I have always been open-minded about science and evolution. I would hope that
all religious minds would recognize that plants and animals have gone through
some if not many stages of adaptation based on current conditions (weather, food
source, etc). But I do not believe mankind evolved from monkeys or some ameba
out of the ocean. As I like to phrase it... which is probably not an original
concept on my part... evolution through creationism.

It is sad, the current conflict between science and religion. And really not
necessary. The way I prefer to see it is that in science, we are slowly
uncovering the principles that the Creater used in the original and ongoing
creation. It is easy to say that the creationists obviously are not
open-minded at all. What gets mentioned very little, is that, many
biologists postulate that evolution somehow "proves" that life and the
universe itself had a completely random origin ... as in, no God. That is
just as dogmatic and unscientific as the other comment. How could knowledge,
of itself, ever completely establish that God exists? It is a question it
was never designed to answer.

| That's a common response, but it's unfortunately not true. All unifying
ideas

have

nature
