I heard it said once that there's never been an atheist in a fox hole. The day may come that you cry out to "sky daddy".

A fool says in his heart, there is no God.

you know the old saying, give them enough rope

No kidding. I think that's why they called it Darwin's Theory and not Darwin's Fact. Wow. Back away from the tree, there's a whole big beautiful forest around it. Too bad all you see is a little bark.

You mean, speculating that we share a common ancestor.

The theory of evolution goes back to fish climbing out of the sea and eventually becoming human. Where is the proof that a fish became a mammal?

A two percent difference is all that is needed to be a different species.

the orbiting galaxies in the universe are the gears of the ultimate watch

Dam, and I thought Evolution was a golf cart made by EZGO? I agree with Pugmom, the Big Bang was a result of God lighting his f@ r+s on fire.

Of course evolution is a thing. Just look at the difference between Pluto and Goofy.

GOD? Someone the ancients believed in to accept things they couldn't explain that modern science has since found evidence for or against. As an MD, I really thought that we had moved on from the GOD theory to actual Science.

Hmmmmm.

Say that the poster was not an MD, but instead a mechanic: the guy who fixes complicated automobiles about which we rank-and-filers know little or nothing. Would that mechanic be justified in believing that the complicated machinery upon which he works "just happened", or would he have to admit that, at some point along the evolution of machinery, there had to be some sort of intelligent design?

On the contrary, I find it amazing that anyone doesn't believe in a Creator God. There is zero chance that the earth and everything on it with all its complexity and diversity is an accident.

People who believe in evolution from "nothing" do so without the education to understand what would be required for this to be true. You believe that a wrist watch is evidence of a watch maker. Yet the much more complex strand of DNA just came into existence without any design input? Nonsense.

One example: the flood of Noah described in the Bible is a much more plausible explanation for sedimentary rock and the fossil record than millions / billions of years of evolution.

A taste of another view of the evidence provided by fossils & rocks:

Mysticism and reason are antithetical.

Given the number of possibilities, number of stars, etc. it would be at unlikely not to think that there is other life somewhere

You always were. For instance, the genes that know how to process sugar into energy are in the mitochondrial DNA of all mammals.

Thank God I am an American so my reason could differ from yours.
