Both the theory of evolution and the Bible has steps or stages towards man. And if the stages are 1 celled life to more complex structures or entities, why do we have the diversity of things and life that we observe.

Both the Bible and evolutionary science has vegatation, reptiles, mammals, and finally man, in that order but why?

HMMMM!! Still thinking.

Pat ... don't get me wrong. I can tell from your posts that you are a genuine person and if there were more like you the world would be a much better place .... and I shouldn't be interfering in your thread ... but when people from two different cultures meet manners can be misinterpreted and misunderstood on both sides. Inadvertantly and blamelessly.

Just to let you know that, to me, this (yours) is a very presumptuous post that assumes the high moral ground, believing its mandate is valid on the obvious ground that there are lesser and higher things. A 'beads & trinkets' to placate the savages outlook. I don't know if you will understand .. I'm not that good with only words to explain.

Your understanding of evolution is as though you were taught it in a christian college that taught evolution only because the law required them to. There is an amazing world out there of which you are, so far, unaware. Please consider ..

no offence old buddy .... greg
