Genesis does not talk about the Big bang or apes evolving. The problem is this is not how to interpret the Bible in the right way, the thing is you don't use an idea to fit in with the Bible but we see if the idea fits in with the Bible. Theistic evolution is not in harmony with the Bible, but it is in total conflict with it. Misrepresents the nature of the christian God, allows millions of years of death and horror before sin. It makes the Christian God look weak and lacking power because God had to Lie in Genesis that he created the world in 6 days and wait millions of years of death and evolution until Adam and Eve came on the scene even though Genesis(Bible) says there was no death in the creation week.Quote:Theistic Evolution- Is stupid, because we know that the Bible contradicts Evolution at all levels.
You might do with a re-reading of Genesis 1, especially verses 11 and 24. A pretty fair case can be made here that God created biological evolution.

And whether it's intelligent or not, atheists can believe whatever they want. They can believe in magic pixies if they like.
If beliefs have to make sense, then theism would already be illegal.
So you don't think life on earth came about by chance, huh?
