You may be thinking of Theistic Evolution.Both creationists and evolutionists are right. Allow me to attempt to explain why. This argument has been on-going ever since Darwin penned his famous treatise on the concept of evolution during his sea voyage long ago. Almost immediatly it was maligned and attacked so much so that when the issue went to the supreme court no less then half the planet tuned in to hear the verdict. In the end evolution won out though only barely and slowly over the centuries has become more respected and accepted. Yet still some reject it completely. These people claim that it was a creator and not evolution which begat the world. This would not be as much of a problem except that these people hold a whole bunch of other beleifes which are so out there that most people can only scratch their heads. I do not have issue with those who belive in creationism... i do have issue with people who belive in such nonsense as the Earth only being 6000 years old, mankind using dinosuars as beasts of burden and cattle... and all the other weird **** which they talk about. Science has not decisively determined whether there was a creator but it has proven that the Earth is many billions of years old, that man and dinos did not exist at the same time, and that all the other weird **** which they talk about is just that... ****. I shall continue this conversation at a later date and if anyone wishes to comment please do so when convienent.

does this help with the problem of creationism being a "theory?"
You think we need to get more direct and to the point as this is not basic enough? or have you simply lost all hope to make them understand the difference between what is and what is NOT a theory?:thud:
I'm not sure how much more direct and to the point one could get? I think I am slowly losing hope...and gaining apathy.
I do not "believe in" evolution.It's amazing to see such mutual back patting online.
In my school we didn't learn much about evolution, just a bit of genetics. Tell me, if this is an 'educational service' why you believe in evolution?
much appreciated.
Good for you, I know lots of people that believe in it.I do not "believe in" evolution.
I accept evolution as the best explanation for the diversity of life on this planet.
I have no need to "believe in" it.Good for you, I know lots of people that believe in it.
I do not have the time nor the patience to teach someone about evolution.Please educate me as to why you have come to that conclusion.
much appreciated
