I wouldn´t use the word "believe" in this case......
I´d say that I do think that evolution happened someway but I´m not so sure that it happened exactly the way we are taught a school or how Darwin proposed. After all, it´s not called a "scientific theory" by chance or for no reason.
And I say that being a Christian that - and here I may use that word - believe that creationism and evolutionary thought are not opposite at all. In fact, they´re have a lot of things in common, much more than most people think |
Which are?
One uses the scientific method and the other one faith.
They couldn't be even more far from each other.

There's a lot of poor English on here. Evolution is not a fact, it's a theory. It will always be a theory by definition.
And to "believe" in something is to take it as truth.
So those saying they don't believe in it, it's not a theory it's fact just don't understand the meaning of the words they are using.
The correct answer is simply, yes, I believe in evolution.

LOL
Poor english? You sure about that? Because in science a theory has a different definition than a normal theory. Look it up: Scientific theory. Evolution is a fact. Saying otherwise is pure ignorance.

Double LOL. Did you even read what I said? Someone saying "It's not a theory, it's a fact" do not understand the meaning of "theory" as used in science. They are essentially saying "It's not a proven idea with lots of reasearch over a prolonged period of time, it's a fact". Actual scientists generally steer away from the word "fact" - and other absolutes - as it implies closed-mindedness. Evolution is very, very, very likely true, but as a scientific community we will continue to research it and find things we don't yet understand.
