Re: Reporter Suspended For Defending Evolution Comes Back, Gives Immediate Middle Fin
It depends on how those beliefs manifest themselves.
Do I believe that evolution puts the story of creation in Genesis in massive doubt, absolutely.
Does your belief in the god of Abraham force you to deny evolution which is clear and irrefutable fact?
if the answer is yes to that question, then I don't know what to tell you.
It's not gonna kill you, it's not gonna hurt you not to believe in evolution or doubt it's authenticity.
But as a human being, as a curious, knowledge seeking human being, to deny evolution is to deny the universe around you, to deny the very reason why things exist as you see them and if there is a creator, it pushes you farther away from that deity should it exist.
That's why we study physics, that's why we study biology, that's why we study chemistry, it's not to make someone feel bad about their beliefs, it's not to try to force you to believe something that isn't true, it's to get closer to understanding the universe and why it is the way it is.
And if I still believe the God of the Bible is the Creator, what would you say about my beliefs?
