I don’t know if I will answer your questions, but LGF is open to anyone who enjoys debate. I personally believe in a God that created this earth and all therein. I also believe that all truth comes from God. Scientific fact seems to point more and more to evolution. In my mind evolution of creatures is an elegant solution to meets changes and needs of species. Why wouldn’t God have created that, or built that into His creation? It makes sense to me that He would have.

As a believer, my cause is not helped when promoters of creationist teachings use falsehoods and fallacious arguments to get creationism into the schools. Also, as a Mormon do Jews, Moslems, baptists etc want me teaching creationism according to my understanding to their children at school? No? I thought not. Likewise I do not want my children being indoctrinated into another faith while at school.

The facts seem to consistently bear out evolution. Fossil record, DNA, adaptations to different environments etc. In my mind, these things are important to understand, elegant to behold, and worth studying. As our knowledge of God’s creation get better, then perhaps our understanding of God does too.
