Two Simple Questions

1. What is evolution?

2. Does it contradict the Bible?

Please answer in as simple terms as possible. For example, I'll turn the tables.

1. What is the Biblical creation account?

Answer: Every living thing, plant and animal was created to reproduce according to it's kind. Grass makes grass, turtles make turtles. Birds don't make lizards or lizards don't make birds.

@BlueSkyKing What refutes science is more complete and accurate, not better, science.

What impedes science is YOUR (representatives of science, not science itself) feelings, dogma, politics (i.e. "enlightenment" 9/11) and half baked opinion. I'm not even going to address YouTube videos. I understand your point and agree, but you can put accurate and complete science up on YouTube as well as the unfortunate alternative. If YouTube became the vehicle for the unfortunate latter it's only the fault of the former representatives and still, having said that, not the objective in the first place.

Religion is represented by, among others, idiots. Science is the new religion. The representation should be allowed because science, like religion, should be objective. The problem is the corruption of both (science and religion) by the debate of the idiots who misrepresent them. It's just noise. Ideological fixation. Financial and political incentive.

@AkioTsukino Not religion. Why can’t you get that science is methodology? Strict procedures with controls. Totally neutral to what people choose to do with it.

@BlueSkyKing [quote]Not religion.[/quote]

Oxford defines religion as a pursuit or interest to which someone ascribes supreme importance, so tell me how science, along with it's methodology is not a religion. I personally define religion as the strict adherence (at least in pretense) of a specific set of principles and/or repetitious ritual. How do you not see science as religion? Oxford also defines it as a particular system of faith and worship. Faith is simply trust, what is worship? Respect, honor, or devotion.

The only thing stopping you from seeing the obvious fact that science is a religion is your disdain for theocratic organized religion and an ignorance of what a deity is.

Everything is neutral to what people choose to do with it! Religion, not unlike science, isn't a sentient being. Religion is neutral in that regard.
