I'm a fencesitter of sorts.
It's as dangerous to subscribe completely to science as it is to do the same with religion. I grew up Catholic, you take religion with a grain of salt. I think it's also wise to do the same with scientific theory. (yes, evolution is a theory! not a fact.)

ev·o·lu·tion (plural ev·o·lu·tions)
noun 1. biology theory of development from earlier forms: the theoretical process by which all species develop from earlier forms of life. On this theory, natural variation in the genetic material of a population favors reproduction by some individuals more than others, so that over the generations all members of the population come to possess the favorable traits.

Okay, no. It's a theory. It's like how there was once water on mars. They've found many things to point to evidence of water on mars (ie- the presence of hemotite in certain areas can give strong evidence that there was ONCE water) but even NASA scientists can't say for fact that there has been water on mars. There is a HUGE difference between scientific theory and scientific fact, my friend. Don't you think that if they had found strong enough evidence to call it fact it would shut up all other schools of thought pretty damn fast? The earth being flat 100's of years ago was also scientific theory. Woops, I guess someone was wrong about that. Now, please learn and understand the difference between THEORY and FACT and then you can drop and give me 20.

I grew up being Catholic as well...But I see the difference between Theory of Evolution and Belief of GOD....
There is much more to say about Evolution then God, cause its something that remains shared, Not everyone has the same belief in same GODs ... I will give a exemple Evolution:Will the plant grow nice and big or will he die? God:Will a miracle happen or not? Evolution is much harder to abuse and believe but it is something that we all share so thats what makes the balance between them 2 worlds....Only tomorrow will tell you if its true or not true.... God is something that is in you, so thats something that only you believe in, Its kinda the same thing to make your self your own ideas on someone when you perfectly know that you can't tell what that person is really made of.... You can see it the same way as Evolution except here you will never have tomorrow answers, only if you are surrealists on reality witch is something to not play with if you live with others... Everyone can have different definitions on Evolution and God.....

i was being sarcastic.. of course it couldnt have been flat... the only reason people may have actually thought the world was once flat is cause they didnt have the technology to say otherwise...
Now in present day ... we have the technology ans science to prove theories into facts.... IE: they can prove that todays humans have evolved over the centuries from other upright mammals... (neanderthals.. homo habilis... etc) (THEY CAN PROVE IT!!!!)

yes i think its a fact.. cause they can prove that we have evolved over time... and thats what im getting at.... im comparing this to the fact that some people think we all of a sudden were created by a higher being which is bullshit in my "opinion"
if i can see and comprehend the fact that we have evolved then it is a fact in my books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not one for monotheist beliefs. My view of history is very cynical and critical. I view the things that many ancient societys did in connection with the earth, sky and nature around them, as being much closer to anything called "God". All the horrible events that took place in history in God's name just turned me off the whole thing. I believe in a higher spiritual connection, a different level of consciousness and the energy of the planet. IMO, a magical Single Male God, is far too conservative and narrowminded ideal. That doesen't mean you all can't believe what you want. Your reality is what you make of it and how you occupy this space and time is up to you.
