hello Riper,
yes people will believe what they choose, no doubt.
But there is something to be said for interpretation. You stated that "evolution denies the very first thing written in the bible" and of course that would mean God. I believe what we are addressing here is the evolution of man. With that being said, God created man from dust: what's in dust? If we look beyond the statement that God created man as if in a poof, then maybe we can ascertain that those items found in the earth and subsequent dust are the very things that make up the evolutionary process. From the most simplest organism to variation to adaptation to reproduction and or mutation can lead to the existance of what we know as mankind. What is a day? That God created man on the sixth day-what is that measurement to God? God does not run on man's time table and it would be ludicrous to think he does. Any logically minded person would agree that the earth is not six-seven thousand years old yet mainstream Christianity would want you to believe that.To take the bible in its most literal form is a recipe for disaster, and I believe that history has proven that. There is absolutely no reason why evolution should not be taught in schools. The mindset needs to change. It is these people who would prevent this from happening are the same ones who choose to put God in a box. A god that they have created as opposed to a creator.Science is science and religion is religion they are separate but can coexist, as long as minds remain open and not constrained to interpretation.
