I Believe In Evolution

Well, sort of. I don't believe that man descended from monkeys. If that were so, why are there still monkeys around? They should have all died off and been replaced by man.
There are some definite forms of evolution, in which I must believe scientifically. One good example is the horse.
In the beginning, as it were, there was Eohippus, or the "dawn horse." Eohippus was about the size of a Lab Retriever. Then Eeohippus died out and evolved into Merychippus, a larger prototype of the horse. Then that species died out and was replaced by Pliohippus, who grew to the size of a pony. Finally Pliohippus developed into Equus, or the modern horse as we know it today. And so all we have left is Equus, all the others having died out. That is true evolution.
Okay, Homo Sapiens has some of the traits of apes and monkeys, but the point is that he never fully replaced them.

No, it's not Deism. Deism is if God just wound it up and let it go. We worship God because, as the Baltimore Catechism said, "He made all things and keeps them in existence." But since He is the creator of nature, He permits nature to do things in its natural order. Of course sometimes He does perform miracles, but some skepticism borders on the silly. For instance, one of my relatives once pointed out that if there really was a God, why does He permit rainy or stormy weather on Sunday? After all, Sunday is supposed to be the Lord's day. So why can't He fix it so that Sunday would be reserved as a perpetually nice day? Oh come on. I can think of several more absurd examples, but it would take up too much space.
