This topic has been brought up several times and I feel that it needs to be looked at in a thread of its own.

I placed it in the spirituality section because this ??debate? is fueled by many religious people.

The reason I created this thread is to facilitate discussion between people like myself, a strong atheist and educated to a high degree in science, and any number of others. Ie, non-scientific, Christians, fundamentalists, atheists and anyone else who is interested.

I have a very strong grasp of evolution from an ecological and genetic background and I have read for hours on the internet trying to find valid criticism of evolution from any background. I have found some but they aren't anything like what I hear on this website or on other websites I have participated in.

One thing that is very important is that Evolution does not conflict with Christianity. As we can see with its acceptance among Christians in Europe for example. To put it simplest for a Christian, evolution was just designed and put into action by God.

I will not and encourage others not to respond to what I refer to as fundamentalist criticisms, such as "evolution could not have occurred because it says in the bible that god created adam and eve".
There is just no point in discussing or even considering these "arguments" because that is just a debate about the bible and god.

The posting of links to another website as your argument, to me, is unacceptable. All this tells me is that you do not understand the argument and you're sending me to go research it for you. But, I wish to encourage the posting of links to verify what you have said and I will try to do this as much as possible.

And similarly making a unverified statement but justifying it by saying "and science has proven it so you cannot dispute it" Is also useless and unacceptable. Because, if you expect me to believe your statement based on that reasoning, you should believe scientists about evolution

Now please post anything about evolution: things that you have been told that discredit or negate it, things you don't understand, things you want to know, things you want others to know or if you disagree with anything I have said or will say.
