Evolution vs. Creationism 2

Actually I finished the whole blog from the start. I have several hundred more words, putting together the arguments and examples. But my arguments could be a bit extreme which challenge some common understanding of the Bible. So, I decide not to post it. But anyway, my conclusion is to give some breathing room for the study of Evolution; let the scientist do their research. My opinion anyway.

Evolution vs. Creationism

I read this news, saying 25% of American believe both evolution & creationism. This news makes me think.

It seems to be an untold expectation for every Christian: if you believe in Bible, you must not believe in Evolution. The reason: Bible says very clearly all lives are created by God, but not evolved by themselves.

This seems to be a fair enough argument. As an engineer, I do see many faults in Evolution theory. One killer weakness: the theory can not be verified by experiment. So people can only derive the "fact", but can not 100% prove it. This does not up to the standard of any strict science.

On the other hand, I have a relatively rebel-thinking: it may be still a good idea to let people continue the study of Evolution, even though eventually it may be proved incorrect. Evolution is a study that helps so much in modern medical advance. It also helps to explain common relationship between animal and human, fulling people's curiosity. Even though its fundamental may be flawed, for engineering perspective, it works!

To be continued ...
