God conceived of–not literally “created”–everything at once but that some would only come to manifest at a certain point in time? This would indeed have all scientific appearances of evolution, of one kind of beast becoming another, but God still having done this magnificent deed during the act of creation.

I agree in part with the above. I would accept that creation and evolution are interrelated. We are created in the womb as a single cell entity then evolved and at last born as a human. The same would be with other that the human species. It’s very difficult and impossible for me to believe that humans evolved from apes and suchlike

“Similarly, the pro-evolution arguers insisting that such miraculous events could occur purely by random chance seems too optimistic for my tastes. We have very little evidence of “evolution gone horribly wrong” which would inevitably need to happen much more frequently than evolution getting it right to get us to where we are today.”

I also used to think that evolution was being guided by an intelligent mind, but a friend pointed out to me that at its core, evolution is just the survival of the fitest. So there are constantly things being born in all species that are slightly different each other (i.e. birds with longer beaks that make them better at gathering more food) and the strongest variants have the best ability to survive, and therefore have the highest chances to reprodce(and the mutations with lesser atributes don’t have as high of a chance to reproduce and eventually die off).

Everything is just Zeros and Ones, to be, or not to be.

I used to believe in God, but now I think We are God. To be Self Aware is to be God.

Heres a good speech George Carlin made, its pretty interesting http://www.celebatheists.com/?title=George_Carlin

This verse is important to me, because it explains how the hardships that are given to us are bearable. God gives us challenges up to what we can bear and that when we get tempted, he would always provide a way out. AMEN!

I’m not a programmer but you have given me an idea how to contribute back to the Open Source movement. Once again, thanks!
