Default Re: Evolution, Fact or Fiction?

1. The Bible is a compound of history, legend and knowledge mixed so that it's difficult to know where one ends and another one begins. It has the knowledge about the reality that some people in Mesopotamia had a few thousands years ago. If you look at writings from the ancient Egypt, China or Peru you will find also a lot of knowledge and also you can interpret it in some ways so that they appear to describe accurately something advanced while they are not. Ambiguity is not your friend. Science is clear, it's based on Mathematics and formal logic, it does not tolerate ambiguity.

2. Evolution is not about how life came to be (that is called abiogenesis), but about how species SLOWLY change and how changes in our world controls population, favoring the survival of the most prepared specimens. How different species are formed is explained by mutation, genetic recombination and natural selection when MILLIONS of years passes. You cannot see natural evolution in action in the course of your life unless you were to live thousands of years.

3. About the origin of the Universe there are theories that suggest some possibilities without recuring to God in any sense. Some have greater probabilities of being true but there is one thing that they share: They are based on evidences that can be measured and verified today.
