Though the creationist denies evolution, he can very seldom refute the evidence for it. [Spirituality & Religion]
If you deny evolution, how do you refute the evidence we have for it in the for of fossils and genetics? Is your denial based on the evidence or is it based on a pre-existing world view?

as a christian i think others trying to deny evolution on all levels is stupid, if there was no evolution , there wouldnt be differing races, nor would there be any dogs. i think christians just run away from the word just because of its association with athiests, which is dumb
Interesting. Yeah in my experience and from my understanding of the general population, most christians these days accept that evolution occurred even if they think it was directed by god.
@Pikachu yeah well thats my interpretation as well, you dont know how many times ive had to argue with my mum that Darwin wasnt "stupid idiot who was trying to disprove god" , but that he was just observing adaptation etc etc, god had nothing to do with it ...i think he might have actually been a catholic? aparently
Yeah like most people at that time and place he was a christian.
I never grew up in that kind of environment. It must be frustrating. I've heard that sentiment a lot from deniers of evolution: you don't want to believe in god so you try to replace him with evolution.
@Pikachu there is definitely a community of very hostile and non-trusting christians, one i clearly was born into, and i get tired of the idea that its science vs Christianity, which sounds dumb, all these people that are so afraid of change that they refuse to be open to new thoughts. i know that used to scare me before i opened up was the idea that "atheists will make me question my faith" and its still an idea i have to force back due to my anxiety today
