So what is your definition of evolution SoSick? Do you agree with RAZD's or do you have your own?
As I said earlier, evolution is a model for how life works, and it's the model that best fits the evidence. It does not explain how life began, which is addressed by the theory of abiogenesis. There is nothing about the theory of evolution that requires a person to reject God or indeed morality. (The question of whether people can have morals without religion is also one I feel strongly about and can perhaps be addressed later.) Many scientists do believe that God created the universe. The method he uses for continual creation is evolution. You and Russ set up a false dichotomy by claiming that you must choose either evolution or the Bible because neither is compatible with the other. This is only the case if you choose to believe the Bible word-for-word as a scientific text, which the vast majority of Christians do not.
