Genesis Creation vs. Darwin's Macroevolution Myth

[ideologue08]

ALTER2EGO -to- MISTER AGENDA:The expression "could have" amounts to speculation aka personal opinion.

That's not his point. The lack of a verified scientific theory regarding the origins of life has no bearing on the validity of the theory of evolution, for which there is ample evidence. He isn't speculating that god may have dipped his finger into the primal soup and conjured up a few single-celled organisms. He's pointing out that even if this was the case, it doesn't invalidate our understanding of why life is so diverse.

You seem quick to dismiss his opinion, yet have placed a great deal of faith on unverifiable claims made by ancient men who weren't even concerned with whether or not they had their stories straight. Or do you have some evidence for your creationist claims that go beyond filling a gap or admiring the night sky? Let's hope you're not going to rely on Frances Hitching for help on this one.

Well, the theory of evolution is scientifically valid, there's no question about that, it does make sense. But for Creationists such myself, that is of no concern to me because I believe in the concept of miracles, it is not inconsistent for a person who believes that Moses parted the red sea, or the burning bush or the Christ cures the leper, raises the dead etc. etc. to believe that God created humans directly. So the theory of evolution is the only valid conclusion provided that you reject all scriptural evidences and beliefs. So in the end, it all goes back to religious/non-religious beliefs, it's a theological issue for me first and foremost.
