And my point is that the US is nothing but 300 million "Joe Blows on the street". This is what we are. How can we be smart and stupid at the same time collectively? We can't. That makes no statistical sense whatsoever. Most Americans believe in one God FWIW. The rest are a minority, at least at the moment

How can we be smart and stupid at the same time collectively? Easy there rherz just start at one end of 70th street and walk to the other and see how much it can change along the way. From looking a how many views this thread has it would appear this is a hot button for all so with that said may the sheep be to the right and the goats to the left ! Thank all of you that have posted on this thread it has been fun.

Ok, point well taken. I guess I am biased and wanted to disagree with the writers. However I still stand by my point that man has not been able to replicate or prove the theory of macro evolution in the lab by creating life from scratch. Scientists can clone, mutate, and inbreed God's creatures all day long, but just try to make even a single cell organism out of basic elements like carbon, water, etc. There is absolutely zero evidence whatsover that this will ever be possible. Think about it. If new life cannot be created by intelligent beings using todays technology, then how did new life pop up on earth with no life on a sterile planet to begin with? Evolution offers no explaination for that. If we ever are able to create life, all that would prove is that it takes a VERY intelligent being to do it. Which supports the notion of "creation" by high intelligent beings with that ability, more than supporting the notion of a random "lightning strike" creating an amoeba or algae out of inanimate random elements for the very first time.

The same thing could be said about the "Big Bang" theory. I believe in the Big Bang, but what happened before the big bang? Nobody knows. Where did matter come from originally to begin with? Energy cannot be created or distroyed, only tranformed from one state to another. Where did the original storehouse of energy in the universe come from? Only God knows.

Agreed, I'll buy the Big Bang Theory, but what the heck was there before that ? I wonder what is beyond our Universe, supposedly the Universe is still expanding ? or did they find that it is shrinking now ? regardless, what' on the other side ??

too early in the day for such heady issues

No it is still expanding. They know this by a form of "doppler effect" on light waves (changing color) rather than sound waves (changing pitch).

Bang, but what happened before the big bang?

In the beginnig was the Word and the Word was God. Christ is the living word and do not mistake the Word and Christ as religion and emotionalism.
