Theistic evolution

Darwin wrote his evolutionary theory, which is widely accepted among academics in varying degrees, over a century ago, however it is still not taught in many public schools in America. In my own experience with creation versus evolution, I was taught neither. I took Biology in my freshman year of high school, and I was taught nothing about human origins. I was somewhat okay with this because I knew that I went to a private school where many of the students and teachers had strongly religious…

of life tend to fall into one of two categories, evolution and creation a form of intelligent design. In most schools, the default setting for teaching about the origins of life is evolution as the most scientific and realistic explanation. However, I believe that it is important that this bias against religion of any kind and hence the discrediting of creation should be eliminated and instead the scientific evidence for both creation and evolution to be taught without forcing religious…

love Jesus and Accept Evolution. Evolution is the theory that animals evolved into different species over time.

Since Darwin first published his groundbreaking theory of evolution, the origin of life has long been a controversial topic for scholars. For theists, they hold the idea that Darwin’s evolution theory fails to explain how first living organism comes from. They believe that failure to show how the fist living organism occurs implies that there is a creator for life who is God. However, the naturalists such as Miller and Haldane shows that chemicals can react each other and form amino acid and…

It often amazes me that people have a difficult time with the concept that Bigfoot is a human hybrid. You honestly expect a humanoid creature that is over seven feet tall, covered in hair, that has abilities that are essentially supernatural, that possesses superhuman strength, that can live so close to civilization, yet remain almost completely hidden from man, and that possesses an extremely high intellect to have “normal” DNA!? I would expect it to have strange and unexplainable DNA…

He believed in the movement and decided to help in any way he could. In…
