We are scientists, grateful for the freedom to earn Ph.D.s and become members of the scientific community. And we are religious believers, grateful for the freedom to celebrate our religion, without censorship. Like most scientists who believe in God, we find no contradiction between the scientific understanding of the world, and the belief that God created that world. And that includes
Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
Many of our fellow Americans, however, don't quite see it this way, and this is where the real conflict seems to rest.
And further in the article...
Evolution is not a chaotic and wasteful process, as the critics charge. Evolution occurs in an orderly universe, on a foundation of natural laws and faithful processes. The narrative of cosmic history preceding the origin of life is remarkable; the laws enabling life appear finely tuned for that possibility. The ability of organisms to evolve empowers them to adapt to changing environments. Our belief that God creates through evolution is a satisfying claim uniting our faith and our science. This is good news.
OK - that's enough to get the general tone of the article.
I honestly do not see how they can come to that conclusion. They really don't give any scientific data to support this view. They declare it - that settles it.
The truth is everything created will procreate "after their own kind". That phrase is repeated in Genesis 1. There is no cross breeding between a horse and a dog for example. A monkey can not evolve into a human being.
Gen. 2:7 - Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.
If the Bible is truly believed upon, how can anyone support evolution after reading this verse?
There are numerous ways that science and the Bible support each other. Evolution is not among those ways.
