Who believes in the God created evolution theory?

God > creates everything > doesn't get involved > created evolution to start the workings of human beings, knowing the entire time what would happen > etc...

What's everyones take on that?

I think it would be the happy compromise.

I am not technically an atheist, since that entails saying that there is no possibility of there being a G*D. I am willing to accept the possibility of a starting point of creation, but only science can bring us to G*D, not a primitive myth.

I think theres a distinction between ''there is no God'' and ''I don't know if there is a God, there just isn't enough evidence to believe in one". The former would require someone to travel the entire universe in search of a God - unrealistic, illogical. On the other hand the latter is exactly where I fall, I just havn't seen enough evidence to support any God's existence, and I feel the same as BR regarding the rest of the universe.

No way in fuck the God of the Bible or Allah or Zeus or any of those other mythical Gods have ever existed, I am as certain about this as certainty will permit me to be.

When knowledge and information are obsticles to belief, you know theres a problem with that belief. An omnipotent being wouldn't require you to become a sheep in order to win in this game we call life. That's the most absurd belief in religion "believe this even though it contradicts reality, just have enough faith!"...

Religion had its purpose before science although I don't think it was run well at all.

Now it is simply................outdated.

To you and me, but tell that to 85%-90% of the rest of the 'thinking' world... :neutral:

It's a hard crutch to let go of. And there are many who profit by it being there.

True, those are very important aspects of it...

Another would be the group of people who never actually give this stuff any thought, they just sail through life claiming to be one thing or another because that's how they were brought up without actually ever thinking about it...

I'd guess atleast 40%-50% of the world and 50%-60% of Americans fall into that category.

So in reality, the 30% or so fundies, the ones who believe it word for word, as if the shit came directly from God himself, are the problem.

Christian, Muslim, Catholic, Jewish... doesn't matter, they're all equally as dangerous to the future of mankind.

Reality is a tough thing for most.... religion is a comfort, and hardly examined if it takes away that comfort.

i agree with you guys its quite the conundrum. as one or both of you mentioned for me the most offensive people are the ones who think or consider nothing but what there told or believe from a young age. thats blasphemy against the mental abilities humans are gifted with to consider things in a unbiased way and come to there own proper thought out conclusions imo.

Going back to the main theme of the thread...

I don't believe there should be much argument on how weed got here. The information is out there and all logical signs point to evolution and the big bang. All the questions of "who created the big bang?" and "why are we here?" are trivial.
