ID and evolution are not mutually exclusive. Most Christians believe in both.

Christians believe in micro-evolution, they dont believe that Man came from monkey.

Where do you come up with this [censored]? or am I being leveled?

i thought this was true?

I was never taught this, and Ive been through about 13 years of catholic school. What was taught to us is that the bible was written by man, and not to be taken literally. There are FUNDAMENTALIST christians that believe it, but thats a fairly small group of people. We I got out of my schooling is that, we evolved, teh science as far as that goes is undeniable, but at some point where science fails to explain where everything came from, there is something higher that created it (ie the begining of the universe or whatever), and thats where faith comes in.


edit: I am under the imression that most christians do not actually believe that we were made from adam and eve

This is interesting to me. I can't tell what's really being said here, and think that it's one of 2 options.

1. There are holes in the current understanding, and you should have faith that God did it.

2. There are holes in the current understanding, and to avoid making your brain explode just accept that it happened somehow and have faith that it's not some magic.

This is basically the what im saying duke, and those are your two options. Im personally never giong to be doing any research to find how "everything was made". Im not smart enough, no one on this forum is, so, just in case there is a god, Im going to believe in one, no harm done. I mean, basically all these "atheists" are worshipping a god themselves, they just act condescending about it. There at some point has to be faith that either science can explain the orgins, or faith that there is a god, to me, having faith in god is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY smarter, I mean look at the consequences, if it turns out the atheists are right, what do you get out of it? You get to whip out your e-penis on a stupid forum and say "look we were right, all you god believers are stupid", and then we have to eat some crow. Big [censored] deal, right?
