Obviously evolution occurs, and has been documented.
Similarly, there are things about which we will never have answers, and that is where faith comes in, whether you are talking about scientific theory or religious beliefs.
Why people become hateful and judgmental over things that cannot be proven I will never understand. Heck, most wars have been fought, and millions of people killed, simply because one group didn't share the same beliefs with another, and neither could be proven.
Why does it have to be either or? Why can't it be both?
I think humans are arrogant if they think they will ever be able to specifically prove the who, what, when, where and why of this planet, or of humans. This is where faith comes in, and it is where human beings are consistently divided.
There are things regarding spirituality than in this life I may never know. And I am fine with that, because I have my own beliefs. Can I prove them? No. But it doesn't mean I disregard what others believe.
In my view, there are two groups of people; good, and bad. Other than that, people can believe whatever they want to believe.
One main area of conflict is the interpretation of the fossil record.
Even amongst creationists, including groups like AiG, there is recognition of variation within species and natural selection. The belief is that God created kinds of animals with enough variation in the DNA to produce what is labeled as species today.
It’s that variation that is misinterpreted as macro-evolution, or speciation.
The fossil record does not disprove that concept.
Why people become hateful and judgmental over things that cannot be proven I will never understand.
-————————————————————————————Well that’s my beef...specifically...they demand that everything is sheer happenstance with no creation, no design, no intelligence, no purpose, no reason...
and then they turn around and sue people to be silent when they dissent from having ALL children indoctrinated in and confiscating public funds to advance their religion.
That’s my beef.
