I never quit... and I'm living my life quite happily... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Although as Christians we are warned that we will be judged and go through hard times just because we're Christians and I do find that to be true at time but I'm pretty happy as well :3

I still believe because I think the idea of morals is super-natural and shouldn't exist if it wasn't for G-d. Also inteligent design makes sense... the DNA in us definitely seems like something an inteligent being would make... it's information and information comes from inteligence not out of random events.

Evolution via Natural selection isn't random. Its not random if a creature has a mutation (random) that helps its chances of survival (not random) in some way so that its more likely to sexually reproduce. Its precisely the opposite of random.

If I remember... there's micro and macro evolution... one of them isn't random at all... the other is based on random events. Your probably talking about the one that isn't. Anyways togther they both make of up evolution...and I think the more fundumental parts of evolution are based on random events. It isn't just about natural selection, it's also about a big bang and how all these substances got mixed because of huge number of random events we have ourselves a functional human being with impossible odds. Evolution is definitely based on random events.

No. The bing bang is not what I'm talking about, the big bang is not evolution.

Evolution is about random mutations, yes, but that leaves out natural selection which culls the random events that aren't beneficial. So no evolution via natural selection isn't completely random, part of it is, but these impossible odds seem far less impossible if you've got the mechanism that allows beneficial mutations to thrive. Which is natural selection.

Now in terms of the substances mixing and creating the first organism, that is called I believe abiogenisis and I don't know enough about it. But again, its NOT evolution. Evolution is what happens once self-replicating organisms exist. Its a different process and one science doesn't completely understand yet (as far as I know).

I think it'd be a disservice to your God to make him a God of the gaps. The fact that science can admit it doesn't know something doesn't mean it wont work it out and looking at its track record my moneys on science to come up with a most adequate answer (plus it'll cull the crap).
