Evolution Question
The bristling that comes from religous zealots (Mormon and non) at the mention of the word evolution has always baffled me. The bible does not say HOW God created the physical form that he blew the breath of life into.
I fail to understand why anybodies faith in God would be shaken by the belief that God used natural forces in the creation process. Does it make us anything less than the children of God if he used macro evolution to produce a physical body that was in the likeness of Adams spirit? Or does it show that God works in an ordered, precise, natural way.
My evolution professor at the Y said it best when he said that evolution is the process by which speciation was brought to the earth and God was the author of the process. When he came to a point where specific translocations were needed he made them happen. Hence the explanation for the complexity of the human eye. God is in the gaps.
