I'm a bit bored and was interested in how many GMC'ers are religous.

Theist - believes in the existence of a God or Gods
Agnostic - isn't sure about the existence of a God or Gods
Atheist - does not believe in the existence of a God or Gods

Religion in it's entirety is a way for man to come up with a back story for things he cannot readily explain. Could it be rooted in truth? Absolutely.

Evolution is not a "fact" it is an "accepted theory", there are COLOSSAL gaps in the fossil record that just cannot be explained. The evolution we know to be true would require DOZENS of intermediate steps between human and ape and magically not a single one we've been able to find and verify as authentic. In fact the only real argument for Evolution is "there's no proof for creation" which is a circular argument. Evolution can be looked at as likely, but is a far cry from definite. Creation could still be a definite, so it falls into a likely category as well.

I could just as easily say we were put on the planet by aliens and we wouldn't have proof either way.

Not really. Its actually the opposite laugh.gif

The theory of evolution got tons of other scientific evidence, not only fossils.

Catholics (at least in the US) have accepted Evolution for about 50 years. Largely I think due to the abundance of high quality Catholic Universities. Not really a bearing on the reality of God. Perhaps a bearing on the level of respect that is or is not given to those not of our species. If you go back to the early church, you will see that creatures were given respect. It is no accident the blood sacrifice of animals ended with the early church.

Of course evolution explains things, one of the most solid theories out there, not quite up there with Relativity or Quantum Mechanics, but in the general direction.
