revelations really talk of a beast with seven heads emerging from the sea, and a dragon that flies across the sky collecting stars in its wings? I doubt it. It makes more sense that these descriptions are symbolic, carrying a deeper meaning.
The following mechanics by which evolution takes place is unquestionable: Within any population there is variation. Organisms that possess characteristics beneficial to their environment have an increased chance of surviving up until maturity. These organisms produce offspring who will also have these beneficial features, having inherited them.
Pink, it doesn't make sense to me how you can simply "divide all the parts and make them into days and stuff like that." How does it happen? You say that evolution doesn't make sense, but it has mechanics. Does seperating "them" into days make sense? What exactly are we seperating and how does the process work?
And you say we're not made by atoms, but it is a well known fact that we are. What are we made of, if not from atoms?
By all means believe in God and Christ, but I think labelling evolution "preposterous" while in the same paragraph describing something "dividing the parts" to make days and such is rather strange.
I certainly believe there's more to existence than what we can ever comprehend, but I'm cautious to simplify it into a mysterious entity only described in ancient books. But who knows?
