Evolution and creationism both require faith. It's just a matter of where you choose to place that faith.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Whether or not evolution is compatible with faith, science and religion represent two extremely different worldviews, which, if they coexist at all, do so most uncomfortably.
For me, the peculiar qualities of faith are a logical outcome of this level of biological organization.
There are many very educated people who are religious, but they're not creationists.
Faith is something that's been created to help people get through life.
Faith is as essential to the spiritual realm as oxygen is to the natural realm.
Science has faith. We make postulates. We can't prove those postulates, but we have faith in them.
Science has sometimes been said to be opposed to faith, and inconsistent with it. But all science, in fact, rests on a basis of faith, for it assumes the permanence and uniformity of natural laws - a thing which can never be demonstrated.
I think it is impossible to explain faith. It is like trying to explain air, which one cannot do by dividing it into its component parts and labeling them scientifically. It must be breathed to be understood.
I have a strong feeling that the subject of evolution is beautiful without the excuse of creationists needing to be bashed.
You have to know evolution to understand the natural world. And that cannot be a threat to people of faith. There's a serious problem if you are forced by your faith to reject the most well-supported theory in all of science.
