bob have you researched what Darwin and those who thought the same before him believed?
as a Christian I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ.
but those who believe in evolution are ashamed of their belief system. or more to the point would be - have not a clue of what their belief system is and who it was who formed it.
Speak to Eve about evolution. Most theist don't find a conflict between their faith and evolution. Evolution is not a belief system. It's a scientific explanation for the change in characteristic over time. If a better explanation comes along, sure I'll go with that. But the evidence for it is so stupefying it's almost a certainty.
It's like the theory of gravity which we understand so little about I don't believe it on faith.
Do you believe in the theory of gravity Gav?

the images I posted were following my comment re the arrogance of some atheists ie "You KNOW its a Myth, this Season Celebrate Reason!"
Do you think Mohommad ascending to heaven on a winged horse is a myth? What about mormanism and the golden tablet, is that a Myth?

As an evolutionist I also dislike Dawkins. I read the God Delusion and thought it was a very basic argument and I also think he is a bit of a arrogant "rottweiler" but my life as evolution still stands.
exactly, who cares if Dawkins believes in evolution or not. Just coz' he believes in it doesn't make it true. Science is not about authority. What does the evidence point to.

complete disinterest and a lack of need/desire/motivation do not a religion make. regardless.
most of them (atheists) would not engage in these conversations. so you don't get to see them walk talk or quack. its a broad generilisation i know, but i'd say the OP is too.

I have no idea Bob, haven't really given it much thought but I don't feel the need to call unreasonable those people who wish to celebrate their religious beliefs. They all have their reasons for celebrating, obviously.
About evolution, you're right, I don't have a problem with the concept of Theistic Evolution.

It's an easy question. Do you believe that muslims and mormans believe is true or do you think it's more likely to be a myth? It's not a hard question. I'm not asking whether you should disrespect their belief.
How does a theistic evolution differ from scientific evolution?
