Alia: They are, after all, servants of Beelzebub. They are the one single cause of the world's griefs and despair, having spun their evoweb and encompassing the globe with its sticky strands of lies and deceit.

Jeanie: I homeschooled my kids partly cause of the false educational precepts being taught regarding this very thing along with the "values" being taught which advocate tolerance of alternative family lifestyles. I also think History has been changed.... I agree that believing in evolution would pretty much discount faith as Mordred has actually demonstrated as though the Bible or ANY scripture is a fairy tale. I hsed mine during their younger formative years but both went to High School and my younger also to Middle. They both have a very strong base in their faith and a strong sense of who they are in this higly sexualized world. (Hard time to grow up in my opinion). I don't think evolutionism is alone the very root of all evil, but it isn't helping. It definitely detracts from who we really are as sons and daughters of God and makes it justifiable to do whatever you want.

I do not think it should be taught as fact because it isn't. Obviously there is adaptation and evolution...but to carry it so far as to state the big bang theory as fact... I did not realize how wide spread or passionately this issue was believed till I stumbled onto this forum.

I do not think we can ever prove scientifically what our points are necessarily, their very nature of being spiritually doesn't allow for that other than on a spiritual level (if you choose to ignore the obvious intelligence with which everything so meticulously works together along with the consistency of "stories" and records through the ages, etc. etc., but neither are the "proof" of evolutionists convincing to me.

BUT even having said all that, God loves us all. I think we need to be respectful of each other no matter what we think or believe. The general principles of evolution are wrong.... I just don't like the idea of condemning others who don't have a "testimony" if you will of the Savior at this time. I've been confused by scientific issues myself even as a believer which I have always been... I was born one! : ) Seriously... But not everyone inherently does know and some have not been formally taught...or they have lost faith for some reason. Or they have lost faith in organized religion... or they are "cursed" (kidding) with an analytical mind. My mind is somewhat that way except I like the social sciences most. Because of my faith, though, I'm able to keep these things balanced as a rule although I have had my own times of confusion. Anyway - I just think we should be careful to say things that would not be hurtful on a personal level..or too judgmental. It only serves to alienate and as a few have said...when we feel we're under attack we don't see anything else but that.

You sound quite passionate in your beliefs...are you Muslim if you don't mind? Some people's beliefs actually scare me. (As in the taliban, etc.) I think such fanaticism is removed from reality or at least the reality of what our Heavenly Father and Savior are about.
