"A scientific theory is much different than a theory in other disciplines."

OK. I'll grant you that one.

"Nothing in science is ever "proven" but evidence for a hypothesis can become so convincing that it becomes a theory."

That's true, only in reverse for Darwinism. A theory has become so convincing that it became evidence.

"Evolution is a real, testable, part of science."

It is not possible for a DNA sequence to have sprung up by accident from some primordeal soup AND then to have the language interpreter spring up from the same soup to READ the DNA and THEN for the tiny "machines" to have assembled themselves purely by chance and made life and THEN.....for it to have happened again. It violates the Second law of thermodynamics and cannot happen. Not even once. The world and everything in it is spiralling towards entropy.

Therefore, "Evolution" (ie, bacteria to humans evolution, not to be confused with the Christian idea of Natural Selection) is neither real OR testable.


"It is every bit as real as gravity, believe me."

I believe you. Gravity is real.

"Evolution does not require faith, as is often claimed.
The evidence supports it wholly, and no evidence against it holds an ounce of water when put up to the rigors of science."

I certainly don't want to jeapordize your "faith", just give some food for thought here. The burden of proof is NOT to dis-prove evolution, the burden of proof is on YOU to prove it ever happened and you cannot because it isn't possible.

The proof for creation is in the creation itself. It's observable and it is the original basis for science.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Romans 1:20-25

"Often evolutionary theory is rejected by fundamental religious folks due to its being at odds with Genesis. The Bible makes no reference to the basic principles of physics or chemistry, yet these are not often questioned by anti-evolutionists."

Actually, ANYTHING that is at odds with the historical record of what the Lord has done will have to be questioned because the Bible is completely true. See, THAT's the problem in a nutshell. Over time, people have stopped believing the historical record and turned away from GOD.

Why would a christian have to question anything else? We trust that science is reliable. ALL of the bad science was born from Darwin's warped ideas. He destroyed accountability. If man is just muck and is not accountable to a Holy God, then Man makes his OWN rules, no more morals. No need for them. left-hand path satanism is based on doing whatever feels good. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law" or whatever Crowley's ridiculous moral code says.....

"Evolutionary theory does NOT contradict any of the important tenants of religion. The basic moral principles meant to be taught in the Bible have nothing to do with science."

You couldn't be more wrong here if you tried. Once you poke holes in a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis, it opens up the door to begin to "interpret" other parts of scripture. It destroys the gospel message that Jesus Christ died on a tree 2,000 years ago to bear the burden of sins. Everyone's sins. Yours and mine.

It's also how cults are formed. Many cults have sprung up from one verse taken out of context.

"Nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution."

Ask Carolus Linnaeus that. What would he say?

"The Earth's creation is the glory of God, as seen from the works of Nature by Man alone."

I will pray for you and remember that the one GOD loves you as we are all his creation. He waits with open arms for all to come to Him.
