Evolution seems to true on so many levels but why do the two have to be mutually exclusive. Could God not have used evolution as a part of his creation?
However, the theory of evolution that bacteria and amoeba came together from chemical elements and molecules by chance and evolved into every plant and animal in existence today without the direction of God is contrary to the Biblical account, especially the part of evilution that suggested the lie that one of the apes, like a chimpanzee, evolved into man rather than man being made directly from the ground by God to be in the image of God.
We have never seen any kind of animal reproduce another kind of animal, the animals all seem restricted within the same family, just as the Holy Bible reveals. So the theory of evolution has never been observed and is certainly not part of observable and reproducible science, the kind of science that benefits the society of man.
So the theory of evolution is speculation that must be accepted on faith and belief just like any other religion of man. It is definitely not science and should not be established as a state religion any more than Humanism.

I guess this dude is just as ignorant as I:

If you can take off your usual blinders, try reading this, it isn't even a video so you have to have the ability to read, but try it, you might even like it.
This is a new study on the origins of life:

Notice, there is no reference to evolution, because like I have been saying all along, life origins and evolution are two separate scientific disciplines. It doesn't matter WHAT the results of the life origin studies reveals, evolution is the study of what happens to life after it is already here.

But as far as evolution vs origin sudies is concerned - YECs like Smugface don't understand the difference between ANY sciences.
They confuse Biology with Geology and Cosmology and Physics and Chemistry.
They only focus on one field of study, and that badly, and that is Mythology.

Christianity requires faith, belief without evidence and despite contrary evidence.
Christianity thus promotes faith as a valid and indeed desirable way of determining truth, and of deciding
what to believe.
However faith is a complete anathema to science, it goes completely contrary to everything science stands for.
This means that there is an inherent and unavoidable conflict between science and Christianity.

Research Summary
"
I am interested in the evolution of complex biochemical systems. Many molecular systems in the cell require multiple components in order to function. I have dubbed such systems "irreducibly complex." (Behe 1996b, 2001) Irreducibly complex systems appear to me to be very difficult to explain within a traditional gradualistic Darwinian framework, because the function of the system only appears when the system is essentially complete. (An illustration of the concept of irreducible complexity is the mousetrap pictured on this page, which needs all its parts to work.) Despite much general progress by science in the past half century in understanding how complex biochemical systems work, little progress has been made in explaining how such systems arise in a Darwinian fashion. I have proposed that a better explanation is that such systems were deliberately designed by an intelligent agent. (Behe 1996b, 2001) The proposal of intelligent design has proven to be extremely controversial, both in the scientific community (for example, see Brumfiel, G. 2005. Nature434:1062‑1065) and in the general news media. (Behe 1996a, 1999, 2005) My current work involves: 1) educating various groups to overcome mistaken ideas of what exactly intelligent design entails, so that they can make informed judgments on whether they think it is a plausible hypothesis; and 2) trying to establish a reasoned way to determine a rough dividing line between design and non-design in biochemical systems.
Official Disclaimer
My ideas about irreducible complexity and intelligent design are entirely my own. They certainly are not in any sense endorsed by either Lehigh University in general or the Department of Biological Sciences in particular. In fact, most of my colleagues in the Department strongly disagree with them."
He is a firm believer in creationism, hiding under the term 'intelligent design'.
That makes all of his science work biased before he even starts a project.
He is not out to learn the truth, only to bend his work to force it to support creationism.
