As you have seen I feel strongly about holding on to your beliefs so I would be on the side of evolution also because I think that scientifically proven data is much more valid than words written by God's and Jesus’ followers. You might have the best lawyer in the world, but you can't disprove scientific facts, even if society doesn't accept it.
The teacher certainly makes a compelling case which would lead me to believe in his evolution theory. I think that Genesis is a book that deals a lot with the creation of earth and human species.
I think that I could backup my thinking and my point of view by showing you this excerpt from Genesis: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth"(gen 1:26). I also think it is absurd that this would happen: " And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years" (gen 1:14) because how can man just say something and make it be true? Not even a catholic man like me can believe that, and not even from a perfect being, not even from god.
There’s one more thing that bugs me about the bible, it just makes everything look so simple, or it makes everything look so complicated. It’s really annoying. For example: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”(Gen 1:27) I think it’s impossible even for the most powerful creature on earth to do everything so simply. This is why I back up my man Charles Darwin when he says: “Man is descended from a hairy, tailed quadruped, probably arboreal in its habits.”
Charles Darwin
I would also like to accompany this quote with yet another quote from this brilliant man: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.”
Charles Darwin
