Well stated SR!

In the States this whole evolution vs creation thing has become a political agenda, keeping the focus away from what's important. It makes absolutely no difference in the long run!

Evolution in it's most basic form is a theory, Theistic Evolution in it's most basic form is a theory, Simple Creation boils down to faith.

Whatever you happen to believe about how the earth was formed and how life came to be won't get you into Heaven or send you to Hell so it has become a platform for political posturing and media shark fests! So much bickering over trivial things only serves to reinforce the doubts and disgust of those who feel like CJ, I think it's a shame to cause anyone to look at their world or humanity cynically or with questions like this.

If a person professes Christianity, they should hold themselves, and police themselves, to a higher standard of respect and love and not let these kinds of squabblings taint another person's perception of their faith.
