My daughter came home today and I asked her what she did at school. She was telling me about science, and how they're learning about Evoloution. I asked her if she believes in eveoloition and she said "no God did it."
She said her teacher also said "I don't believe in this but I have to teach it to you anyway."
I'll be dipped...

She can teach it but others have the right to their opinion. All students have a right to disagree. My two kids flat out said they did not believe it. They were bold enough to surprise the teachers. Admitting creation can not be "proven " but neither can evolution so , both are indeed theories. The is no way to prove neither. Creationists have simple theory. It is so vast and mysterious that only God could have created it. Evolutionists have a problem. They change their theories about every decade. The more one changes their theory the more the theory has suspicion.

The scientific evidence supporting evolution is overwhelming and logically consistent. The men who wrote the bible may have been inspired by God, but had no understanding of science or the scientific method and attempted to answer the mystery of the origins of life. We should understand that they did their best at this problem, but we know better. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbth...Search/true/Evolution_Proof?#Post8255381

I am simple minded when it comes to this discussion. I simply look at the growth of humans in the womb from egg to birth. That is clearly an evolving process. I believe God created all life, but question if he created it to remain as first introduced. Could he just as easily have created us to evolve on Earth, as in the womb, to become what we are today. In my mind, both evolution and creation are in conjunction with each other and both support the others point of view. And, I thank God every day for this wonderful gift.

No scientist has ever claimed the the "theory" of evolution had ever been proven. It is one of many theories that are always taught as a theory. Nothing at all wrong with that, but some Christians get their undies all tied up in knots when the subject is brought up.
For the record I'm a Christian and believe God created the universe and man. I also know that God chose not to provide all of the details of how he created everything in the bible, it is only a rough draft.
I don't believe there is any conflict between the bible and science. Science will someday be able to explain all of the wonders of the bible. God did after all create the science and many of his wonders can now be explained by science. Just because we can't explain creation now only confirms that God is smarter than we are. When he wants up to know the details they will be revealed to us.
When Christians get all up in arms thinking that someone is challenging the bible when the theory of evolution is brought up shows a lack of faith in God to me. There is no doubt that evolution exists in some from. I just have to trust in God and believe he did in fact create everything. I don't sweat the details of exactly how he went about it.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

jMR40. The last half of your closing paragraph is a good answer.

The process of growing in the womb has nothing to do with evolution proper. You clearly must misunderstand what "evolution" entails as an explanatory philosophy of origins.

So if we evolved from apes, of which there are millions of today, and millions of humans today...what happened to the supposed ones in between?

its a lot easier to hold proof of evolution in your hand then it is to prove anything the bible says.

Scientific theory and faith in God can coexist. Unless one has his head up his azz.

Evolutionists have a problem. They change their theories about every decade. The more one changes their theory the more the theory has suspicion. Changing the theory is a result of discovering new evidence that may or may not contradict the old theory. Nothing is static, especially what there is left to learn. We learn new things everyday even in the modern world. We once thought the earth was flat. Discovery of evidence to the contrary cause the flat earthers to change their theory.
