faith....why cant evolution fit within religious beliefs?

i seriously doubt God created man with a "POOF!" why do we insist that God's day is the same as our 24 hour day? the universe was whipped up in another day? maybe a God day is the same as our 2.817 million years. who knows? i wasnt there.

Thanks, it an interesting read.

During the Renaissance, the monkey was a general symbol of people's basest instincts, such as lust, gluttony, greed and selfishness. The shackled monkey represents the prison of secular pleasures, but it may also refer to the sinful Eve. Here, the monkey is the opposite of the pure mother of God.

What if say, the Bible part 1 (old Test) was a profile and poetic story line of the developement of the human soul and psche - mind you, I think 2500+ years ago they thought and wrote in a different context then today along with the need to explain the messages with imagery. The general pop wasn't as technical.

And say the 2nd hal (New Test) was really just a bunch of letters to different folk (Greeks, Romans, Jews and Scribes) about a new way to worship that had more to do with interspection and going beyound the basic commandmants, eliminating idolotry and hypocracy - bring God, Man and a LiaSON all together as a comprehensive unit - a trinity. God = Man = GodMan. Sorry it I offended anyone - forgive me Father John!

Then again, life most likely came from clay as stated earlier...
