On evolution

The debate on evolution is about macroevolution. Most theists have no problems believing in micro-evolution. But to argue that man and other primates are descended from the same ancestor gives many the creeps. It is unfortunately sad that many do not know enough about evolution and the doctrine of creation to decide for themselves what they choose to believe. For example, have you ever heard of theistic evolution? But whatever your stand, I firmly believe that the right way forward is to have a proper understanding of the issues.

In that regard, I highly recommend that you are familiar with the modern evidences for Macroevolution, because the theory of evolution has come a long LONG way from Darwin. At the same time, be learned about the true controversies surrounding evolution, and be knowledgeable but highly careful about the intelligent design arguments.

There is nothing wrong with believing by faith. But it should always be faith seeking understanding.
