Christians and evolution . . .

In response to what my stance on evolution is:

“God did it is a mystery. That he did it is a certainty. And for sure, man became man when God breathed the breath of life into him and as such became the progenitor of all mankind. Evolution is a theory which at best serves as a scientific taxonomy but not a template for creation. Let us continue to investigate scientifically, but in the process we must not ignore the evidence to the contrary. Using mathematics alone as a probability mechanism to prove evolution through random selectionism is discouraging to say the least—as a matter of fact an impossibility within any reasonable framework of history or time and space as we know it. Genesis is vague on the process, other than it indicates that there was an ex-nihilo creation of substance after which there was a process of arrangement to produce what we now know as reality. Whether this process of arrangement was a sequence of sudden instantaneities or a slower process following the “Let there be” pronouncements is immaterial. He did it, and that’s enough for me. Creationism has a place in our schools’ curriculum not as a particular prejudicial religious position, but as a viable option to atheistic evolutionary theory.”

I am yours for the journey,
