Why do think BOTH can't be the case? Actually as Carl Sagan said we came from starstuff.

God is truth and one cannot remove God from the earth.He created it and he can do what he wants with it.

State this law, if you claim that it exists.
Species change over time until they are different enough from the original to be a new species. Adaptation, inheritance, mutation, isolation all play a part. It is th process by which the multitude of life, all with a common ancester, came to be, and are coming to be.

That is certainly damning with faint praise.

There are plenty of Christians that have no problem reconciling evolution and a scientific based origin of life. It seems those that take the bible to be more literal than others have more of an issue with science in general.

You cannot relegate the creator of the universe to a particular place or time.

Besides - we aren't discussing whether God should be taught about in public schools, we are discussing whether evolution should be taught in public schools.

Oddly, many evolution supporters seem unable to grasp that concept, and hence keep going off topic.

An evidence-less fairy tale. Sad that you swallowed it. Bad news for you - there is no eternal life, here, there or anywhere. Downer, I know, but man-up and face it.

Your brain cannot understand it. Sorry. One has to have spiritual rebirth to understand it or it is just foolishness to them.
