Duh.  Evolution is not something you "believe" in any more or less than gravity or light, for example.

Yes, but I believe that God caused the Big Bang.

What does that have to do with anything?

It requires slightly more than that, since it isn't easily observable.

Not easily, no, but it's still observable.

Yes, because it's the best explanation that fits the evidence.

Evolution(certainly micro-evolution, even Evangelicals accept that) occurs. The religion I grew up in has no problems whatsoever with evolution and it's actually almost doctrinal.

I accept it as the most likely explanation until an even more likely explanation is provided or it is disproven.

No, not really.

It is not really a question of belief.

I do hold however that it is the most likeliest explanation of those offered so far.

Technically, it's a theory, but, at this point, there's really not much debating it. I just accept it as a fact.

Yes, evolution is bound to happen by changes occurring over time and creatures adapting.

As opposed to what?  I don't believe that we are descended from space aliens, or arrived via some deus ex machina, so that does narrow the options a bit. Smiley

Some form of a Godly hand making us. I agree with the earlier poster who said God initiated the Big Bang. Outside of that I have no clue, though I do believe we have a divine spark that puts us above the realm of wild animals which evolution can not explain.
