Pay attention to #1 and #2

How am I possibly expected to trust that the "fossils" that support your theory are real when we look at hoaxes like these?

I understand why you are skeptical (don't even need the link).
I wish that I could also understand why you think that evolution being false = God being real. That has never made a bit of sense to me. Explain?

I didn't come to my belief in God because of a disbelief in evolution.

That's a pretty flimsy reason. Are you suggesting that tens of thousands of fossils are all hoaxes? Does the existence of religious hoaxes void religion entirely?

The OP is being completely disingenuous.

I personally do not believe that evolution being false = God being real or that God being real means that evolution has to be false. There is just no physical proof for the theory of evolution... God could still be real if evolution was true and evolution could still be false if God wasn't real.

I simply do not believe that belief in Evolution and belief in God is contradictory.

I didn't think that you did. If anything, I figured the opposite. That you came to your disbelief in evolution (or your interest in it either way) because of your belief in God. Why else would you care about what evolution scientists think or do? Of course, this is all just more culture war stuff (which is fine, fight away) I just thought I would ask because it frustrates me when Christians imply that either evolution or the Bible is true. That view is so limited that I can barely understand the conflict.
